You probably have. I post many photos of the bike on my IG profile (RustyOlive) no plans at this time to sell it... but ya never know, for the "right" price.. anything is possible. LOL but this girl has a special place in my heart. I wouldn't let it go easy or cheap. LOL
I hear that man but i've been looking to find me a cb550 in NY which i live at and im still looking on the forums on how to do the swing arm conversion let alone wanna shorten the rear tail similar to yours except mine is a Dunstall style rear tail
Kevin morimoto good luck man... the used to be a dime a dozen up here... people couldn't give then away... now, you can't find them.. and when you do.. everyone wants an arm and leg for a crappy rusted up maybe running one... its getting harder to get deals for them. having to drive 2-3hrs minimum out side my city to find the better priced bikes.
well i found a few for 1500-2000 so that's really not that bad as well i can just strip everything i need to do , only thing that will make or break me is doing the frame the right way and want to shorten as i stated similar to yours. other than that , keep up the good work
If you dont mind me askin, what rims are you using for both the front and rear tires? Is the chain guard clearance still ok or you modified it to fit the rear tire?
What type of rear wheel are you using it looks like a low profile CBR rim between cut down with a milling machine on the sides can you tell me more about the swing arm and your rear wheel you're using the rim is different from mine mine
Custom drilled and dimpled Spin Werkes 18x5.50 rim. Over sized stainless spokes and nips to laced offset, up to the stock cb550 rear hub. Milled offset sprocket carrier and offset drive sprockets to gain the chain clearance around the 180/55/18 tire. I fabricated my own swing arm
Cool houses look the same.. Nice bike. Any good shops in Toronto for bobber/café racers? Looking for old school hot rod bobber look. Or a 550 café.. Cheers see you around
+COPO JOHN thanks. She's down and out right now. Motor exploded last summer. Olivia 2.1 is in the works for next season. Bigger, better, faster. Lol I wouldn't recommend many shops for custom work around here unless you have a lot of $$ .. Get to know local fabricators like Back Alley Motorcycles or I. Lol
Custom drilled and dimpled Spin Werkes 18x5.50 rim to match the cb550 rear hub. Stainless oversized spokes and Nips. Laced offset with custom milled offset chain ring carrier and offset front sprocket to fit around the 180x18 tire.
This is the cleanest 550 I've ever seen. Good work!
Nice bike! 70's the best years..

👍👀und immer wieder schön ,der Sound 👀👍super gut 👏👏👏👏
Very clean lines .. good looking .. sounds great. to Shinee for me. still a good looking bike.. thank you for keeping art on the road..

The front end, calipers and breaks came from a 2006 Honda CBR600RR
That dude doesn't look a lot like an Olivia.
The headers and pipe/baffle are Mac 4-1. With the comp baffle. This video is old. Now I run a cycleX 12" shorty open pipe with the Mac header.
I swear i seen this bike on instagram and Lord its Beautiful please don't sell it
