New Pistons
So not only was the pistons machined wrong but the cylinders were decked wrong. So i scrapped that whole setup and bought new forged pistons and a new set of cylinders to be bored.

Turns out these pistons are total crap. They were machined wrong. On two of the pistons there is a height difference of .010 from one side of the piston to the other. So these are pretty much scrap. And the guy that used to make them I think may have died. Maybe i can use them as a bigbore on a CB125. Now I have to buy new pistons. $$$$

Gentleman's Express
There was an article back when on how to make your CB550 faster and handle better while still looking stock. Good article but the best part is the Diagram for modifying a CB750 piston to fit a 550 making it a 592 is in there. If anybody makes a set of pistons based off these plans let me know. I would appreciate a set.

1975 CB550 Pauline
Found this little Gem hidden way up in the hills. 1st owner had to sell it because he was too old to ride. Second owner just sat on it for a few years and let things rust up a bit. Then i bought it. This one I think will just be a simple restore and ride project.
Took the bags off and wiped her down a bit
I think this is my favorite color 550
