Oh, what an amazing find! I'd definitely like to see it returned at least close to stock! If you were doing a raffle sort of thing as a give-away (donating proceeds instead of the bike -- though I absolutely understand the logistical nightmare that would be, and no I'm not making the suggestion), I'd have to admit to being extremely interested in purchasing a chance for it.

Those handlebars are awful. I'm not sure about the chopper vibe, but I'm sure it'll turn out great no matter what. I've just never loved the idea of making a 4 cylinder into a chopper. If you don't go the chopper route, I have some euro spec (low) bars for that bike. Cut for wires already.

😂 I am normally a purist as one can tell by looking at the 16 motorcycles I currently own. But I also like to honor the people that owned them before. When it was done in the period. I once had a 1954 Zundapp that the original owner(only before me) turned into a dirt bike. Paint scallops on the tank hand pinstriped. Not the best but it was perfect. Just like this 550 it was on the road(legally) for 5 years in that time this is what it became. So I thinks it’s pretty cool. The original owner is still alive and we are trying to get a sit down with him. If that happens it is definitely going to be a chopper. Thanks for watching.
