I know I should have found a 650 frame, but I couldn't argue with the deal I got on the 550 frame. Saw it on ebay, ended up being an hour away and it was only $50 with a clean title. I had the airbox mounted up in the 550 frame but the rubber boots did not want to go back on as they had been shriveled by age.

You guys sure did a number on that bike, bent frame, both front forks bent, front wheel bent, and one of the rear shocks looks tweaked. Not to mention the road rash/bent levers. Let's hope the engine is in better shape.

A few things I could have done differently but I'm content knowing that I very well could be one of the first to do this swap crap to a 550. The online nighthawk community seems to be scared to mod their bikes.
