Here is Brady's assembly process on his CB550 brat cafe for the Seaweed and Gravel Good Luck Tour.

Day 8The engine is in! Carbs are one! and next is wiring and pipes! Waiting for the seat from the upholsterer.

Day 7 Everything is painted and ready to assemble! Here is the rolling chassis. This is the fun part! Most of the planning is worked out and all the parts have arrived, all that's left is put it all together.

Day 6Breakdown for Paint! Get all the pieces organized for paint. He is not going to powder coat this bike due to time. Powder coating is backed up about 3-4 weeks! We ain't got time for that.

Good Luck Tour BuildDay 2Brady Young has the idea already in his head what he wants to do with this Honda CB550. It is a different kind of build, being that it is for him and not a client. This opens up all the possibilities to create whatever he wants and to think and move in a quick manner to solve challenges. Making everything really subtle and simplified is the overall goal. Stock modified would be the term. Fabrication of  the mono shock conversion and seat hoop is seen here. Working out all the angles and lines to flow together.
