It's timeless. On the left of the weld is original 550 Spyder aluminum from 54-55, on the right is brand new aluminum, hard to tell a difference!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) that has to be so cool to see those parts in person . . . to hold them in your hand, and to see what they did all those years ago.
I restored a 1960's Honda Dream back in the early 90's. The quality of the welds is terrible. Functional - yes. Pretty - hell no. That was back when the Japanese were just really getting serious about kicking America's (and the UK) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) in the motorcycle market. They were quick learner's and took the advice of people like Demming seriously. Was super cool to be able to look at that early step in their evolution. Same going on there with the 550. Absolutely cool and thanks @unobtanium-inc for sharing these sorts of photos and learning opportunities with the community. |
