Man, I had the exact same 74 CB550, same color and everything. My friends father was the original owner. It was last registered in 82, hasn't ran since 84. My friend gave it to me in 2005 when their family moved.

I spent all winter on a full frame up restoration, the motor was seized so it had to be rebuild completely. I foolishly sold the bike for the price of parts I put in, all because I had my eye on a RC51 that I came across. My friend had since passed away and I've been searching to buy the bike back, one of my biggest regrets was selling that bike.
