1973 Honda CB

I've owned this for ten years and have put about 5000 miles on it. I bought it from a friend without the tank and side covers because he had custom paint on it and wanted to put it on another bike. I bought the tank and covers on Ebay and they were already painted and the tank was sealed. I believe the tank is off of a 1975 or 76 because of the color and the fuel petcock is on the left side and the 1969 through 1973 were on the right. The left side is obviously better. Other than that there is no difference. I have put a little over a hundred miles on it after I took the photos (trying to decide whether to sell or not). I have two other motorcycles and other interests so I decided to sell. The Good: I put a new 16" tire on the rear with a new rim, tube, and spokes. The original tire is a 18".Seat is very good with no tears or serious marks.Paint on tank and covers is very good, I believe it was a professional job. No dents on tank.Front tire is very good.Battery is fairly new.It comes with windshield.It comes with a locking luggage box that fits on the rack. If I get a chance I will add a photo.Runs good but could probably use a tuneup. Everything works as it should. The Bad: It has a couple engine oil leaks.Front fork seals need replaced. I have new ones which come with the sale.The fuel leaks from the carb overflow hoses if you don't turn off the petcock. I put a new Honda valve on it and put new needle and seat's in the carbs as well as adjusted the floats. Floats may need further adjustment but as long as you turn off the valve when the bike is not running it doesn't leak.Front fender has a tiny wrinkle which is not very noticeable.The sidecovers both had hairline cracks which were repaired from the back with fiberglass cloth and resin. The left cover has a chip in the corner which is shown in the photo.The pipes on the right side have scrapes which also is pictured. One baffle is missing.
