Very original completely restored honda bike. This is a time capsule that would give you an idea of what one would look like back in the day. I bought this from an old timer that kept it in the garage its entire life. When I bought it I had the tank cleaned spotless on the inside. I painted the outside. Its got a new carburetor, speedo cable, pet cock, fuel line, tires, battery, tubes, coil, plug, points, condenser, flasher relay, bulbs. The rest of it was in mint condition. I got the headlight, brights, turn signals, horn, all electrical to work. It cranks first kick. It runs like a champ. It has the power you would expect from a modern bike and the reliability of a modern bike. The only thing that isn't original on the bike is the speedometer. I have the original one that doesn't work. I put one off of another honda on it that does work so I would know how fast I'm going. I have the original title to the bike which is unheard of with a bike this old. I also have the original owners manual, and I have the paperwork where the original owner took the bike to the dealer for service. This is definitely a bike in the top one percent of being kept in good condition and original condition. I have tried to keep it that way while making it a reliable bike to ride. I have spent the last year restoring it and occasionally riding it. I have no more room for it anymore, unfortunately, and like many of more classic bikes I have; I will have to sell it. This is a no reserve auction. Highest bidder wins.
