Up for sale is a 1977 Honda CB550 Modern Cafe Racer. The odometer read just over 8000 miles when removed and I've put 1500 miles on the bike since then. Blasted and powder coated chassis. Tail section has been modified. New shocks in the rear, GSXR front suspension with machined upper triple clamp. Wide rear wheel with modern sport bike rubber. Has a rear disk brake. Front wheel has dual disc brakes, also has modern sport bike rubber. Full stainless exhaust with internal baffle / muffler. Hand made seat / tail section made from aluminum with hand bucked rivets. Seat padding is minimal yet comfortable. I'm sure if you wanted something better a local upholstery shop could create a custom seat pad for minimal cost. Tarozzi rearsets, custom made clip-on handlebars, new mini tach and a custom mini mirror. I use my cell phone on a holder for a speedo (not included), modern clutch and brake levers with new cables and aftermarket race throttle round out the view at the controls. Has a new ignition switch, minimal wiring, upgraded solid state regulator / rectifier. Electrical system has a single fuse to aid with simplicity. Choke cable relocated as well. Engine removed, cleaned and painted, carbs removed, cleaned and rebuilt at time of restoration. Gas tank recently painted. Compact headlight with custom made aluminum mounts. LED tail / brake light strip just below the seat pan. Also has a new Zero Gravity brand sealed battery under the seat. Please note that I have a 100% feedback rating which I take pride in. Worth noting: No blinkers, high/low beam switch or horn (your state may require a horn). I use hand signals for indicators. Gas tank does have some rust inside, I keep the tank topped up and run an in-line fuel filter and have had no carburetor issues. See videos of recent ride and walk around here: Keep in mind I'm 6' tall 220 lbs.https://youtu.be/hVEPHZjDvDUhttps://youtu.be/Ii_5hf4V--gI've been riding the bike for a little over a year. The bike handles, and stops very well. You won't see many of these conversions with spoked wheels. It sparks interest wherever it goes.I encourage interested buyers to come and inspect the bike in person prior to purchase. I expect that all bidders ask all questions prior to bidding. Test rides require $4500 cash in hand prior.I reserve the right to end the auction at any time as it's listed for sale locally. TERMS
