VERY ORIGINAL 1973 HONDA 350F, SAME OWNER FOR 40 YEARS! THE BIKE SAT IN A SHED FOR 31 YEARS! ORIGINAL OWNER WOULD TURN IT OVER EVERY NOW AND THEN,,,, AND, BLESS HIS HEART, HE OILED THE CYLINDERS! AFTER A COMPLETE CARB REBUILD AND TUNE, AND LOTS OF CLEANING, IT FIRED RIGHT UP. THE BIKE RUNS LIKE A SWISS WATCH AND IS AN ABSOLUTE JOY TO RIDE. IT AMAZES ME HOW HARD THE LITTLE JEWEL OF AN ENGINE PULLS. I WILL TRY TO LIST EVERYTHING I CAN THINK OF ABOUT THE BIKES CONDITION----- PERFECT SEAT. EVERY LIGHT AND SWITCH, ETC. WORKS. VERY NICE, NOT PERFECT, ORIGINAL PAINT. EVERY CONNECTION CLEANED. THERE IS SOME MINOR PITTING HERE AND THERE AS WOULD BE EXPECTED FROM A BIKE THAT SAT IN STORAGE FOR MANY YEARS. A TINY DING IN THE TANK THAT CAN ONLY BE NOTICED IF YOU LOOK FROM THE RIGHT ANGLE AND CAN BE REMOVED WITH PAINTLESS DENT REMOVAL. THERE WAS A SMALL DENT IN FRONT FENDER THAT HAS BEEN TAPPED OUT. NEW TIRES, TUBES AND RIM STRIPS. NEW BATTERY. NEW POINTS-CONDENSER. NEW PLUGS. I DISMANTLED THE BIKE AND CLEANED EVERY PART ON IT. THE LAST LICENSE PLATE FROM 1981 IS STILL ON THE BIKE. PERFECT GAUGE FACES WITH NO FADE. GAUGES WORK PERFECTLY. I INSTALLED A BEAUTIFUL SET OF MACS' 4 INTO 1 EXHAUST, SEE PICS, AS THE ORIGINALS WERE IN TERRIBLE CONDITION. I STILL HAVE THEM AND THEY WILL GO WITH THE BIKE. THE MACS' LOOK FANTASTIC, HAVE A NICE LITTLE SNARL TO THEM AND SOUND JUST RIGHT. THIS IS JUST AN EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE OF AN ORIGINAL SURVIVOR. I CAN'T GET OVER HOW MUCH FUN THIS LITTLE SWEET HEART IS TO RIDE. I HAD FORGOTTEN HOW MODERN A BIKE IT IS. THE LITTLE ENGINE IS JUST TOO SWEET! AS YOU WALK UP ON THIS BIKE, IT MOST DEFINITELY HAS THE "WOW FACTOR". ONE THING IT STILL NEEDS DONE,,,, THE HEAD OF THE BOLT HOLDING THE OIL FILTER HOUSING ON IS MANGLED FROM,, YOU GUESSED IT,, VISE GRIPS! NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. I WOULD PUT THIS BIKE AT A 71/2 TO 8 ON THE COSMETICS, A DEFINITE 10 ON MECHANICALS AND A 200 FOR FUN FACTOR!! I THINK I HAVE IT ALL, IF I NOTICE ANYTHING ELSE I WILL ADD IT. CALL ME (TOM) AT 715 579-6060 OR EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS!!! VERY REASONABLE RESERVE,,,, SO BID HIGH, OFTEN AND WITH RECKLESS ABANDON!!! THE WINNING BIDDER MUST PUT DOWN A $500 DEPOSIT IMMEDIATELY UPON WINNING THE AUCTION. THE REMAINDER WITHIN 7 DAYS, AS DECIDED BETWEEN US, BUT NOT BY PAYPAL UNLESS BUYER PAYS THE FEES. IT WOULD NOT BE FAIR TO DISCLOSE THE RESERVE SO DON'T ASK, OK? I AM WILLING TO DELIVER UP TO 500 MILES AT MY COST. MY TRUCK GETS 17 MILES PER GALLON AND I AM A MOTEL 6 GUY, SO YOU CAN GET AN IDEA OF COST FROM THAT. YOU CAN PICK IT UP ANY TIME, HOWEVER I WILL BE OUT OF TOWN JULY 11TH THRU 22ND. I WILL STORE THE BIKE FOR A WHILE AS LONG AS IT IS PAID IN FULL. I HAVE SOLD MANY BIKES ON EBAY AND INSIST THAT ALL GO WELL FOR BOTH SELLER AND BUYER. CALL ME (TOM) AT 715 579-6060 OR EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS!! OK, THAT SHOULD DO IT. THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK BIDDING ON THIS SWEET LITTLE HONDA!! I ALSO HAVE A NICE, ORIGINAL 74 YAMAHA TX 500 IN BIRD BLUE AVAILABLE, SHOULD BE ON EBAY LATE THIS WEEK.
