1981 Honda CB

JS2SC010XBM006230

UP FOR SALE IS A RESTORED 1981 HONDA CB900F. THE CB900F WAS SOLD IN THE US FOR TWO YEARS, 1981 AND 1982. THIS BIKE WAS ALMOST ALL ORIGINAL WHEN I PURCHASED IT IN OCTOBER OF 2009. THE PREVIOUS OWNER STATED THAT HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW "DUMPED" THE BIKE WHEN THE CLUTCH CABLE BROKE ON TAKE OFF. HE HAD THEN PARKED THE BIKE AND IT SAT UNTOUCHED FOR YEARS. THE TANK HAD A COUPLE OF DINGS, THE HEAD LIGHT HOUSING WAS TRASHED, (2) SIGNAL LIGHT LENS WERE BROKEN, THE EXHAUST HAD BEEN CHOPPED AND IT WAS IN NEED OF A FRAME UP RESTORATION. I DID JUST THAT. IT WAS HARD FOR ME NOT TO RESTORE AN ALL ORIGINAL, RELATIVELY LOW MILEGE BIKE THAT WAS HONDA'S FIRST SUPERBIKE. I HAVE RESTORED OVER A DOZEN BIKES IN THE LAST 15 YEARS AND THIS WAS DEFINATLEY THE MOST CHALLENGING. LOTS OF PARTS TO ATTEND TO AND TYPICAL HONDA OVER ENGINEERING, BUT VERY REWARDING IN THE END. I HAVE HUNDREDS OF HOURS IN THE RESTO AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO LIST EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN DONE TO THE BIKE. THE BIKE RUNS AND RIDES GREAT. I DID NOT REPLACE THE STATOR COVER OR THE SPEEDOMETER HOUSING, THESE ARE THE ONLY ITEMS THAT SHOW THEIR AGE.
