Nice, Vintage 1976 Honda 550K with less than 10K miles. Runs, rides and shifts great. All original (except consumables such as battery, tires, filters, hoses, etc). All original paint and chrome. Gas tank has No Dents and is clean inside. Original side covers in great condition (no cracks and with original badges), still has "helmet sticker" on it! Under seat is original toolkit, owners manual, warranty book and really old electrical wiring diagram. Exhaust is solid with only the minimal of rust detectable. All lights and gauges are in working order. Tires have decent tread, but obviously some weather cracking/dry rot has occurred. I added a battery tender connection, but the charger unit does NOT come with it. Still uses original Honda key (although it shows some major wear). Only one key available. Bike won an "Honorable Mention" for it's division at the 2010 Riding Into History (ridingintohistory.org) motorcycle show. Might've won the category if there wasn't an older/rarer bike there (but hey, IT was restored, so COME ON!). Bike overall has usual wear and tear for a 38 year old motorcycle (small scratches on tank, some corrosion, etc). I've tried to include photos of any substantial mark. There is a scratch in the front fork aluminum, a nick in the sticker on right side of tank, small dent in exhaust on right, scratches on seat's "plastic chrome" rail, spot on side cover, spots on seat... but really nothing you will notice until you get really close to the bike. This is a clean machine. No known mechanical issues. Back brake needs new drum pads. Front brake softer than I'd prefer, but that's an age issue. Throttle grip slips a little so I added tack'em to make it stick. Again, an age issue. Go to http://youtu.be/yeb7gI4lOkk to view a brief video of the bike.
