1976 Honda CB

Clear

Vintage 1976 Honda CB550 custom brat style cafe racer. This bike has had absolutely everything either replaced with new items or has been redone. It needs nothing other than a new home. It was a one owner bike and only had 13,000 miles on it before being professionally rebuilt, and has had roughly 2,000 more since its completion. The previous owner purchased it new from the dealer in 1976 and used it to commute during college. The engine ran great so it was inspected and given a full tune up along with being coated in special high temp ceramic engine enamel and having all the old hardware changed to new polished stainless allen heads. Carburetors were ultrasonically cleaned and fully rebuilt and rejetted, along with receiving new high performance dirtbike style air filters. Ignition system was cleaned and adjusted to factory spec. The engine was finished off with a new black full exhaust which looks great and sounds mean along with providing a nice increase in power. Mechanically the bike is perfect and it has no leaks or problems. The wheels have been powdercoated semi-gloss black and have all new bearings in them. It also has new tubes and vintage style Firestone tires that still have tons of life left in them. The brakes were rebuilt front and rear and upgraded to a new stainless line for increased stopping power, along with having the old glazed front rotor and rear drum resurfaced. The tank was repainted satin black and has gold leaf style Honda logos. The seat is a custom made steel seat pan that was covered in real Italian high quality leather. The wiring harness has been entirely reworked to a clean simple minimal harness with a light weight maintenance free lithium battery. This bike is setup as kick start only although the stock electric starter is still in the engine and was functioning previously. It starts first kick hot or cold without choke. I have a clean/clear FL title in hand and it can easily be registered anywhere without a problem. Here is your chance to own an awesome nimble cafe that is a ton of fun to blast around on! Everywhere this bike goes there's a crowd around it! I have no problem assisting with shipping in any way possible, both international and domestic. picture share image hosting above 5 mb images hosting screen grab img upload photo hosting free photo upload photo share adult image
