1974 Honda CB

Clear

A restored 1974 Honda CB550. I have a complete build history for the asking. Motorcycle was completely stripped down last winter and all parts either cleaned, painted or replaced. Motor, transmission, wheels, braking and electrical all fine. Smooth shifting. Clear title. Normal maintenance has been performed such as timing, cam chain adjustment, clutch, valve adjustment. New front brake master cylinder with stainless steel line. New pads on rear wheel. Although I have done a cafe-type treatment to the bike, I have not cut anything that would preclude the bike from being brought back to original. There are a couple of problems. First, the tank has what I think is a pin hole leak on one side, and I have included a picture of the bubble that it has produced. A POR15 treatment to seal the tank is in order, and of course repair the paint. Also, even though the bike runs and will idle fairly well, the carburetors are not right and I am tired of working on them. They have been rebuilt and cleaned thoroughly and I have tried to tune them correctly, but I did not change the float needles. I am willing to come way off my price just to give the task to a new owner. I have some of the old parts, including the old handlebar, and a Clymers Manual and file for the Honda Service Manual. I may be able to help in the delivery if you are not too far away. I am in west-central Indiana.
