LOOK BID BUY!!!It's that time of year when a man needs something to tinker with in the garage. SCROLL DOWN FOR MORE PIC's & DESCRIPTION. This very fine old 1978 Honda CB550K Four has recently been imported from North America where it has spent all its life – the air is thin and the climate is far kinder to motorcycles than ours. This and the fact it's only showing 22180 miles and has been in dry storage for the last umpteen years have helped maintain its boyish good looks. PLEASE CHECKOUT THE PICTURES. As you can see this bike is very nearly complete missing just the Airbox rubbers. battery & r/h side panel badge. The bike has obviously stood a while so the carburetors are stuck. seat & tyres are perished. Sadly the front master cylinder isn't working. BUT NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS. The bike is every bit as nice as it looks here. The wheels are straight. Forks & yokes look straight with good chrome. Mudguards are both solid. Tail light assy is good as are the headlight & hangers. Instruments & switches look great. Fuel tank & side panels are painted but tank is squeaky clean inside. Exhaust system is the original MH404& is in remarkable solid condition. Seat base is in solid condition throughout. The engine is cosmetically clean – When we hooked it up to a good battery & fed it a few squirts of ether it starts & runs but the carbs do need attention. If you require any further information please give us a call or better still visit our showroom and have a good look over the bike for yourself – after all who are you going to believe me or your own eyes?
