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 fine old 1974 Honda CB550K0 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. PLEASE CHECKOUT THE PICTURES. As you can see this bike is very nearly complete missing just the battery & r/h side panel. The bike has obviously stood a while so the carburetors are stuck & paint is faded. Sadly the front mudguard is deted & the 4:1 exhaust is non standard. BUT NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS. The bike is every bit as nice as it looks here. The wheels are straight with nice cleanchrome rims. good hubs & brake plate. disc. caliper & working master cylinder. Forks & yokes look straight. Mudguards are both solid & rear is very tidy. Tail light assy is good as are the headlight & hangers. Indicators are tidy. Instruments & switches look great. Fuel tank & side panel are faded but tank isusably clean inside. Seat is in very good condition throughout. Chain guard is tidy. The engine is cosmetically clean. it turns over nicely off the kick starter – sounds/feels great & has compression – 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?
