Description

I DID A GROUND UP BUILD FOR A DOCTOR IN OKLAHOMA ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO AND TOOK THIS CB550 HOME WHEN I DELIVERED HIS CB750.   IT WAS ONE OF THOSE BIKES THAT SHOULD HAVE HAD A DEED INSTEAD OF A TITLE.   IT  HAD AT LEAST 10 POUNDS OF RED OKLAHOMA DIRT ON IT.   I TOOK IT HOME AND CLEANED IT AND GOT IT RUNNING AND PUT IT AWAY.   I JUST FINISHED MY NEW 1200 SQUARE FOOT SHOP AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD FIRST PROJECT.   I TOOK THE ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION APART AND INSTALLED NEW SEALS AND OIL. LUBED AND SERVICED THE TRIPPLE TREE BEARINGS.   REBUILT THE FRONT CALIPER AND INSTALLED NEW PADS. REBUILT THE MASTER CYLINDER NEW FLUID.   REPLACED THE COILS. WIRES AND POINTS WITH DYNA-TEK ELECTRONIC IGNITION. BULLETPROFF. THE CARBS WERE SENT OFF TO OLD SCHOOL CARBS IN SAN JOSE. CALIFORNIA FOR A TOTAL REBUILD.   JACK DOES A REALLY FINE JOB AND THEY LOOK AND WORK LIKE NEW.   I HAVE HAD THE TANK AND SIDE COVERS SITTING AROUND FOR A FEW YEARS AND THOUGHT THEY LOOKED PRETTY GOOD ON THIS OLD HONDA.   THE JARDINE PIPES ARE GOOD. NO RUST AND SOUND REALLY NICE.   TIRES ARE NOT MATCHED BUT GOOD AND NO CRACKS.   THE SIDE PANELS ARE NOT CRACKED AND THE PAINT JOB IS A 7 OUT OF TEN. A PROFESSIONAL JOB BUT A FEW YEARS OLD.   FACTORY AIR CLEANER WITH NEW FILTER. NEW BATTERY. STARTS AND RUNS LIKE IT SHOULD. THERE IS A SLIGHT DISCOLORATION ON THE SEAT THAT I THINK WILL COME OFF.  YOU CAN RIDE THIS OLD CB OR MAKE A CAFE BIKE OR RESTORE TO ORIGINAL.   THE HARD STUFF IS DONE. EVERYTHING WORKS AS IT SHOULD. HORN. LIGHTS AND BOTH STARTERS.   I DID NOT SPEND A LOT OF TIME POLISHING AND SHINNING STUFF I WILL LEAVE THAT UP TO YOU.  LOCATED IN COMBINE TEXAS JUST 20 MILES EAST OF DALLAS.   SHIPPING NO PROBLEM YOU MAKE THE ARRANGEMENTS.   MORE INFO CALL BOB 214-354-6333 MOST ANYTIME.
