Description

1976 CB550K third owner 29k miles in un-restored original condition. No reserve with clear title. Condition - Very Good early production CB550 K2 Super clean but not a show bike. That said it is a un-restored survivor - meaning typical to a 38 year old bike there always issues with owning an old bike. Maintenance has been kept up but there are some condition details to explain. There is some fading on the top of the gas tank (looks like gas run off) but the paint is the original Candy Garnet Brown! The side covers have a few small scraps but no cracks also in Candy Garnet Brown. Emblems. tank and side covers are in good condition with all tabs in place. All the trim is present and the original seat foam is not blown out however the "Honda" lettering on the seat is a little faded. The exhaust pipes are original and in really good shape with just a small scrape on the #4 pipe below the motor (can only be seen on a motor lift). Recently pulled the carbs. soda blasted the bodies. cleaned everything and re-assembled.  Engine is original to the bike # CB550E-1075851. Tires are good but slightly aged. Original purchased in 2011 for my wife to tag along on our vintage Honda rides in and around the Washington DC area. She put about a thousand miles on her and then we decided to have a baby. This bike. and my 1973 CB750k for that matter. have been sitting on a battery tender in the garage ever since.  Bike has original owners manual but no tool kit. We're are selling this for no reserve so the highest bidder takes it. I can help load on a truck. trailer or if you willing you can ride it away.  Not much else to say about the bike other than it rides really well and draws a crowd this second its parked. I have a great story about transporting this bike home after purchasing her to share with the winner.  Good luck bidding

Hello - A keen eBayer noticed the small dent in the gas tank that I failed to mention. It's not that noticeable but it's there and probably can be corrected by paintless dent removal. The condition inside the tank itself is good/excellent. Bike runs and stops. I added a picture with the dent which is around 4pm in that picture.
