1975 Honda CB550 K1

Introduction: Selling a very nice. mostly original 1975 Honda CB550 K1. A new set of OEM exhaust pipes were installed by the previous owner. I've owned the bike for five years. I have put very few miles on the bike; rode it around Daytona during Bike Week a couple of times. I have way too many bikes and projects so I'm letting a few go. I keep a battery tender attached to keep the battery charged. but since I haven't ridden it much. the front brake is sticking again. It did this before; easy repair. It starts and runs. but the carbs need cleaning/flushing again. Very few blemishes. There is a slight indentation towards the rear of the tank. You have to be at the right angle to be able to see it. As you will see from the pictures below. this bike is in incredible shape for being 40 years old. Look over the pictures thoroughly and ask questions. I will try my best to answer them.
