Description

Hi; This is a true Barn Find that I got this last summer. Had to have an old Honda to ride in a Harley Parade here . A non runner . been sitting for years but. had a title and chrome wasn't that bad . along with the tank paint as you can see. The seat is mine that I keep and will be replaced by the original with a new cover I'm going to install purchased here on Ebay for 65. 00. I've restored these before along with a few CL77's and just love them. Small enough to kick around town but large enough to accelerate and run on a real highway for a while for an old man at least. Nice! When I got it. the following was done to ride. Removed and rebuilt Carbs. Replaced battery with new. replaced chaiin. changed oil and removed and cleaned and adjusted clutch. Removed front wheel and replaced frozen brake system. same with rear. Repaired all lights. got running and is now OK. Electric starter is still not functional. needs the rollers behind stator that wear out over years. and like I said the seat will be replaced with new cover on a 73 side open seat I believe. Tires hold air and run well to 60+ but to ride often I'd replace both. Old and rotton but good tread. Starts well and runs strong. shifts well and all work as designed except electric starter. Write with any questions. this will be a good project of you or me if not sold to restore. I"m working on one now that someone actually powder coted the frame and parts but. couldn't rebuild motor to restore or assemble so too many projects for right now. Low reserve . These are becoming the classics and are good riders to boot. 500. 00 due within 48 hrs of end or with prior agreement and remainder within 7 days. I can store until pick up or shipping for an agreed upon time up to 2 mos. eBay Turbo ListerThe free listing tool. List your items fast and easy and manage your active items.

I recovered a seat for this bike but the seat doesn't fit bike.  I have the stock seat that will be included not the 1968 shown so I lowered the reserve. you guys are close. write with any questions. And if you wish I will repair electric start for additional charges.
