$2900
I'm testing the waters with my latest acquisition, a 1976 Honda CB550 SS custom cafe racer. My friend Andrew has spent thousands of dollars and several years getting this little gem to this point and now we're looking to see if someone out there might want to either enjoy it as is or take it to the next level. The only major items remaining are paint and seat upholstery.

From the Craigslist ad:
Selling my 1976 Honda CB550 SS cafe racer custom. Completed five years ago with quality (and expensive) components; about $6000 invested. The list of upgrades/updates is long, here's some highlights:
• CR Special carburetor set
• Billet velocity intakes
• Moto GPwerks complete exhaust system (rare piece)
• Custom hand-formed aluminum tail and seat pan
• Billet upper triple clamp
• Clip-on handlebars
• Integrated tail, brake and turn signals in frame loop
• Engine tuned by Cycle X in Hazelhurst, WI
• Engine painted, covers polished
• Billet rear-sets
• Aftermarket speedo and tach
• Sun Rims aluminum rims with SS spokes laced to OEM hubs
• New shocks with progressive springs
• Brake disc drilled
• Spin-on oil filter adaptor
• Electrics relocated under seat
This is a great-running custom. The bike has approximately 21,000 miles (I have the original speedo showing 19,993 mi). It's been operated as is for the past five years. Taking it to the next level would require fresh paint and seat upholstery. The components are quality, the bike has the right stance and look. The engine was purposely left stock for Honda reliability and ride-ability. I will link a video of a walk-around and start-up, but the camera can't capture the awesome exhaust sounds. I'm downsizing my stable and gettin' a bit old for this type of bike. Clear and clean title.
Delivery via open trailer is possible with arrangements.

Update:
The CB550 has sold. Early this morning Boon and friend King made the trip from central Wisconsin and trailered the bike home.
Boon is excited to have his first vintage ride and wants to learn more hands-on skills. I think he's chosen the perfect bike. Best of luck, and many safe rides ahead.
