Honda CB description

Up for bids and sold to the highest bidder is this 1978 Honda CB550K Four. 95% original and untouched. Presents well for driver quality. This machine runs and rides but is a light project. Only 14k original miles. No leaks, smoke or unusual sounds. The bike had sat for 6-8 years. I installed a new battery and rebuilt carbs. I've ridden 27 miles. Either the carbs need adjusting or bigger jets to accommodate the air cleaner pods. Holds idle but has flat spots through the rpm range.  I'd go back to the stock airbox. I have the original airbox(no boots or top). I installed a new clutch cable and the bike shifts through the gears smoothly. The front brake was rebuilt and brakes work as intended. I have installed 2 new tires(27 miles) and tubes. Chrome is nice on wheels. Chrome overall looks presentable. Some light rust pitting and surface rust. The exhaust looks nice. No rash or egregious scratches. Some light rust down low and pitting on back side. The seat looks good but has 2 seam splits on top. The paint is original with scratches and a few small dents. Some clear coat peel on top. The side covers look good with no damage. The emblems have some oxidation as seen. All of the lights and gauges work. The tachometer needle sticks at around 6k rpm. The turn signals works as does brake light. The horn and all switches work.  Has a clear Ohio title.

In 1998 and 1999 he won the 250cc races and since then has had nine podiums in the premier-class including five victories, the last of which was in 2005.
