Honda CB description

I have for sell my '76 CB550.  I acquired it, non-running, two months ago (it had been sitting in a garage since the year 2000, unridden).  It came with the clean, vintage set of Jardine pipes seen in the photos.  It has a clean and clear NC title and registration in my name.  In the past two months, I have done the following to the bike:

  • Carbs were soaked/deep cleaned, individually and meticulously
  • All new carb internals (all the jets, emulsion tubes, needles, valves, and rubbers were replaced)
  • Carbs were bench synced
  • Valve check (all are in perfect spec - .002" on intake side and .003" on exhaust side)
  • Original coils/coil wires resistance test done - all in perfect spec
  • Points and ignition timing set to spec (the bike has newer Tec points setup)
  • Fresh oil change and oil filter/filter O-ring
  • New Dunlop K70 tires (front and rear)
  • New battery
  • New air filter
  • New airbox boots (no cracks or dry-rot in any of the rubbers along the intake)
  • New intake manifold O-rings
  • New starter button switch/throttle housing (the original switch was broken, the replacement is made identically to the original)
  • New stainless steel front brake piston/piston seal/brake fluid (the front brake caliper was cleaned very well in the process of replacing parts)
  • New points cover gasket
  • New NGK plug caps (upgraded the original 10K Ohm caps to the 5K Ohm version for better spark)
  • All new OEM-spec NGK plugs
  • New halogen headlight housing with removable/replaceable HI/LOW bulb
  • New ABS gloss black side covers
  • New aluminum turn signals and Lucas style tail light (I have original signals, rear signal/grab rail and tail light boxed up)

The bike is in great shape.  Everything on the bike works as it should - all switches, gauges, seat latch/lock, indicator lights (even the neutral light works correctly 100% of the time), gas cap latch/floating gas gauge - everything on the bike works as it should, with no broken parts or stripped out bolts anywhere.  The original seat has absolutely no rips or tears.  It idles, runs and rides great - it is a very fun bike on the mountain twisties.

The only issues across the bike are the missing center stand and the fact that it could use some cleaning (I haven't started cleaning/polishing the bike - I've been focused on making it perfect mechanically since I acquired it and, of course, riding it); however, just a simple swipe of steel wool on the rims, fenders or pipes makes the chrome shine very nicely.  It would be an easy bike to clean up as it only has minor dirt/dust buildup and very minor surface rust.

Bear Riding a Monkey? Yep, Bear Riding a Monkey

Thu, 06 Mar 2014

Okay, maybe it’s not a real bear, nor is it an actual monkey, but “Bear Riding a Monkey” is as apt a description as any. What we have here is a video about a bear mascot in Japan riding a Honda Monkey. Why?

2022 Honda ADV350 First Look (from Afar)

Tue, 23 Nov 2021

We saw a bunch of Honda X-ADV scooters on our pass through Rome a few weeks ago, and felt jealousy. When American Honda invited us to ride a new minimoto last week, we hoped against hope… alas, it was the Navi. For the new year, we can be even more covetous, as Honda Europe now has an ADV350 that’s bigger, badder, and cooler.
