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.

2015 Honda CB300F Heading To Canada in White with ABS

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

When American Honda officially announced the new 2015 CB300F this morning, it didn’t take long to realize the naked version of the CBR300R would not be offered with anti-lock brakes. The lack of ABS, even as an option, was one of the things that differentiated it from the CBR300R which offered it at a $500 premium. That’s not the case north of the border however, as Honda Canada confirmed it will offer the CB300F with ABS as standard equipment.

Nelson Hidden deep within an AMA Pro Racing press release touting the upcoming Daytona 200, it was revealed that FansChoice.tv will be the official home for live streaming coverage of AMA Pro Road Racing and AMA Pro Flat Track events in 2014. This news comes as the series has been quiet about TV coverage for this season.

Will the road-going RCV look like this?

Thu, 25 Oct 2012

Honda announced in a dry-as-you-like press release that a new bike was coming.  Not another motorcycle-cum-medical aid like the DN-01 or Integra, this is going to be a proper bike. A bike in a similar vein to previous bikes in the RC series, the RC30, RC45 and RC51, aimed squarely at winning races. So what's it going to look like?
