1967 Honda Cl on 2040-motos

Offered for sale is my 1967 Honda CL 77.  This is a very nice example as you can see from the pictures.  Here are the particulars:

A previous owner freshened up this bike at some point in the not-to-distant past.  At that time a new speedometer was fitted, and now shows about 950 miles.  The old speedo showed about 12,300 miles at the time that it was replaced.  Obviously, there is no way to know if that was actual, although from the condition of the bike, it is possible.   The tank and side covers were repainted in the original silver and are in excellent condition, probably nicer than when the bike was new.  The frame is original black paint and is in nice condition but does show some wear.  The fenders are original chrome and although they show some age, they are still quite nice, as you can see from the pics.  The chrome rims are in excellent condition.  I am assuming that the seat was redone as it is in excellent condition, and it has the original style clear-silver beading.  The tires were probably replaced at that same time and are still in excellent condition showing very little wear.  The bike appears to be mostly original with just the updates mentioned.   The exhaust pipes, muffler and heat shields are all in excellent shape, showing just a little age.  The original skid plate is still present, and is in good condition.  The original steering damper is still present.  

Mechanically the bike is in great condition.  It starts easily  and runs well and pulls strong.  It idles well after a brief warmup.  I checked the compression once and got 150 psi on one cylinder, and 147 psi on the other.   The clutch and all gears work as they should.  I feel that the beauty of this machine is that the motor has never been disassembled and because of this, retains all the qualities of a stock Honda motorcycle, i.e. dependable, leak free, and easy to maintain.

The headlight works (high and low beam), as does the tail light and brake light.    The horn works.  Battery is four months old.   Checked the charging system and it is working.   I have had both front and rear brakes apart for inspection, and both drums and shoes are in good shape.  All cables are in good shape.  The carburetors are rebuilt and work as new.

The front fender has been trimmed back to the bracket.  As you can see from the pics, this is not obvious and really doesn’t detract from the appearance of the bike.  Also, the bracket that attaches the muffler to the frame at the back appears to have been broken and repaired.  There are spare parts which are included in the auction.  They can be viewed in one of the pictures.  

Overall this is a great looking and great running bike.  If you need a picture of anything specific, let me know and I will try to take a picture and email it.  Please email any questions—I will do my best to answer.  

Everything works well but remember that it is almost 50 years old, thus no warranty.  It runs, starts and rides perfectly, the silver paint is flawless and there are no problems that will need addressed before the bike can be pressed into service as a daily rider.  It burns no oil, has no leaks and sounds tight.  $300 Pay Pal deposit required at end of auction, Balance to be paid by bank wire transfer within 7 days of auction end.  Cash in person is accepted, of course.  Bike is located in Tucson AZ; buyer responsible for shipping or pick up.
