Honda CB description

This is a Honda CB550 converted to cafe racer. It has a clear CT title. I purchased it in good running condition but it needed a battery. Since then I have relocated the electrics and purchased a sealed upgraded battery also mounted in the seat. The frame has a fresh powdercoat black on it. The tank is a genuine metal 1960s Ducati although the petcock leaks and needs repair or replacing. The tank lid looks like a NOS ESSO with italian letters. It has original Honda mag wheels and new Metzeler tires. The metal seat is painted to match the tank but there are a couple chips, they probably can be fixed. All lights and electronics worked when I got it. I just relocated the electrics and wiring. It still needs some wiring, mostly soldering. I am busy and haven't had the time. There are a couple small bits of cylinder head cooling fin that were damaged although I still have them and they are repairable. It is a great looking bike but I don't have the time. I will include all items that came the bike when I purchased it. This is for local pickup or buyer arranges shipping.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has now released documents from American Honda’s recall of ABS-equipped CTX700 and CTX700N that shed some more light into the issue.
