1977 Honda CB550

I bought this bike last year with the intention to turn it into a Brat/cafe racer and then learn to ride. However after doing most of the work, i have since moved house and no longer have time to work on it to complete it.

The bike was fully stripped down and everything has been refurbished:

The frame was modified using an upswept rear loop, shot blasted and powder coated in satin black, all new bearings were fitted to the frame.

The forks have been rebuilt with new seals a fork oil replaced. The original handlebars have been replaced with black clip ons.

The tank was shot blasted and painted in gloss grey by a professional paint shop (along with the headlamp shell)

The wheels were shot blasted, spokes removed, rebuilt with new spokes and powder coated satin black. All bearings have been replaced with all balls racing bearings. New Metzeller tyres were fitted with new inner tubes and rim tape

The front wheel has been fitted with dual discs

The engine was fully stripped down, all bearings and seals replaced and then painted in engine enamel, all casings were powder coated.

The original wiring loom was replaced with a custom made wiring loom to suit an M-unit (m unit not included in listing.) New ignition coils were bought and fitted to the frame

I made a custom tail light to suit an led stop/tail light.

The carbs are a set from a 1972 bike as i believe these run/work better than the original '77 PD carbs. They have been stripped down and powder coated in satin black and rebuilt with new o-rings (one carb has not been coated due to me using this as a guide for the other 3, but i can have this coated if the buyer wishes)

To complete the bike will need the carbs fitting, an m unit purchasing and fitting an exhaust purchasing and the front brakes refurbing and installing

I have some spares to go with the bike, front brake caliper, original wiring loom, fuse box, spare front hub and axles, original handlebars and various other spares.

Collection from Birmingham, UK

Looking for £1500
