$2800. PM or post here if interested. Can meet part way if buyer is serious(puts money down and pays gas to and fro :) )

I'd say this is a very reasonably priced bike considering what it costs to get them into this shape. This bike runs very very well and has been witnessed by multiple members on this forum. It leaks a bit out of the shifter seal, pull it and push a new one in. Outside of that it's minor cosmetic blemishes. Overall the bike is truly in great shape for it's age. It does fit 2up if you are skinny and your lady is as well. A bit tight but it does work.

Thanks Rich, it's such a fun bike to ride and I will miss it a lot but I am soooo excited about the next project that I am willing to let this one go. 4 bikes in the garage is too many haha. Well, it'll still be 4, just one out and one in :P

Engine is built, too, isn't it? 604?
 
Re: FS:CB550 78k Brat/cafe

I've been told it's a 605cc henry abe kit however, I can't confirm and would rather not claim it as such. The engine has for sure been rebuilt without a doubt, I just can't confirm 100% that is a 605, and without any reason other than wanting to know if it was I saw no reason in pulling a perfectly good running engine apart just to measure something haha. I should also note that the pesky/hard to tune PD carbs have been swapped out with the much more forgiving 022a carbs :)
