I have completely rebuilt this 1976 Honda, stripped it down to the frame. It is amazingly clean, runs fantastic and turns heads whenever it goes out. -every bolt, and surface has been hand polished -new gaskets -new seals -new tires -new spokes -new points -new chains, (driving and timing) -Carb rebuild (it was a couple years ago so hard to remember everything, if there is anything else that could have been replaced I did it) -bought an engine with only 7k original miles on it and swapped it out -had a friend who does custom hot rods paint it for me. (amazing paint, seriously!!!) -I have never run it in the rain and only run non-ethonol or super in it. -You really have to see this bike to appreciate it Cash only -Since the rebuild 4 years ago I have put less than 100 miles on it, it just sits in the garage under the cover and never gets ridden. I have two small kids now and it will probably get ridden even less. Thats not right this bike needs to see the pavement, someone give it a good home.
