Get ready to turn heads when you ride this bike around: she's a beaut. Collector's bike with a few features that were exclusive to that year, including the original squared exhaust and the single reflector on the front fender.This bike was found disassembled in a garage a few years back, with original parts were in boxes. It was restored by a small local shop that specializes in vintage Honda bikes, where I bought it 2 years ago. It was a complete rebuild with the original parts, with the following work completed:-Frame sanded and repainted-New fork seals and dampening oil-Both carburetors taken apart, thoroughly cleaned, rebuilt with all new kits and properly tuned-Engine valve clearances set to correct factory spec, the ignition point surfaces sanded and cleaned with the ignition timing adjusted-Wheel spokes trued -New Shinko 712 series tires-New drive chain-New factory repro grips-New throttle, clutch and brake cables-New brake lever, clutch lever and cable adjusters-New petcock, fuel lines and fuel filter-Serviced all wiring, cleaned/ inspected all the connections-Tank cleaned out, old liner removed (was chipping off), then new liner added-New oil filter, spark plugs and plug bootsIn May 2016, I just dropped a new battery in and tuned up the bike, including cleaning the carbs and adjusting the points. Starts and idles good, and runs great out on the road. The charging system, all switches, lights and indicators are fully functional.Things to know (because there are always things to know about an old bike):- The original odometer/speedo had to be replaced and the original mileage is unknown. I bought a CL350 odometer/speedo separately that I can provide with the bike if you want it. I just decided to leave them off because I liked the look of the bike without them, but it's fairly easy to mount them on the bike again. Mileage-wise, this bike has less than 300 miles on it since the restoration -- only used it for a short commute to/from work occasionally.- Seat and the handlebars are not original, went for a more cafe look with the lower handlebars -Chrome shines up great, but there are some rust freckles when you look closely (it's the original 45 yr old chrome)-Tank has some scratches (on top of the tank, see photos -- not from being dropped, just paint flaws)- Headlight trim has a scuff on it, was there before I owned it (see photos) Walkaround video is here: s:// /watch?v=JqU-pQXskG8
