1978 Honda CB550K, a project bike, but also with a little work could be ridden. The front brakes slightly sticking, right hand front fork leaking ( I have new seals) and the rear shocks though functioning could do with a little work. I bought this bike 25+ years ago and has been in my garage ever since, apart from in 2022 when I cleaned it up fit new jets in the carbs, fitted new seals in the front brakes and got it registered as Historic, so is MOT and Tax exempt, mostly original. I did less than 50 miles after that. The person I bought it off, said the engine had a rebuild in 1998 and he had not touched it since I bought it. The carbs we bunged up when I bought it, but have been cleaned with new Jets etc. an attempt of balancing the carbs has been carried out.The engine sound mint and has a beautiful sound from its 4 into one exhaust.
The rear mudguard is half fibreglassed under the seat and nothing on the bike has been re-chromed, just highly polished and 'deeply scratched' as my dad used to say.
