1977 CB550 - $8500

C'mon, you know you want a very unfinished project of the baby brother of the CB750. It's really shiny!

I've seen worse but I think he's on crack. Plate mounting is obviously no good, straight pipe makes it a miserable ride and ticket magnet (assuming you could ride it with the stupid low handlebars).
 
I was willing to assume those were repros

200 km in 15 years? Poor bike. Why all the extras (suspension, shocks, tuning, etc) if not going to ride it (or even riding it enough to have an opinion on the stock parts).

It's a "forum" build. Everyone on the forum runs and/or recommends these parts.

The whole thing started with the stock bking aesthetics. The bikes stock look has been known to make horses bolt and strong men cry then it was well I'm already shopping for parts so...

You weren't a fan of mufflers that would be at home on a Class 8 truck?

The bike was originally $14K back in 2008.
Asking price is $1500 under that? ummmmm…..

Sure, lots of extra farkles have been added… it’s not likely you’ll get the money you paid for those back very easily. Might be better to remove some of them and see if you can sell them separately.

Yea i get it that there is more money in pulling and swapping but i would rather pass it on to to someone that would use it and enjoy it as is.
Life got in the way of me using it the way i should have and hoping the next owner will give it some WOT time like it deserves.
