1978 CB550 Honda Chopper Survivor - Restored New 10" over stainless fork tubes from Forking By Frank 1960's 7/8" bars NOS red sparkle grips New Throttle Addiction narrowed Wassell tank 1960's solo seat and p-pad Custom hex sissy bar with Prism Supply LED tail light and license plate bracket Custom 6-pack removable beer rack Dual 1970's square headlights Candy red finish with custom gold/orange pin-striping (The pin-striping was done by Bob Shaw who pin-stripes all of ZZ Top's custom pin-striped guitars) 1978 CB550 motor with 150 lbs compression across all 4 cylinders Polished engine covers and new engine hardware Cleaned, rebuilt and jetted pre-1977 CB550 carbs New wiring harness Dynatek coils Charlie's Place electronic ignition Rick's regulator/rectifier Antigravity 4-Cell battery Avon Speedster 19" front and 16" rear NOS extended cables New chain and sprockets Rebuilt oil pump New low end seals and gaskets Custom chrome tappet covers This bike is 100% reliable. Runs flawlessly and handles great. I rode around all summer with buds that are riding everything from Triumph 650's to Panheads, Shovels and new Sportsters. I stayed up with them no sweat and with the handling of this bike I can cook a lot of those heavy bikes on curvy roads. Does 75 mph no problem at about 6500 RPM with a 9000 RPM redline. You could ride this thing across the country if you want. The top end does leak a little oil but this is common on the 350four - 550four. There is a lot of oil pressure in the top end and there is a surface that is small in the front of the motor that tends to leak a little. Fortunately this does not affect the compression or how the bike runs at all. It's honestly just an annoyance that can be wiped off the side of the top end. This bike was built this summer for a show and ridden during the summer season in Idaho. This is an Idaho bike with a clean title and located in Los Angeles. Contact Brandon with any questions.

Fri, 02 Jul 2010WE CAN'T believe an aftershave worn by most of our grandfathers is still on sale, or that people actually buy it, but Old Spice has given a new twist to their popular TV ad by including a motorcycle in the promo.The commercial stars former American football player Isaiah Mustafa and ends with, what looks like, a 1970s Honda twin in a jacuzzi.It's all completely bizarre but clever.
