Icon7 1975 Honda CB550 cafe project in process (SUPER CLEAN, SEE PICTURES)

So I'm selling my 1975 Honda CB550 cafe project. This was going to be my show cafe bike, now for sale. I have way too many projects going on right now so I decided to sell this one. I have invested a ton of money in this. My loss is your gain. And again, this is a project in process. NOT a basket case. It has almost everything you need to get this bike on the road. If you are thinking of building a cafe. This is an awesome deal. All the hard work is done witch is the tear down, cleaning, stripping, sand blasting powdercoated, chrome, polish. I am going to be very firm on this price as I have double invested in it.

CB550 frame powdercoated with the rear pegs chopped off
CB550 tank with knee mod. (looks good with a perfect shape. Both sides even)
Custom fiberglass seat/tail (extra thick. Will hold a lot of weight)
Front suspension already rebuilt
Chrome rear swing arm
Polished and chromed front suspension
Custom seat/tail bracket (to hold it up a little higher so it looks flush with the tank)
Chrome EVERYTHING. (everything that is steal that can be chromed is chromed. Fenders, brake rods, peg brackets, kick start, shifters, brake pedal, ect... everything)
Polish EVERYTHING. (everything that can be polished is polished. Including wheel hubs, brakes, brake rods, tripple clamps, everything ect...)
Brand new head set bearings. (modern bearings for the head stock)
Brand new cafe bars
New chrome headlight brackets.
Brand new wheels set complete already built built, tires mounted and ballanced. I payed over $1100 dollors for the wheel set alone. (Polished hubs/brakes, brand new chrome spokes front and back, rechromed rims, mounted and ballanced, Brand new Dunlop tires with the stickers still on them.)
The back tire is one size bigger to have a little wider look.
Motor. (extra clean not in pictures, but its super clean and in working condition)
Carb set. (extra clean not in pictures)
Fenders rechromed
New bushings

These bikes are not too hard to put together. All you need is a $20 Clymers manual.

Price is $2200 firm

I made a seat/tail bracket so the seat/tail will line up with the tank.




You can see the rim and hubs in the background. The rims are already laced with brand new chrome spokes with tires and inner tubes mounted and ballanced. Complete wheel set alone costed me $1100 total.








Super rare air and oil front suspension valves.


Frame was sand blasted before powdercoated gold.


Here is the picture of the mock up before I tore it down. You can get an idea of the stance when it is complete.

Is the seat and tank custom? BCR has some nice setups.
