1976 Honda CB550 Cafe Racer

I just had a baby so I don’t get much of a chance to ride it anymore. This means the cafe racer needs a new home, preferably with someone who knows how to turn a wrench. The bike is ready to go. The last thing it needs is paint. The bike only has 8604 miles on it so the engine is rock solid. This is a great bike, try to find one with less miles. Come over and take a look at it.

For the last two years I’ve written about this bike here at austincaferacer.com.

Everything is in here, so if you want a more intimate perspective on this bike read through the blog.

Or if you just want to thumb through photos here is a link to a photo gallery: http://gallery.me.com/markgutierrez#100142

Seeing as how my new speedo has built in indicator lights I no longer require my original ones.

Every single one of the original bulbs works and lights up. The wires are all the original length. Will clean up nicely.
