Here we have my immaculate CB550cc Cafe Racer for sale, I built this bike 5 years ago & have had many Sunday morning rides through the Anglesey lanes & Classic Sprint Raced it at Anglesey Circuit Aintree & The Thundersprint.
It started life as a standard CB550 Honda, I totally stripped it followed by de-lugging the frame & having rear set & seat mount professionally welded on. It was then powder coated & new swinging arm bushes fitted. The front forks were rebuilt with a custom made aircraft alloy top yoke with Honda logo. Twin vented discs were fitted along with brand new brake callipers. All brake lines replaced with new stainless steel braided lines & the addition of a 750 Kawasaki master cylinder gives the bike excellent stopping power on the road or track.
The wheels had the hubs vapour blasted & professionally rebuilt with stainless steel spokes & new period race alloy rims, completed with new TT100 tyres to keep the right look. Holtworks built a superb alloy replica race tank with Monza filler, & I had a race style bum stop seat made. During assembly all bolts throughout the bike were replaced with new stainless steel nuts & bolts.
The rear sets were custom made with Harris replica foot pegs turned in stainless steel. The engine had a top end refresh – electronic ignition fitted & bead blasted polished or painted. A brand new wiring loom was manufactured & a new gel battery fitted. The carbs have been rebuilt & balanced & the exhaust has a custom made silencer. The bike has no lights fitted & I have run it for 5 years on the road with a daylight mot. It starts & runs very nicely & is a pleasure to ride race or parade. New sprockets & chain were fitted during the build & new pattern shock absorbers.
A very pretty bike that always gets admired whenever I am out & about or at race meetings, it won best prepared bike at the Aintree Sprint out of 200 entries.
For sale at less than the build costs very close offers will be considered, if you want to make a sensible offer please call or text me as I don’t always have email access to see or respond. You would need to collect with a van or arrange a courier to collect once funds are cleared. Payment by cash or bank transfer only, the bike is advertised elsewhere so will be withdrawn if sold.
