A really nice looking bike, but not at all as it came out of box from factory...What else, Ed?

As long as we're tearin' 'em up, check this one out: http://www.sportscargallery.com/1968%20Honda%20CB77.htm ...only $6,900...

Fork lowers should be aluminum and the chrome taillight bracket is an upgrade. Also looks like the engine side cases match the color of the air cleaner cases. Looks like the ebayers love it!!!

Wow. Since nobody else seems to want to play, here's a few anomolies I spotted: Most glaring: when they changed out to incorrect low bars, they kept high bar cables, leading to "interesting" cable routing. Chain guard and buddy pegs wrong colors. Not sure but mirrors don't look right to me. Something not right about seat. Not familiar with one-piece mufflers, but these don't look quite right. Chrome spokes? Obviously has no battery or tailight would be on. Advertised as “show ready.” For this price it should be "museum ready." A nice bike, but imho it's neither as it stands. Anybody else? --Lee

Crappy AM exhausts; front tyre looks too big; Lee is right about the mirrors; fork lower legs look like type-I that have been painted silver!

I'd say the taillight bracket is correct, colour-wise.

EDIT: the red one above, not the black one on eBay; which, incidentally, appeared to have very early and incorrect exhaust systems not belonging to a '67.......

I'm not editing again! The black eBay "resto" (arf, arf!) looks like it has 2-piece (incorrect?) exhausts with the wrong 'sock-type' '61-model sealing sleeves. HTF did he manage that?! I s'pose they will fit, under duress?

The whole bike looks very nice, but it made a lot of dosh for a machine that ain't correct! To each his own; any item is worth what someone is prepared to pay for it!
