1978 Honda CB550k Cafe Racer Phoenix AZ

This is a 16 year project for me that started in New York, then to Austin and now Dallas. Painfully I have to sell it because I'm moving overseas and it is too expensive to take it with me, so it needs a new home. It's been garage kept all along, I have babied it and put a ton of work and money into it and now someone new just need to ride it, doctor's orders! From 1975 to 1977, a second version of the CB550 was offered, the CB550F "Super Sport".[1] The CB550K and CB550F were sold alongside each other, sharing a similar engine, instruments, lights, wheels, brakes, and frame. The CB550F has a lighter four-into-one exhaust, slightly flatter handlebars, and a different fuel tank without chrome trim. The CB550F is part of the Honda Super Sport range, along with the CB400F, an CB750F. The F (aka F1) was succeeded by the F2, which had an additional flash decal on the fuel tank and deletion of the fork gaiters. Both CB550F and CB550K models had a drum rear brake and a single front disc brake, although each fork slider had a bracket for a brake caliper. The CB550K went through some minor iterations, the last being the CB550K4. Closely derived from the earlier CB500, the CB550's engine was the largest factory boring of this cylinder block; and when the CB550 was replaced in 1979 by the broadly similar Honda CB650, a completely new engine design was necessary.
