If you read the Q&A you will see it is not Factory and the seller knows as little about the bike as he does about spelling. This sale looks like a hand job to me.
Dedicated to Sgt. Howard Bruckner 1950 - 1969. KIA LONG KHANH.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?

I was amused that in the listing, he acts like he knows what he's talking about, but when confronted with the facts, his best response is "I don't ride Jap bikes!"

Can we please all innundate him with the stupidest questions we can think of?  It's fun to torment strangers! ;D

And with such a fine "selling" attitude, makes me want to part with my money! I think I will stay at home and deal with the jerks here. Less travel time.

Looks like it sort of melted in the sun and has started to slide back down the frame. :) Wouldn't look out of place on a fairground roundabout - I love the fair ;D

I dunno guys it's starting to grow on me, I think wiht a few changes it could be a rather nice bike.

First thing I would change is the fugly headlights.

Then a sabre saw to remove the starfish appendages, and a lowered reserve of $500 and I could have me a new bike..

Sweet!  He just responded through email to my first question. :)

Q:  Is that seat leather?  Because when I wear my butt-less chaps without jeans, vinyl tends to give me a rash. 

A:  only for the gay honda lovers

Response to second question sent from different ebay account:

Q:  Does this bike come with the stock mullet hair cut and cut-off jeans, or was that only on the later 70's models? 

A:  that's what you get when you ride honda's
