Thinking about this CB550
« on: June 10, 2014, 04:08:15 AM »
Cheap CB550 no title he's asking $300.   I don't have a ton of space in the garage but????  If I can get it for $200 that may change my mind

$300? Does it have a title? Regardless I'd scoop that up.

Buy it. If you can't get a title there's more than $300 worth in parts there, even better if you get it for $200.

Is that a KO 750 seat? Doesn't look like any 550 seat. That might bring a pretty penny if it is.

Yep, I am going to buy but...... I call the guy and he's leaving tomorrow on business till late Sunday evening.  So we're meeting up Monday or Tuesday next week.  The bike not going anywhere so that's good ( not on CL).  Stev-o, you are right I've gotten titles in Michigan not a huge issue and when it under $2,600 in value.  The problem I had last time is the people at the SOS our DMV are not the smartest and it took 3 trips to get it right.  One of the thing was the vin is less number than modern ones and they made me have the police come to my house to verify the vin.  You can also get a security bond for double the blue book to gain a title.  The bond are not as expensive as you would think. 

This one is right by my house, not really interest but for the price......it's got me thinking!

I sold this CJ360 last week and a CB350 a few weeks ago.  So I've gained a some room.

I notice that too. Not sure if its a KO 750 but not a 550 from 77 or 78 which is what its claimed to be

The buckle is wrong for the passenger strap for a Ducktail. I should be square unless it was changed.
