Came across an ad for cb550 sale. Pay attention to carbs in the photo.

I could use a dent-free tank like that.

Can550 are those the handlebars you need ?

Frame vin shows it’s a 500 not a 550.

Well spotted
Yes I need handlebars and thought if he sells tank and bars I’ll buy. But apparently he considers his bike complete and rare thus would not sell any part off !

His choice, his bike

I may buy one reproduction from 4 into 1

I guess he found a short cut to float height level or perhaps bowls were leaking :)
