He either has a sense of humour, or legitimately does not know any better. ;)

Catch phrase that runs the price up 500-600 dollars is what it is.

What's this guy thinking?  Everybody knows what you have to do is slap some clubmans on the bike, and voila!  Instant cafe! ;) ;D ;D

Damn.  The front fender is one of the things I love most about the CBs.  No offense meant to anyone who has chopped theirs, but I think the full front fender looks best.  Such a nice fender to begin with... shame to cut it.  These fenders will eventually become scarce.

Anyway, nice looking bike, but I would negotiate a lower price because there's no fender.

And I agree that it's a front fender shy from being stock... not exactly a cafe racer....
