I dunno for that kind of cash I would expect OEM exhaust or knock a $1000 off for the price of one.

Prices seem to be on the way up. It's a bit pricey but the low mileage will attract buyers.

It will not sell for that price.    Still, I'd love to have it.

How much does ebay hit you for when you list something that doesn't sell ?

Most CB's do not sell for what the owners set for a reserve on ebay.   Some do - most don't.

Remember when people were leaving these bikes on the curb for bulk pickup? Now it seems everyone wants an arm and a leg.... Nice bike, if its all original its worth it.

For that price why wouldn't he just replace the pitted fender??

The Buy it Now price is $6,500. Looks like a 16" rear wheel, take another thou off. OWner must not know what's original.

I have seen this bike on eBay before. It does look very nice and prices are a rising on these. The older they get seems the more people want them. It would not surprise me if someone buys it for the Buy It Now.

 Too much money has to be invested to get it stock/original to get that price  but you're probably right, someone who wants to get in on the CB craze will buy it...Larry

Those cables don't look stock, too long. Still I agree it could likely bring that, or something close.

Ignition switch is not mounted stock either. Is it? Should be under tank?

Correct MC switch should be under the tank. I agree he would stand a better chance at getting that price with the HM341's on there. Maybe even a better chance if he would spring for the HM300's.

I agree!
This bike is for sale locally. I know the guy and he has been over to the house a couple of times. I gave him the luggage rack thats on it. The motors top end has been rebuilt and the thing runs great and the paint looks good. The bike is nice but $4800 without the HM300's?

That does look like a smaller rear wheel than stock, and I wouldn't pay that without the original exhaust. I think he's $1,500 - $2,000 high on his buy it now price.
