I have a 76 CB550, no title no run, that came with the 75 550 I've been running around on for the last year.  The PO states he bought it from ebay with no title as a parts source.  It looks like my baby, the running 550 might be going, because I can't afford to keep it and upgrade to a 750 that is available locally. 

With the 550 going, I don't have any justificaiton for hanging on to the parts bike.  I was actually already thinking about passing it on.  I don't imagine that a parts bike is quite a goldmine but I'd like to get some money out of it to put towards the 750 and a new helmet.  If I end up parting it myself I'll probably throw a few parts up in the free with donation to the site thread.

So, what's a range of prices to ask for?  What are the parts that people will definetly need?  What do I do when I get down to the frame and no one wants an untitled one?  The pipes are rusted through, the engine will turn.



Don't have a great pic but here is one I got with the bike, it's in the same condition and has a tank to go with it.
