Everybody should look at this one.

A $hitload of work in this one.

I just read about that bike in the VJMC magazine. He put a lot of work and $$$$$$$$$$$$$ into it.

And it's only about an hour from my house. Who am I fooling, I don't have that kind of disposable $$$. It looks like it could be worth the price. I don't know. Any comments on value?

The problem I see is that he did an awesome job, but it is still a 40+ year old bike with 40+ year old parts. The bike is no longer original (which is big money to collectors). I've seen bikes fully restored for less money. We all know all to well that the money you put into these bikes does not equal profit at sales time.
And lets be real, as much as we love our CB's there are a lot of them out there, these bikes aren't as rare or collectable as an old Norton Blackshadow, or Crockett, or even an old BSA.
Nice bike, cool what he did, I just don't see the money in it.

I think Truck nailed it. And not to be rude, because that's one fine looking bike, but it's a bastard bike.

Some of the things are polished that should be painted, so the true collectors won't be interested in that. It's a really nicely put together bike built out of mostly good parts. But like Truck said, old parts are old, even if they've never been put in to service before.

The dude poured his heart and his wallet in to that bike, and I'm afraid he's in for a disappointing wake up call.

You can't call that bike restored any more than if it had mag wheels and aftermarket pipes on it. It's just a really, really, really pretty bike.

I'm wondering about how much $$ he will actually get, and how soon. Oh well, and good luck to seller.
