This would be fun. Have to wonder what it will fetch. Any guesses?

Since the rear wheel has been changed to a 16" I really doubt that the listing information is correct. Might bring $200.00 to $300.00

So that's the incorrect rear wheel size for a 1975?

Well since you can usually pick one up for less than $1000 and a motor costs $400+ Tools is about right.
The were making a big deal about the frame only having 1 mile on it, but that really doesn't matter, still a 40 y/o bike. Wires have degraded, connections as well.
It's only illegal if you get caught.

If at first you don't succeed, use more lighter fluid

95% of Harley Davidsons ever made are still on the road... The other 5% made it home.

Yes, that is the wrong wheel. The "K" model CBs had 18" wheels until 77 when they went to 17".

Well, since everything else is in perfect shape, I could see it going for more than 300. Hell, a pristine tank can easily go for 300 alone. I'm going to go with 600+ on this. Maybe it is just my area being price inflated for bikes, but even ebay searches for good parts will probably back me up.

On a side note, I never realized how ugly a 16 inch rim looks on these bikes. Maybe not so much the rim, but the amount of tire flab.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!

It's not at the top of page to the right? Well any way.........$5,000.
I just figured out that you have to be logged into Meacum auction with an email address to see results. But  $5k for that? Really?
