1981 Honda CB900C review from United States of America
"This motorcycle is what gives those expensive Harleys fits!"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Brakes were seized when I bought it, but I replaced front brake master cylinder and added brake fluid, bled and it worked! Still riding with only front brakes.
Front fork seals/dust covers replaced by my mechanic. Carbs rebuilt by mechanic, though needles stick and leaks gas at the carbs until run.
General comments?
Though this bike is 28 years old, it is quick, agile and really fun - total investment about $1,200.00 so far. New tires for next riding season.
