Really?, it doesn't even start all the time and he still wants $1500 for it?
I must live on the wrong end of the food chain.

Too many digits.

^^^Especially for the flat-blacked-out everything including the chrome fenders, nuts and bolts, not to mention the nice dent in the tank... oh, and it doesn't always run too. Ugh

for "posterity" (read: for laughs later after the ad is gone)

Maybe you get to add value for the missing headlight and crap exhaust system.

Holy cow!
That’s the limited production
CM Nighthawk 450 Exclusive…
only $1500? What a steal.

(That’s really a lot of black. Looks like there may be throttle cable issues.)

Actually, that picture shows the throttle cable routing I was trying to describe to you that Jim used with his lower bars, it's the perfect solution for the extra length. Loop forward out around the right fork tube and in under the headlight to take up the extra length. I did that on 2 of my CB750s with 400F bars.

I stand corrected. I found Jim’s photo after you mentioned this last time; I understand the routing now, thanks, Tom. The CM Nighthawk cables didn’t look like the the same loop as Jim’s, although the same location. Who knows, maybe just photo angle, etc.
