I can only dream about owning a CB again! She is a beauty!

Do you ship to Europe 😏😎

[@retro_grade]

Thanks @nick124! I actually sold her on Bring a Trailer awhile back!

Currently I don't have a way figured out, but I did ship a bike to Iceland several years ago (Cb77 Superhawk). However, the buyer contacted me and lined all of it up so I didn't have to do much. If you can find a port to ship it to and figure all of the exporting and such out, I do ship across the United States when I sell something on Bring a Trailer :)

@@retro_grade thanks mate for the feedback. Is it often that you are doing work on CB 100's? Or was this a one-off?

Just inherited a 70 cb100... in desperate need of some routine maintenance and pre/post ride inspection videos. Any of that content would be MUCH appreciated.

Richard, I'm not sure if we'll get to that stuff with this particular one, as it's going up for sale/auction in about a month. It's been a real balance between doing 'actual work' on stuff and getting video content. I've been squeezed to get a few things done (including listing this bike for sale) and any time that camera is on, it slows things down alot. With that being said, the big ticket maintanance items you should do on one of these are: 1. Inspect/clean fuel system (carburetor, new petcock seal, new fuel hose, tank clean, etc) 2. Battery, air filter, engine oil change 3. Clean the centrifigul oil filter. 4. Valve clearance check and adjustment 5. Ignition Points Gap and Timing (Replace Points if they are pitted or worn out) 6. Cam Chain Adjustment These things along with other basic motorcycle maintanance and routine checks (drive chain, tires, etc) should keep that CB up and running. Find yourself an original Honda service manual for the CB100 on Ebay used for around $25. They are actually VERY good in my opinion at clearly laying out the procedure with pictures showing how to do all of the above. Heck, I even think the owner's manual tells how to most if not all of those as well! -Brock
