Yeah, I get a little miffed when high priced "nice" CB's that aren't really done. Sure, some of those were petty, but others like the front brakes, the locking tabs, the grease zerks, the old cables... What does that say about the quality of the build? For that price, he DEFINITELY should've opened up the engine at LEAST to replace the primary chain (which can stretch enough to eat through the casing after 20K miles). While you're in there check out the shift forks to make sure the middle one isn't badly marred and replace the 40 yr old seals - especially the valve seals.
The gas filler neck looks like they tried, poorly, to continue the stripe pattern around the neck. The rear fender/seat is hand made fiberglass, and instead of properly rounding it out around the seat he just cut a few diagonal lines. Should've finished it properly.
My other bike is a 1973 Honda CB500. I've spent a LOT of my time on the Honda SOHC4 forums and learned a lot. Seeing all of the guys over there do such great work, guys like this who just want to pretty up a bike and make some cash kinda grind my gears. I've done a lot of work to her, but I won't be able to finish her until I'm out of the Army. Then I'll have the money, and maybe even the time.
To put things in a lighter mood: I'm not saying the stripes look bad, but polka dots look nice, too.
