I finished my resto
Well I finished my CA77, so it looks like I have to make good on selling my CA95. Know of anyone looking for a black 1965?

Nice Japanese Maple behind the bike but you must have a screw loose if you are selling the black one, that is one of the nicest Benly restos I've seen.

Both bikes are gorgeous. For me, it would be hard to part with either one, since each one has its own personality. Any way to hold on to the CA95?

Very nice. Hoping the resto of mine pops like yours. Keep them both. I've never forgiven myself for selling a Harley Bobcat that I restored a few years back

The benly isn't restored, it is original except for the added blinkers and bags, tires, oh and plastic side covers. I do have metal ones but they haven't been painted to match. The paint was touched up on the forks of the black Benly when the P/O added the blinkers to the forks. There is also a gouge (split) in the front fender (small but there none the less) and a few other dings & scratches here and there. But hey its a rider!!! It has less than 5000 miles on her and yep thats original miles! But I wanted/needed one that goes faster than 50 mph, so I decided to do the CA77. Now I have to get rid of the Benly. Do you think asking 1500 for the Benly is too much?

Yeah, I've loved my CA95! Honestly, I just don't have the time or space to keep/maintain/ride two bikes. I have dirt bikes that I have to sell also. (all Honda of course!)

Thanks Chip! I have some Buco bags that are refinished, but I almost hate to put them on and cover up all my chrome lol. So in the mean time, I bought myself a messenger's bag, and will be using that until I can bring myself to install the bags.

On Ebay I might start bidding at $1500.00 for the bike. On Craigslist I would start out at $2200.00-ish. Not sure of your clime but I would wait until spring to sell it.

I just put it away for the winter, and I will pull it out in April and put it up for sell. I bought it for 1400, but paid 450 for shipping. Then when it got to me it smoked so I put in a new set of rings, and added saddle bags. Other than the P/O putting the rings in upside down and in the wrong order, the bike ran (and still runs) great. I think I should be able to get 1500 out of it. But who knows with this economy! I just want it to go to a good home where someone will appreciate the history and enjoy it.
