Hey guys,
I purchased a CB500 parts bike with a titled frame to use in lieu of my non-titled 450 frame. I know the engines will fit so thats no problemo but I'm considering building a 450 race engine out of the 500 engine (it's completely torn to pieces and in a box so most of the hard work is done for me :lol: The cylinder is pitted really bad though and oversized pistons are tough to come by. So my question is; can I buy a 450 cylinder off ebay and will it match right up or are there other differences? I'm missing the crankshaft/rods as well so those will also have to be replaced; probably will lightened units.
Thanks fellas!
