As some of you know I have been working on a CB500 recently.
I had thought i wanted a cafe styled 500. Then, i realized 1 my back gets tired. 2 I am lazy, and 3 everyone's got a cafe.
So, i figured I would build kind of whatever happened.
It's probably going to be a street tracker style, but not exactly. The high swept exhaust would be hard to come by...
Anyway, i paid 100 bucks for it, 9k on the clock. 1973.
Here's the latest picture i have with me.
interesting aspects:
Brembo Radial Master Cylinder and front 4 piston calipers
1978 CB550 SS Tank
Fat bars (dirt bike 1 1/8")
Having just had a new born, i've been picking away at it slowly. I hope to at least have it running this year. We'll see.
