Is this safe?

Regarding front suspension... The only after market springs I can find online are for 550 and 750 forks, and I’d prefer to keep my stock fork for now.

I heard you can stack some washers on top of the springs inside the forks to stiffen them up.

Anyone tried that before?

Cb550 springs will work in 500t forks.

Stacking washers will adjust sag, but not spring rate. Shortening springs and adding the same length spacer as the length of spring removed will stiffen them

Not sure that a cheap brat style seat is an improvement on the looks of that thing, but back in the day no one loved a CB500T. They were just butt ugly bikes. So maybe it's an improvement in looks if you like that sort of thing.

I quite love the 500t and 450t engine looks... would love to own one
