Re: 71' CB500 monoshock with no name...Fenders finished
Thanks! Some "old" guys were looking at it this morning when I stopped for gas. They said some nice things and I asked if they had bikes and he points to a trailer behind his truck. All original CB750 chop from the 70's I wish I would have remembered some of the names of people that had worked on it...dang. Something about vader rims or similar? They were pretty cool 10 spoke in the front and 5 in the rear. Front end was round girder with disc brake, and rear swingarm was chrome and rear also had disc conversion. And next to that was a nice Triumph. They were headed to a swap meet down south of us. Nice guys!
On a side note: Either the headlight has too much draw, or I am not charging properly..or both. I ran it 2 days without any problems. Went to kick it over to leave the gas station and had to shutoff the headlight and kick 10 times....I normally need 1 kick to start, even from sitting a few days. So it's really time to sort that out. Ugh. Just got the news my car will be at the shop another week...so I REALLY need to get it figured out now! haha
Bike had these mags, but was a CB750 engine. Kicking myself for not taking a picture! Thought I would throw in the second pic with the girl to have a period correct chop pic too
