I’m back after 6 years. Medical school and a divorce kicked my ass but my cb500t is back on the chopping block. I was cruising craigslist yesterday and found a 2000 GSXR complete front end minus clip ons for $50. I didn’t ask questions. I just drove over to the guys place, asked if it was...

Found this in the trunk of a 1963 volvo in my local junkyard. Just sitting there minding its own business. God knows how long it sat in there. Snagged it for $5, brought it home and figured I would try and mount it on my bike but I cant figure out how to best mount it. Any ideas? A quick...

I hate to look like the gun nut American here but someone has to do it :-X I was bored lastnight and was staring at a old $30 p90 airsoft gun I had from when I was in HS. Well it occured to me that I had just recieved a coupon for $20 off of a Marlin 795 .22 rifle from Cabelas in the mail and...

My 500 twin is basically the very first old bike I have ever attempted to work on. I bought her in a box with a frame seperate and through trial and error have managed to make her a completely ridable bike. I was able to get the tune up measurements all in spec but just was looking for someone...

Since I had a huge dent in one of my air boxes I had it in the back of my mind that I wanted to either find a new metal cover or put number plates on the bike in replace of the metal side covers. Being lazy and cheap I knew if I waited long enough I would find some pre-cut piece of circular...

I have been working on one for over two years now on and off and had several questions which I have been looking for someone knowledgeable enough to ask. Any help you can lend would be great! -Running mufflers with very little back pressure and the stock airboxes I get a stumble on decel from...

Just thought I would make a thread to update while I got out my old bike after a brief break from the scene. My 76 CB500t. -450 Pipes w/shorties -Harley sportster pan -Halogen lamp -Harley lamp visor -Internally wired clubmans -List goes on and on

And it feels good! Some of you may remember be for my 500T under tail setup that pissed off a bunch of people :P Its been two years, first a car accident left me with two broken wrists then medical school consumed my life for the last year. Im back home for the summer and yesterday I blew a...

So I bought this ebay Fiber galss seat thinking it would fit my CB500. I was wrong, it isnt wide enough. I has a 2 inch tail light mounted on it and has been painted flat black. It has two holes already drilled in it so it will bolt right up to any CB350 or smaller. This is the same seat on...

Can I request a quick vid on the basics of setting the timing and valve clearnace? Between the Clymer and the vid Im sure anyone could do these basic up-keep procedures.

Just curious if this would effect the engine performance or torque in any way? I have heard some speculation but nothing concrete.

I've been reading around and alot of road race guys use Auto coils on their Honda CB's. They just use 5 ohm coils. I was wondering if anyone here has done this and if there is anything special about the wiring procedure. I would rather upgrade to simple car coils that will give me a nicer fat...

Anyone? Edit: I couldnt wait. Im 99% sure they do fit. I snatched these up. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350120339815 $44 shipped. With mufflers, which is all I really wanted :)

I saw the bike outside for a few days with a for sale sign on it. Hes such a cheap skate I figured he wanted too much money. Some kid came today to pick it up and I asked him how much he bought it for. $200 because the lights didnt work. Turned out to be a fuse ::) I would have walked over to...

Dont really need the mufflers seeing as they will be cut off and replaced anyway. Thanks guys!

1. The Adjustment screw? 2. The vaccum port? Thanks guys!

Bike starts up, carbs burp at idle, then she dies. Thoughts? Carb sync? Timing?

Just asking, I need to do it bad but cant seem to find where I hook my hoses and what screw I turn to make the adjustments. Thanks!

Where can I get them. Im too scared im doing something wrong. ;D

The ashy plugs cylinder is super hot while the wet plugs cylinder is warm. Also, after putting the factory air boxes on she refuses to idle unless I take off the airbox covers and let them breathe. Im thinking a good carb sync should solve my problems. Sound about right? Anyone know the proper...
