    copper or brass plating or power coating

    Thanks for the tip! I haven't filled them with anything. That's part of the reason I wondered about custom emblems. I have the originals, but not exactly in great shape.

    copper or brass plating or power coating

    Newb here, I just stripped my '75 Honda CB 500t tank. I wanted to go with a copper or brass plating or power coat. Does anyone know the approx. price of each or benefits? Any help would be great. On a side note, I was thinking about getting some personal emblems, anyone know of a place? Thanks

    Conflicted in Illinois

    Thanks! The tires are in bad shape, so that's a must. It runs, still haven't worked out the bugs. Any suggestions on Master cylinder? I found the rebuild kit, but I'm not sure it's worth it.

    I bought a 1975 CB500T, completely stock. I don't know whether to keep it vintage or update it. The side panels (awesome), but cracked. Anyone that has one, probably knows they are a tank in weight and I'm willing to shed any weight.. Should I keep them? The only thing I'm partial too is...
