Re: Yes another CB500 Project. BACK FROM THE DEAD Finally got the engine and braking buttoned up. ;D It took since Feb. to get it all assembled but here it is. The List: 555cc overbore for 500cc. Ported and polished head. Drilled exhaust. Jetted Carbs. Dual Disc front end conversion...

Yes, have someone else do it. :D Seriously, the pictures don't show the tiger striping and the little imperfections that are in the paint. For the cost I would still would've had it done professionally. I just couldn't afford it. There was an article by a gentleman about painting his sportster...

hanly2: I used a slender point chisel about the size of the riveted end. Punched carefully with a hammer (and a rag covering everything) and it pops out. Just remember to keep track of the spring and be careful pulling the metal dowel out of the thumb lever as it will crack and break...

WoW! Coming back from the dead. Finally got the decals on with clearcoat. New Latch for the tank. I am currently rebuilding calipers for the dual disc setup. And sanding the fork tube for the brushed look. The bike is currently at the engine shop having the 555cc bored over engine put in...

I think that the repairs are a wash. The Harley has less in common with other run of the mill Sportsters. Oil Cooled heads different frame, tank, bodywork, shocks, brakes, wheels etc, etc. It is as if the kept just enough of the Sportster to call it that. The other bikes speak for themselves on...

I own a Sportster and think they are great (for what they do) Once the XR1200 came along I was hooked. Pipes have to go, other than that, easy choice Sportster. I would get the Ducati if I wasn't going to mess with a bike in any way (not going to happen if your on this forum). It looks hot the...

I need one of those for my 500. Love your work especially the 4 into 2 exhaust.

going to run a FMIC? Have you picked a boost controller yet?

:o After that vid that IS one hell of a sleeper. I have been a V8 guy but the 2.3T is very addictive. I have the turbocoupe intercooler coming in and some exhaust mods on the svo. Working my way up to 300hp. hope everything goes great on the XR4Ti.

I have them. Let me dig them out and get some photos for ya. I will call you on Saturday.

Since I am turning the other 500 into a cafe and have tons of spares, I need to get rid of a few. First up is a freshly powder coated Frame and swing arm from a 73 cb500. I have the vin plate and title. I am asking for $225 because it cost $215 to powder coat both pieces. Buyer may pic up or pay...

I am a mustang guy. I have had at least one in the driveway since '99. here is the wife's. Sold for a family car with the 18x10's on the rear here is my foxbdy. Lightly modded. a deer on the interstate ended it. right now I have one of my favorites. A 86 SVO 2.3 turbo 5spd. Factory 5 lug...

Paint Done. Next tailight, turnsignals, and road.

yes shipping?! ;D you might not be the only one that may like one. Where would you suggest a meet up at? 8)

DetroitRockCity: I am having an initial run of about 20 made. As soon as I get them I will pm you with a price. I will charge cost + Shipping. So relatively nothing. Ericngsta: I am using the Duplicolor Car Series. Stuff that comes in the small cans. It bonds better than almost any other...

Here is the head light bucket. Primer: Color: Got some wet sanding to do on everything then a good clear on tank with Spraymax. And standard rattle can clear on everything else. My buddy and I decided to mount a Sportster seat to the Honda and it ended up looking pretty cool. I don't...

All right guys. I had a bout of bad luck with the paint and had to start over. Tank rework. Lesson learned: "Make sure you read the primer can carefully otherwise the paint will sluff off like dead skin" Tank Painted: It is far from perfect. Very far. I would like to re do it again ,but...

OK more updates. I have gotten to it on the body work. Tank and sidecovers are in primer now. Took 5 passes with Bondo to get the emblem area smooth. I could probably work on that for a whole other day. Still along way to go before paint touches her. Wet sanding here I come. Oh Yeah pics. I...

EMGO 14.25" Shocks Brand New just got installed. Made for a CB 750 or 900. Black casing with a chrome spring. Put them on my cafe project and are sprung just a bit too stiff and change the trail angle just enough to make the bike unstable. Looking for $80 US for everything or 13" Emgo Shocks or...
