cafe or stock? how bout BOTH!

[DetroitRockCity]

i started cafe'ing out my 1973 CB500K2 this winter.

its coming along nicely, but i couldn't pass up a deal on this other 1973 CB500K2!!

i now own two bikes, same make and year. its awesome being able to swap parts around and what not.

picked the stocker up for $600, filthy, stuck brake and gunked up carbs...

had it running in two hours after i got it home, and after one saturday in the garage she shines like a Krugerand!

pic's of the white bikes engine are in the Project ebay thread....

these are my first bikes and most definately my first builds!

Sweet!

Great to have both... you gonna get another one to make into a Flat Tracker? Chopper? Sidecar? You're going to need a few 73's ;D

i was figuring if i have both of these all squared away, and can find another one, why not make a bobber to round out the collection!

If these are your first bikes, who's toys are those in the garage? Looks like you have some good company.
