CB500T Brat/Cafe

[VintageElectronics]

So I have been hesitant to post as this is my first build and I did not know how it was going to turn out... I'm only one day away from finishing and I feel really good about my Honda CB500T. I bought the bike for 300 in New Hampshire and have since day been wrenching on it since September of 2016. Everything on the bike was done by me and my buddy here in Boston.

Show it off man! Gotta be proud of your first build. I'm building my first bike also and I get it. Screw anybody who doesn't like it anyhow. Let's see it!

Here is a few recent pictures. The last one is the day I got the bike.

Looks great man, you can tell there is a ton of top notch work on that thing! Just brace yourself, you will be heavily advised to fit a front fork brace and check your seat to tire clearance beautiful work man

This is awesome. Have you tried to 2 up on it? I'm working on a café/brat/fighter thing myself while trying to keep the 2 up capability. Seat options are quite difficult in that aspect.

Looking good!

I have the same brake master on my cb360, it works well but i had problems with leaks fron the 'braided' line.

Recommend replacing that with something that fits/seals better.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll make sure to do that.

Last piece and I've run into a problem. The right hand side switch assembly is complete garbage for my build but it seems Honda stopped producing them. Anyone have a 500T switch controls for sale!?

Great work. I'm just finishing my first build as well and know how great it feels.


Yeah Son!
