[tshaw151]

just came through my work looking for parts lol its a cb500 turbo motor in a RD350 frame ....

 

[DrJ]

My jaw has officially hit the floor.

 

[tshaw151]

now i wonder who built it? ... it was built in the late 70s according to the guy who trucked it in. has some 80s brakes on it hopefully he gets this thing running and brings it back.

It's a bit too pimp for my tastes! ???

Never seen a brown painted CB500 engine before. I'd pay admission to see that thing and hear it run.

yea i know right? i guess it was assembled and ran only a handfull of times b4 it was stored and gawk'd at for the next 30 years or so

That is one really unusual color. I get the feeling that if I were to ride that bike I'd need a big fedora and a fur coat with diamonds stuck in my teeth. I'm very surprised that the tie downs don't match the bike.

 

[Wingspan]

Not to my tastes, but it certainly is unique!

I feel a new tv show coming... Pimp My Cafe

Oddly enough, I like it. I'd ride the shit out of it.

Me too but only with a full face and a very very dark visor.

Is that pink?

 

[xulf13]

where does he hang the fuzzy dice? I like the looks of it, but I would remove the fenders, and change the color of the bike. I would like to hear this engine run as well.

 

[cowboysculptor]

Even the foot pegs are crazy on this bike!

 

[VonYinzer]

Wow... Thats something else for sure. Any chance you could get some more pics? The paint and body work screams early 80s. Whoever built it certainly dropped a lot of coin. There has to be some mention of that bike somewhere on the ol' interweb...

 

[djelliott]

You'd have to be a very unique looking individual to pull off being seen on that bike. I do seriously appreciate it's originality though.

 

[BicycleBobe]

Strip of all the crap and leave the tank and seat and it be pretty good looking in my opinion.

 

[tshaw151]

yea i only snapped a few pics of it ... cell camera isnt the best so i put up the best shot i had, the guy working on it said hed bring it by when he gets it running ill take video then, but till then im still wondering about who built it originally.
