Hey folks. My name is Tom McVay. I'm 20 yrs old. I'm from East Providence,RI. I have been patrolling this forum for the past few weeks and figured I would do a intro finally. There are some beautiful bikes on here and a wealth of knowledge. I just picked up a 72' CB500 a few weeks ago and stripped it completely down cleaned it and painted it and am putting it back together now. I am gonna start a build thread for it not really sure what to classify it as though. Maybe someone here can tell me.

getting there. I am keeping it pretty much stock for the most part now. stock seat. stock bars. Cant use clubmans or clipons because its just not comfortable with me. stock front fender. cut down rear fender. all in all its not reall a brat, tracker, or cafe so I have no idea.
 
Welcome to DTT!

Your bike looks like a good starting point. If you aren't comfy with clipons or clubmans, why not try dragbars?
I have drags on my otherwise kinda stock 450 and the riding position is just perfect and it looks sweet too.


And as for the "where to post project" issue;


Just post your project wherever you feel like, no one's gonna get angry with you if you change directions a couple of times while building your bike ;)
