What bike is the silver tank off of? Love the look.

I believe the ratios are Speedometer 2240:60 and Tachometer 20:3 on a cb500

Re: Alex's 72 CB750... as cheaply as possible This is a great project. I really like what you have done with the exhaust and the shocks.

Well, I got my hands dirty. This is after the under seat components were removed. There was a piece of gum on the fender. On the other side is the mess of an electrical system. More electrical mess And just a little bit more I have the whole thing sprayed with cleaner and washed. The bad...

I got this on Monday for $100. It is a 1973 Honda 500 4 cylinder, don't know much else. It has compression and spark but no gas. I hope to get it running with a carburetor rebuild and a new chain soon. I'm still considering what to do with it. I definitely need to repaint that tank. Does...
