I have a CB500 Motor that came out of my 1973 Honda CB500. It has carbs and a good clutch rod. I'm hoping to sell the engine complete, but I might consider parting out if there is no interest in the whole thing. Obviously, this would be for local pick up if it's sold complete. It is missing...

I swapped a 550 motor from a 1974 bike into my 73 CB500. I purchased motor mounts from eBay so that it would have the correct bracket for the clutch cable. I installed the motor this weekend but do not have enough clearance for the clutch cable to mount or work properly. Anyone have any...

I need a front caliper assembly. Mine has a broken off/seized bleeder screw and it's missing the spring adjustment bolt.

I know it's a dead horse. We've all heard it before. A CB500 with clutch issues. That being said, mine is slipping hard in 5th. Well, I think it's slipping. In 5th gear only it does this hard hesitation/fish biting. No other gear is this felt. In first, I'm more than certain it's...

So, this weekend I was doing a shakedown run and felt like the bike was sluggish. Came back and felt like it might be out of time. After I pulled the cover I noticed the spark advance was reallllllyyy rusty. So, I marked the contact plate, removed it, took out the spark advance and...

So this may be hard to figure out without pics but I'll post some when I get home. So I took my front end apart to rebuild the front hub and to clean up the front forks. Today I tried to reassemble. When I went to bolt the axle caps on the front tire kept tilting to the side of the brake rotor...

Bought a CB500 with a title in NC for $700. Bike was in decent shape when I bought it. Tank had a few dents in it, exhaust had some surface rust, bike has 30k miles. Engine does run, but has some noticeable noise at idle. It doesn't sound like bottom end noise, but I can't tell if it's cam...

I'm looking to trade my stock exhaust from my 73 CB500 for a 4 into 1 setup. Let me know what you have. My exhaust does have a few leaks, but are in overall good condition. IF anyone is interested I'll take pics and post accordingly. I would prefer a black exhaust, but will entertain any and...

Anyone had any luck with this type of seat http://www.ebay.com/itm/400146720051?item=400146720051&viewitem=&vxp=mtr I was wondering what is involved in the installation, and was curious if anyone had any pics of a seat like this installed. I love the idea of using the factory seat pan, and the...

WHich dime city hoop would I need on a 73 CB 500? I"m looking to cut off the old seat/fender brackets, and make a slim-line seat. My thinking is that I use a rear frame hoop like they sell then use some sheet metal to weld to the top. I wanna do a seat in the fashion of this...

I'm sure this is an old dead horse by now, but here goes. I removed the left side trans cover on a 73 CB500 to inspect the clutch push rod as the clutch was very difficult to squeeze and did not full disengage the clutch. I found a ball bearing in the cover (I know that's supposed to be there)...

Will these http://www.fastfromthepast.com/servlet/the-112/Rearsets--Fixed-Rubber/Detail work on a 73 cb500? IF so does anyone have any experience as to if the kick starter will clear them? Im attempting to source some parts ahead of time for my project and don't have enough knowledge on the...

Gonna go look at this tomorrow as a first project bike. http://charlotte.craigslist.org/mcy/2770305363.html Pics suck, but he says the title is clean. Any Charlotte guys on here recognize the bike?

I'm new to the forum and thought I would introduce myself. My name is Michael. I live in Graham NC and work as a diagnostic specialist at Johnson Lexus. I currently own a 2008 Harley nightster. I'm in the market for a CB. I've been looking for a while and haven't found a 750 that's in my price...

I've been looking for a project bike for a long time here locally in NC. Found this today near home. Owner says bike has not run in over 2 years, and that he knows that it has a "gasket issue causing it to foul plugs", which says to me that it needs piston rings, and probably an entire engine...
