Finally completed mods to stock 2015 Icon. No fancy fabrication...just removal of OEM components and bolted on aftermarket stuff...replaced exhaust, front and rear suspension, tires and seat. Removed swing arm and relocated license plate and light; added headlight grill, rear rack, skid plate...

I've traced excessive gas fumes in our garage to a fuel valve petcock that's leaking. I'm having trouble finding a rebuild kit for it ('75 CB500T). I'd be willing to swap out the entire valve, but they appear to be hard to come by. I'm not keen on T-ing the two lines in order to adapt to a newer...

The next Rice-O-Rama is scheduled for Sunday, September 7 at the Spencer Fairgrounds, Spencer MA....a little west of Worcester. Who's going?

I'm thinking about an SR500 for my next build, but although they made a bunch of them over the years, I can't seem to find very many that are for sale...at least at a reasonable cost (i.e. under $1400?). I'd even look at an engine/transmission only proposition with an eye to integrating them...

Would anyone happen to know if this is a one-off custom tooled item or if it is available from a supplier? It is so cool!

On my CB500T build the starter apparently is not getting what it needs from the 8 cell Antigravity LI battery. I think it's supposed to draw 55amps but it's pulling 140. Does this suggest a short in the windings? Luckily it starts on the 1st or second kick, but if I'm going to carry the weight...

Got a set of 32mm for my CB500T project but I can't seem to get them right...wet plugs and unburned fuel out the tail pipes. I saw where others here had used the same carbs and got good results with mains at 185, pilot 30, needle 6dh7 with clip on the top. We've gone all the way down to 143 and...

OK...it's far enough along now that I'm feeling more confident of seeing it through to the end. I wanted to make sure it didn't devolve into boxes of parts on Craigslist before launching a new build thread. So here's the "before"...a '75 CB500T that I bought off a Maine state trooper. It was a...

Anybody interested in this factory sissy option off a low-mileage '75 CB500T? Make offer...

Mark Upham's Brough Superior SS101 'Pendine'

Had some material left over from the seat, so I thought I'd try my hand at making a small side-mount compartment for carrying a cell phone and a sandwich...maybe a couple of 24oz beverages. It's crude but serviceable and I rigged it so it can go on and off fairly easily. I'll include an image of...

So paid the big bucks for an 8-cell Antigravity battery and tucked it into its freshly welded compact well. As we wired up the lights the battery ran down...onto the special LiPo charger it went. But the voltage wouldn't come up beyond 8 or 9 volts. Called support and they said we had killed the...

Can anyone tell me if the air boxes for the CB450 are the same as those for the CB500T?

I haven't decided yet if I want to leave my newly painted all-one-color gas tank devoid of emblems/badges/decals, or if I should make a custom decal that might lend identity and character. If I do affix a decal, I don't want to do an off-the-shelf one...you know...Honda wings...that sort of...

I've got a set of air boxes for a CB500T that are in very good shape...connecting hoses too. How does $35 for the pair sound?

Doing a cafe/brat build with a CB500T and will not be having a front fender, so I'm looking for a fork brace that can be used with boots but with a raised center to clear the tire. I like the RSW, but don't know if he makes one that will fit my forks. Left email and voice message for Ron, but no...

So I posted these the other day and haven't had any action yet. Do you think my price is too high? I looked at what else was on there and they all seemed to have issues (i.e. "need to be cleaned", etc.)...

As part of my build, I'm replacing the stock carburetors with Mikunis, so if anyone wants the originals, let me know. The bike had only 2400 miles on it before the break down and the stock carbs were cleaned and tweaked with new float and float valve seal. They performed perfectly for the 50...

I'm doing a 1975 CB500T cafe/brat build and have lots of stock parts that have been removed and are available if you're interested...headers and pipes, seat, fenders, handle bar, headlight, turn signals, tail light, side panels, center stand, battery box, etc., etc. Let me know your area of...
