if anyone else is interested, the bike is still for sale. i am also willing to entertain trades.

Hey there guys, I've learned that i've gotten myself in over my head with mechanical projects...so heres a project up for anyone as far as i know, the carbs need to be synced, and the controls connected again. Theres alot of new, petty stuff on the bike. But it needs a mechanically intelligent...

Thanks Tim!

So i was soaking my carbs off a 73 CB500 today, and decided, just out of curiosity, to blow some compressed air through the fuel lines. Left side fuel line worked fine, and had bubbles coming from both carbs. However the right side line was only coming from one of the 2. I gave it a look over...

After asking some of the local bike shops, no one can even give me a name for what the part is...but heres some pictures!

Anyone? Anyone? I can send Paypal, etc. But i would really appreciate the help!

Hey guys, im looking for the doohickey that stops the floats from being fully extended. It looks like its part # 33 in the carb schematic, but i just cant find it. Its the T-like piece of brass. Im sorry for the ignorance, but im learning!

Currently tearing the bike apart...

Hey guys, sorry, but another stupid question that i just cant figure out. I took my headlight off to paint/shine/etc and now after trying every combination i can think of, i just cant get it back together. It seems as if the two inner screws keep warping the bucket, and when i do think i get it...

Hey, I have a '73 CB500 cafe project, and After looking at making a seat, im opting to buy a premade cafe seat, the cheaper the better. Also willing to trade the stock seat pan, foam, and brand new cover for a seat thats ready to go. Please, let me know, Caela

thanks guys. I found the other fuel line..needless to say it was very well hidden. Hooked both up, and turned the petcock on full bore. For about 3 minutes nothing happened until it was spilling from the overflow tubes. Turned it off then about half on, and it didnt overflow, but still nothing...

Hey all, I apologize for this relatively stupid question, but i just can't figure it out. I was attempting to attach my gas tank today, had the schematic (left the manual at home by accident), the petcock works fine, comes out both of the petcock tubes. Thing is that the fuel line, to what i...

oh yeah, i'm still trying to figure something out to get him in return> Definitely was not expecting that kind, kind act. The stickers were a b*tch to get off, even with aircraft stripper...apparently there were more than one tough guy with flaming skull stickers on CBs... what a world as for...

Hey, thanks, just started a thread...crappy photos, but blame AT&T for that...

After the first paint strip, and initial de-rusting. The paint job was done by a local body shop, the old fire chief apparently was watching the progress that i slowly made, stole my tank and side panels for about a week without my knowing and had them painted. Great guy ;D

So like a good Craigslist lurker, i picked up a bike from a trailer park for $150. This bike was described, as good, running, and needing 'some work'- "mainly the carbs".... Upon driving a fancy new H3 with a POS landscaping trailer..you know the ones that haven't been registered in years...
