1976 Honda 500t Chopper Project

[Koestum]

Bought a new $550 bike today with title. Close to running & driving but not quite, owner had to sell to make rent.

Needs a little more electrical connected, clutch & throttle cables hooked up & exhaust installed... maybe a little more.

More pics to come but this was the pic from the ad (looks better here than in real life but still pretty good):

Good start, looks pretty low. I'm not 100% convinced on the rear fender struts but I'm not 100% against them either.

Parts aren't too hard to find since it's the same engine as the 450 but a little longer stroke.

Did some rewiring and got it running yesterday. Also put the sprocket cover back on.
