I hate to sell because this bike is my pride and joy, but I need the money so here it is.
It's a 1971 Honda CB500 Four with 12,000-ish miles on it. When I bought the bike it was in poor knick, and had not run in a number of years. Since then, I rebuilt the bike essentially from the ground up. I've since cleaned, polished, painted, or otherwise customized every piece of the bike. It has electric and kick start, and it runs like a top. Honestly every single time I ride, someone stops me to compliment the bike.
Work done and notable custom touches (not an exhaustive list):
- Pulled engine, replaced all seals, cleaned/polished aluminum bits
- Rebuilt carburetors from ground up, vintage aluminum velocity stacks (rare), re-jetted to run smooth
- De-rusted the gas tank, and shaved the original 70's Honda emblems in favor of 60's-era classic winged Honda emblems from a different model.
- Tank, frame, side covers repainted
- Reverted to groovy 4-into-4 exhaust (rare)
- Clip-on type handlebars
- Vintage British headlight and front number plate
- Simplified electrics with vintage cloth covered wires
- Clear points cover (pretty cool you can see sparks from the points at night)
- Footpeg turn signals (never seen this before but thought it might be a neat way to get rid of the gigantic ugly factory signals)
- Dual-tone high-decibel air horn/compressor for safety (this mf'r is loud)
- Cb350f side covers, cut and shortened, modified, fiberglassed/body-worked smooth, and painted (right hand cover is hinged and opens to access battery and horn components. The hole in the left hand cover is where one of the air horn trumpets exits.)
- Cable-operated front brake master cylinder relocated under the front of the gas tank (cleans up the handlebars getting rid of the bulky stock master cylinder and moving the whole operation out of sight)
- I'll throw in my Large full face motorcycle helmet, which has been outfitted with bluetooth connectivity.
I don't have the physical title in hand, but I did a full title-bond check when registering the bike in Mississippi, which came back clean. As a result the bike now has a permanent (never expires) MS antique motorcycle tag.
This bike is a ton of fun and it is a reliable daily rider.
Price is $2500 or best offer
