Hi guys,
Just bought a Honda CB 500 with a 550 engine today This is my first bike and therefore my first project. My plan is to make it a cafe racer over time, but first thing to do is to get it through inspection. Its running, lights, brakes etc. works fine. I need a new rear tire (and probably new front tire as well) and a new o-ring seal for the fuel petcock. Its leaking bad
But the engine sounds strong and is in decent shape! Fires right up.. I don't have pictures at me at the moment, but will post some soon as possible. I already started working on it due to a ugly windshield, grips removed, tank removed and also removed bagage-box-thingy. The bike is spray painted (i think) in some ugly light blue color - looks awful. Doesn't fit the bike at all. It has a 4-in-1 Marshall exhaust in nice shape.
