Right on, thank you gents for all the input. I know that the question was rather broad and open ended, but that was the intent. I wanted to get feedback from all the gurus.
@The Jedi Master: How have you been Teazer, thanks for droppin in on this, I haven’t been around the DTT community as much in the past 2 months.. busy with my indentured servitude (aka the Army lol), planning my wedding and finishing my '75CB200T build, which, has a build thread soon to come.
I recently got hold of a '76 CB500T and wanted to see what the pros thought. I personally love the bike. As of yet the only mods are some clipons, both fenders and turn signal removed, tail light replaced, avon rubber, a set of Progressive Suspension coil overs for the back and a full tune-up on the engine. I know it isn’t the most preferred café racer platform but im in love with it.. the torque, the mechanical bull vibration, the piston thump, the fact that you have to maintain a multitude of components fairly regularly or at least be aware of their respective operating conditions .. and yes even the brown seat Teazer
I have all the manuals and a pretty rigid maintenance schedule that has been working well.. However, If anyone has any helpful maintenance tips or things to watch for type stuff I would be more than grateful for it.. Nothing can replace the wisdom of experience and having done it wrong or almost wrong once or twice. ;]
Ill post of pic of my 500T if anyone cares to give her a peek. Thanks again Gents.. Cheers!
