Welcome Kapps.
I'm building a 72 CB500 also. You can check out my build thread in the big arse section under cafes- http://dotheton.com/index.php?topic=14084.0

This website has all the info you need... you can download manuals and schematics here, too, which has saved me at least the cost of tracking down and purchasing them.

If you can't get your questions answered here, there may not be an answer.

Check out SOHC4.net, they cater to these bikes. Lot of good info on there. Oh and your bike is considered a CB500, nix the F part. I know your cases probably have that in the serial # but they all do. The F's didn't come into play until the 550s came along.

Its actually a cb500K1. Welcome to the site brother! Great bike! Get some pics up here asap... We love em' here... Also as far as aftermarket, what are you looking for? The more info we have the more help we can be.
