inherited a basket case 72 cb500
« on: April 19, 2012, 04:47:17 PM »
A family friend my father knew was diagnosed with brain cancer.
He found out I was getting into motorcycles and gave this project to me before he died.
it is currently stored at my fathers place, while i am posted away from home.

I am trying to come up with a game plan as far as where to take it
I don't know much of it
 


I am thinking he was going cafe look
the swing arm is stretched 2 inches ? not sure don't have access atm
he said it was a 500 built as a 550 .. don't know if that means 550 head or what

seems to have parts from other bikes too

wheels no idea what from (maybe a kawasaki LTD ?)



seat pan and tail piece i really wish i knew what it was from (kawasaki h2 or a KZ  its made of metal?)





Gallery seems to be broken at the moment so i cant put these pictures there
