start of my cb500 four 1973 cafe build
« on: July 01, 2012, 11:14:54 AM »
got this bike a bit back now and just made a start on it , the bike was sat in a garage for about 10 years ,it  was in bad shape when i got it out
but it was all there .1st i striped the engine out and cut most the crap off it for a look ,got the tank off and put the some dents in there .next job sort the rest of the frame out then mount a seat on it then start on the engine . dont no much about these bikes .spent most my time on bobbers and choppers and putting bike engines in scooters .just got my sportster cafe racer on the road , but always  wanted to do a honda ,love this site loads of good info  8) 8)
