Wow. I need better pics!
I saw Nelson's bike at the Charlotte show tonight and, I must say, it's pretty damn nice. Had a crowd around it the whole time.
My silver '71 CB500 is on display at the VJMC booth, if any of you make it to the Charlotte show.
I originally bought this bike for the engine. I wanted to do a 550 engine swap into my 500, but after riding this one home, I realized it was too nice and too complete to rob for parts.
The engine is now 563cc, ported and polished head, match ported manifolds, CB650 cam, jetted carbs and NOS Jardine exhaust.
The paint mimics the CB750F stripe and I used Super Sport badges. Did a dual disc conversion. The bike handles and rides great and is a pleasure to ride.
