Hi all!
Time to get my own project on the forum, been working on a CB500 -73 that I bought in september last year, got bitten by the bug looking at all nice builds on this site and had to get my own idea of a mild cafe build going
The bike was in decent shape with the engine running ok, had been sitting in a garage for the last 5 years according the PO
Someone did put a lot of love on this bike in the late seventies for sure, fibreglass front and rear fender in some "custom" looking style
Handmade seat by a guy name Bengt Sandin who did aftermarket seats for the CB´s here in Sweden back in the days
Marzocchi rear suspension, high handlebars and a Swedish made 4-1 system from the seventies

Got the bike in to my garage and started to get her into small pices...
