Missed my CB so I got another one!
« on: June 05, 2013, 03:35:56 PM »
Hello all! I currently have a 72 CB500 4 that I aquired from a friend for, "The biggest bottle of Jack Daniels" I could find. $42.99 later I got this gem.



Quick list of my bikes:
Previous-81 CB750 bought for $600 running, renewed and traded.
Current: 89 Kawasaki Ninja 250(Won off a bet from my ex-gf dad) Restored for my first bike rode the tires off it.
94 CR250 little bastard break clutch levers like its her job. Totally not my fault  ;)
02 Honda 919- the daily driver with cbr900 header swap power commander and renthal ultra low bars.
and last but not least the 500.

So Ive had it for about 6 months. Towed it home it sat for a while because of lack of funds. Took 15 minutes or less to get it running. New plugs and battery little carb spray and she fired.

Any recommendations or things I should look out for are appreciated!

If it sounds like I know what I'm talking about, it's because I cut and pasted from someone else.

Thanks everyone. Its good to be back to CBs even though technically I never left. Just one that was 20 years newer my CB900. haha. I thought $42 wasn't bad for the bottle then next time I was at the store and saw it for $30 something. Oh well not a real loss!

And in case you were wondering the size of the bottle
