CBR500R-CB500-4
Just thought I would post a photo of my 1971 CB500-4 and my sons 2014 CBR500R
Nice see these bikes together to see the evolution of what was & what is now  :)

Cool pic. Your bikes looks stunning sitting there, a true example for your son of how to maintain/restore a bike and keep it looking factory fresh for 40+ years.

Would be interesting to see a resto-mod of an SOHC using the new CBR bike as donor parts (not yours/his) in lieu of GSXR parts.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis

Thanks guys,
Yes a resto mod would be great for the CB500/4 but it will stay original as it would be crazy to hack up a good original bike.

I never meant for your 500 to be the donor. Some other dilapidated abandoned POS, but use a new, wrecked 500rr as the modern donor.
