1971 Cb500
« on: April 29, 2015, 09:42:55 PM »
I bought a '71 CB500 last winter and have been restoring/custom rebuilding the bike. I got the carbs w/the bike but they weren't installed, I took them apart to start the rebuild and it looks like someone else had the same idea but didn't know what they were doing. There are a few striped screws and bolts and they striped the throttle valve/needle jet plate screws and tried to dill them out but they destroyed the throttle valve. Can I purchase new or aftermarket (103 2.5 slides) anywhere?

If you need a set of carbs I have 069s from a 550F. If they will work I could let them go for cheap. Hit me up if Interested
