Delilah, 72 CB500 project
« on: September 02, 2015, 08:25:51 PM »
Hello all,
I just picked up a badly beaten project to work on so my wife can go riding with me.  A 1972 CB500.  Picked her up off CL today, she's been neglected long enough, so now it's my turn to make her into something nice and pretty.  So this journey begins on a full rebuild, engine frame, electrical, paint, wheels.  The plan is to go with a bobber look, flat black and red.

Welcome to the forum!

Where in California are you located?  Good choice size-wise for your wife's project bike -- great middleweight, excellent handling bike.
