Hello All,
I have been lurking these forums for a long long time trying to gain as much knowledge as possible. I am picking up a 1971 Honda CB500 next weekend that I am going to rebuild into a cafe project. Although this is the first time I will be rebuilding a bike from the ground up, it is not my first time working on motorcycles, nor is it my first bike. I have been around motorcycles my whole life. I come from a Harley Davidson family, and am the complete black sheep in the family considering I have never owned, nor do I have ever wish to own a HD. I have always preferred metric bikes and racing bikes.
I actually got turned on to old Honda cbs when I was 19 and I traded a bicycle I had built for a 1982 Honda CB750 dohc. That bike was a lot of fun, but I ended up selling to buy a more modern sport bike. In retrospect, I wish I held onto the CB750. After all of these years I am returning to a Honda CB, and I look forward to talking shop and trading knowledge with you all.
If any of you happen to have any information on the best place to obtain a set of 1971 CB500 carbs, I would greatly appreciate it.
