Hi! 1971 CB500K LA, CA via BC + T.O
« on: July 08, 2019, 10:01:20 PM »
Hi All

New here - bought my 1971 CB500K in 1990, in the Toronto area for $500. I've ridden it a ton and have  prob $20K + in it.
Engine rebuilt, have had the clutch done twice over the years. It looks pretty rough,  I've never been that fussed about that part. When I moved to LA 8 yrs ago people took a look at it and said w a smile "you are not from around here". I have recently purchased a replacement tank, 'cause I got hit a while ago and suffered a big dent, etc.

I'm sorting the bike into a somewhat shinier version now. I do love my CB. Also have a BMW, a 1985 K100RS.

Thanks for having me!
