First bike, Noob Intro/ 76 CB500T
« on: July 07, 2007, 02:05:02 PM »
Just making this my offical intro.

My names Aaron, From philly PA.

1976 Honda CB500T 8,645 miles. Its obviously in pretty good shape.

The guy I bought it for went and tried to make it a chopper. Lowered it and chopped off the blinkers/ kill switch/ elec. start/ & lights.

Im currently tracking down a few electrical bugs which are stopping me from getting spark. But the good news is that I only paid $400 with a box parts and a sears cycle lift.

Already bought clubmans, rearsets, K % N pod filters, new blinkers, and mirrors.

What do you guys think?

looks like a good buy
I would get the bike running with the original air box first, then put in the pods and adjust as needed. welcome by the way

^Any reason to use the airbox first? Will it make tuning easier?

Thanks!
