that search paramiter just changed my world. I did not know you could do that. I am now ruined.

my condolences. It didn't help me either.

Though thankfully I'm usually looking for heavy items that I need to find local

Oh my... that method of searching is gonna kill me.

I wish I hadn't learned that little trick...

Hey- how do you get a national craigslist listing?!

Pwfyrcat1 · « **Reply #29 on:** November 30, 2007, 02:02:11 PM »

I did a similar craigslist search too. Amazing. bonus, not having to go city by city

Genious...

Booyah for boolean searches!

I've always wondered how I could do a national search... Could this also work for a statewide craigslist search?

heffay · « **Reply #31 on:** November 30, 2007, 02:40:33 PM »

i've been replacing gb500 w/ all sorts of things like... cb400f colorado

IT WORKS!

Sub craiglist with eBay and you get one long search result.

Here is the link to all the other good stuff http://members.ld.infoseek.co.jp/m_tachi/bike/catalog.html ENJOY

I really do like the looks of the GB's with the exception of the front fender braces. Somehow they seem out of place. I wouldn't refuse one because of it though.

That's a nice looking fairing on that bike. I wonder who made that for Honda. Wonder if it would fit a cb750??

Uncle Ernie · « **Reply #37 on:** December 03, 2007, 01:43:22 PM »

Believe it or not, that fairing came from the factory on the 400's. Sort of their Dunstall homage, if you will.

The GB 400/500 was a nice bike indeed but I like my four pots, a CB400/4 with a GB plate will always my # 1.

I think somoene had built a cool race bike using a Honda GB500 engine and an XL600 RFVH... he wanted the XL head because of the dual carb set up. From what I recall from the article, it was a pretty screaming machine. I'll have to see if I can find it again.

If you have around $8k I know of a shop in Richmond VA with a great example that has a 600cc+ big bore kit on it. I will try and dig up their card and see if they have a website.

To quote me in the '80s: "Thumpers rule, OK!!"

Of course, I'm a tad biased.

medic09 · « **Reply #42 on:** December 18, 2007, 11:29:20 PM »

That craigslist search killed me too. Except I substituted SR500. I kinda miss my old Yamaha thumper.

Uncle Ernie · « **Reply #43 on:** December 19, 2007, 06:44:41 PM »

That SR has an excellent engine in there. Stronger than the GB for sure. The pegs were a little far forward for me...
I had a primo SR that I couldn't start. The old retired lady next door would come over and kick it over for me in the mornings. I was afraid to stop for gas, so I sold it. Very sad. They are a real bargain, too.
