Ladies and gents,

My name is Julian. I'm a recent graduate of graphic design and I recently moved to Vancouver from Montreal. I'm 24 years old and I've just put a deposit on my first bike, a 76 CB500 that I am bringing in from Washington. If everything goes well, I'll have her home by mid-week next week! She's going to need some love, but I have the winter to get her running again!

I am a VW guy but I sold my car to head out west and commute on a bicycle. I'm itching for another project, so I'm hoping to have some fun with the CB.

I'll post some pictures when I get her home! I look forward to chat with everybody on the forums and exchange knowledge as I go!

Joolz

Greetings and welcome to the forum.

Are you positive its a 1976? I say this because Honda never made a cb500 four that year as they had bumped them up to 550's.

We love pictures.

Yes, it's definitely a CB 550.. my mistake! It needs quite a bit of work - and the previous owner painted flames on the tank and side covers. If you look beyond that, it has some potential!
