Topic: CB500 1972 carb things

That or buy the whole aluminum rack with shaft & arms intact.

I was pulling these parts to sell to you, but apparently  you decided, that you got a better deal.. get them to fix you up...

Decision made by bike owner. Im just the wrench. No need to get cranky about it.
Had I the slightest clue about what was involved I would have recommended getting the entire thing, if a 500 is available.  thats why I ask questions here.

I didnt know how  much was involved either & had resigned myself to the fact that I would get nothing for the parts and some of my labour covered.. IF they got sold..

 Trying to help people can backfire.

 No wonder some people are sitting on huge stashes of parts, and  are reluctant to even look if they have the stuff..

& other people  soon get in a position on here where it is hard to get people to sell you stuff.

 be carefull who you help, it can screw things up for yourself, if things go wrong..

So- just to be clear: you got a whole rack for a 500? I understand 550's are different- carb spacing or something....if the owner cant actually get these parts- could  be the guy discovered its not easy to get apart- at any rate, i dont see them- ill take what you got off your hands.
its holdin up the show here.....
