1971 CB500 Four Running
« on: May 01, 2009, 11:30:41 AM »
Thanks to all the members who post here.  The wealth of knowledge is unbelievable.  Now for a little story.  I purchased the bike new in March of 72.  Went in the military and my Dad rode it for a number of years.  The last time it was licensed and ridden was 1981.  Mom moved so we cleaned out the garage and there it was under a pile of boxes and such.  To make a long story short, I changed the oil, filter, plugs, points, condensers and rebuilt the carbs.  Darn thing started on the first try.  I still have allot of fine tuning and clean up to do but what a surprise.
