... but did take custody of this wicked '71 CB500 today.

Very Jealous!  Where'd ya find that??

Do you still have your 550, I sold you a set of pipes?

Hi Stev-o! found this bike in New Braunfels, I fired up Craigslist one afternoon and there it was - the listing was already 12 days old by the time I saw it. I think it would have disappeared much quicker had it been listed on Marketplace instead, but glad it stuck around so I had a chance at it.

I ended up selling that other 550 back in 2021 (wow time flies). it looked sharp with your pipes, but I had to make some space - that was a fun project! Bike was left for dead in someone's backyard, I picked it up with title for free - also was a CL score. here's how it ended up if I never shared it



The engine and pipes look excellent/Clean and shining on it.
75' CB400F/'bunch o' parts'
