Topic: 500 Four!

[tigerbeat]

Hi, i'll finally introduce myself!  I picked up my CB around six years ago  while living in Richmond, VA.  I paid a whopping $500 for it,
all I had to do was buy a battery and I was on my way!  Looking back, I should have just kept it stock, it was in pretty decent shape
for its age.  Anyway, I used it as my daily rider while living in Atlanta.  Now i live out in the sticks and have an insane commute to work, but it gets ridden on every day off.  Thinking about riding to Rockerbox this year if I can get the time off.  Here are some pics of its progress so far.

Hey! I disagree...although it's nice to keep some of these stock...unless they are pristine examples... i'm all over the café style! (hope I don't get beat up for that comment)  You Did a fantastic Job of working your bike into one slick SOHC 4!! I love the look man!  Great bike!

Cheers!

I also am the proud owner of a CB500 four.  I recently brought mine back from the dead after sitting for 28 years.  As for how much I paid for it I got all you guys beat I got mine for free.
