'73 CB500.
« on: June 12, 2010, 01:14:24 PM »
Bought this bike back in april. Had been sitting since 1987. Its was in really good shape when i bought it due to being stored in a furnished basement. The tank was a little rusty and the carbs were frozen looked to be about all wrong with it. Had the carbs cleaned and it fired right up with fresh gas.






After some work.

Nice find, looks good. Just taking off that seat made a HUGE improvement!

Good luck.

Just trying to figure out what to do next. Thinking about buying some after market coils. I still have all the stock parts that i took off if anyone is interested.

How can you tell?  I think I have the same mufflers....they were on my bike when I bought it, but there isn't a name anywhere on them.  I was led to believe they were MAC, but they look just like yours....
