I recently have bought a 1973 Honda CB 500.  The bike was in good shape when I bought it. Im turning it into a cafe. This is my first bike. I have painted the frame and tank. I took off all fenders and unnecessary parts. I bought straight handlebars for it and are wiring those up right now. The engine could use some tune up ideas to make it run better. Any simple suggestions would help a lot.
