Super N00b 71 CB500
« on: October 01, 2012, 08:06:01 AM »
What's up everyone. Chewy here from Maryland. I've loved motos from afar but just recently purchased a 71 CB500 that I plan to modernize and cafe. I have no riding experience but we'll work on that.  Really excited as I got a really good deal ($600) on the sale. The guy I bought it from is a tech at my friends shop and was planning on building a flat tracker. I just want something sleek with a retro modern feel. I've been doing my research for some years now. I'm sure I'll be asking lots of questions after using the SEARCH button lol.

Cheers!!

Nice to know i'm not the only N00B  8). This is how she sits at the moment. I'm in the design, research, idea mode. Going to work up some drawings of what I want. I'm pretty damn excited. Parts are CHEAP!!

Welcome guys, you got the right idea, use our awesome data base with research, tons of ideas here, then ask questions (but not about oil!)
