73' CB500 Four
« on: July 27, 2016, 06:15:22 PM »
I have finally put this bike back together almost completely.

Engine is mounted
wires are all ran through and attached to the frame.

I need to install:
turn signals
carbs (they are getting cleaned)
I ordered a new CL77 headlamp housing because the one I have is missing a receiver for a mounting bolt. Sure, I could JB weld some washers and a nut but I found another housing for 26 bucks so I just bought that to save time. Ill have to sand prime and paint it anyway.
side mounted/relocated tachometer
throttle and grips and cables.

I plan on handing this bike over to a mechanic as soon as I'm done with it to give it a once over and make sure everything is done properly...I don't really trust myself considering its the first time Ive ever touched a bike.

What do you guys think?
