Hello folks
« on: May 07, 2020, 08:59:51 PM »
Hi All,

I'm new to this forum and rebuilding motorcycles. I've decided to take on a 1972 CB 500 as my second restoration. My first was a 1981 Yamaha SR250 that I brought back from the dead and made a little lightweight cafe bike. This CB I'm attempting to do a restoration but finding the bike I got was more of a donor bike than a complete one. Anyway happy I found this place as it's been a wealth of information and looking forward to learning more about these bikes during this restoration.

If it sounds like I know what I'm talking about, it's because I cut and pasted from someone else.
