Hi from Alberta
« on: December 11, 2020, 07:39:45 AM »
Hi everyone. I’ve just started a restore of a 1972 CB500K. It’s my first Honda project after a few euro projects. I’m going for as near stock as reasonable. It’s a pretty rough start - it had been in a bit of a crash but luckily no frame damage. Looking forward to doing the original candy green!

Welcome to the fun (madness?)!
I'm impressed that you can work in your garage in winter up there: mine is freezing cold down here!

Welcome. That'll be a fun project and a fun ride too. Looks like it has good bones and not as rough as some I've seen. Hope you have a warm shop to work on it over the winter there.
