Hey Thomas, this is another work of art Masterpiece!!However, as much as i absolutely love the clean sexy lines & appointments on the CB500's...they still needed atleast 8 to 10 more HorsePower as the power to weight ratio was quite poor HOWEVER having said that...it drove & rode very smooth but still needed a BigBore kit up to 547cc!!!
hey i came across one that is a little beat up but imma get it next to notinng i was wondering if u can tell if possible how much it costs u and was it hard to get any of the parts
thanks a lot for your message. Can´t hardly tell about the costs, but it`s easy to spend 3 or 4 thousend dollars or even more for a full restoration. Best part sources are ebay, CMS
in the netherlands and david silver spares in England.
thanks a for your very kind comment. Well, all these old carbs are special, but don´t let your head hang down, I´m shure you will get it syncd soon, maybe a full set of
Keyster jets and needles, floatvalves etc... should solve your problem.
these bikes stock are so ugly..... or so i thoght this is amazing. looks great. have the same thing but cant get the carbs to cooperate. just chasing my tail with them.
I have the same bike. Loved riding it until someone hit me with her car. In two months I'm starting the rebuild. Where did you get that exhaust? Can I order it online somewhere? I love it!
Hi Kris, thank you very much for your very nice comment about my CB 500.
Well the restoration was all done by myself, except the enginge, the carburator
overhaul and the paint job. Most chromeparts are new, as well as most of the electric and cable stuff.
Costs of restauration like this are quite high, especially if you want everything in original quality and look. I cant tell you the exact ammount, i never counted it out, but
aprox. € 3000,-- should come near, plus the bike itself..
hey. i love your motorcycle, as well as all honda cb's from the seventies.
have you restored it yourself? how much work is that? is it possible for amateurs (people with little or no experience with mechanics) to restore a bike like this?
nice nice i have 7 bikes and only one cx 500 honda but someone is giving me one of these tommorrow for free .. no tittle and sitting for 7 yrs. but it cant be as bad as a kz 750 16 yrs. in a barn restoration
Fabulous ! If you're as handsome as your bike, women everywhere must be creaming their underwear. Easy on those revs with no load on the engine though !
That's a stunner! you have done a beautiful job of restoring this CB, sounds amazing! That paint colour is superb, reminds me of the green colour of benelli and VanVeen bikes from the seventies. :-)
Hi there,
I have done nothing to it, sorry. It is still looking like it was in original.
If I clean the engine I use some engine cleaner from the german supplier Louis.
Best regards, four fourever.
