1982 Honda Other

Clear

Here is a excellent example of this Honda Flat Tracker. The plastic, with 1 exception, is virtually perfect. The exception is a front fender 'scrape' (see Pics) . I have gone through the starting system; new relay,lubricated the whole system, cleaned the solenoid, and new battery. Re: brakes- the the front and rear master cylinders and calipers have been removed, cleaned, and tested for proper operation. The drive chain is an original, non O ring 530 chain and should be replaced. (There is an option many FT owners do -that is to replace the 530 with a 520 O-ring chain. This requires changing both sprockets as well.) Even the black chrome looks good but is pitted and the muffler also looks good but it is also pitted which is a better situation than what has occurred on similar 30+ year bikes. It's a quiet bike as well. The carb jetting has not been changed but I have the recommended jets should you wish to make the recommended change-it improves the bikes performance. The tires may very well be on a par with the chain i.e. 'Original' and even though the tread depth would qualify as legally acceptable . .the tires are too damn old. They're hard and one could probably polish them! You'll need to get some good modern rubber on the FT, seriously. Did I mention the mileage? 10,440-that's 475 mi/year! As you can see in the pictures the bike, form 10' away, presents as a new machine with younger riders, most of whom have never seen an FT500 wonder what it is plus with the current interest in creating custom Flat trackers from current and older bikes, the FT is already there. Nice old bike but I have plenty to keep me busy and I'm moving which almost requires me to sell some of them
