I'm selling my 1971 Honda CB500.It has been rebuilt and customized over the years all by trade professionals, i.e. not a home build project bike. Everything I can think of saying about it is below, if you have any other questions or request feel free to contact me. Most of the bike has been customized in the Japanese Brat/Cafe style its a very strong running and driving bike, very light and fast for a 500 with comfortable cruising at 30 or 70 mph. It starts right up in good weather and needs a little choke if cold, it rides and shifts great and stops on a dime.The engine is standard '71 CB500 setup with the exception of K&N filters and custom 4 to 1 exhaust purchased new from "dimecitycycles", its got the classic honda trumpet sound (see video) but you can pull the baffling from the muffler fairly easily if you want straight pipes. The motor was rebuilt by the previous owner and I had it recently checked to be in good working order with great compression, he found no issues with the drive train.Electrical and charging system has been gone through and updated to support the Ballistic 8 cell lithium battery, daytime running head & tail light and aftermarket controls.The tank was professionally cleared, resealed and the emblems shaved prior to painting.The gauges work, mileage is actual to the best of my knowledge and I can't pin point the motor rebuild because I don't have docks but my mechanic tells me it can't be more than 7500 miles.Clip on bars, awesome seat and seat pan with a custom aluminum box under to hold wiring and battery, its also got both the side and center stand. EMAIL ME FOR A VIDEO LINK OF START, WALK AROUND AND ENGINE REV. See the photos for minor chips in paint. Other than those chips there is wear as expected for a 43 year old bike, its a driver not a show bike you'll get compliments and inquiries wherever you go. Its currently registered as a collector vehicle in Washington State with a clear title, vin, and motor # inspected by the state patrol this month. Payment must be made within 72 hours of purchase, please do not waste my time if you're not ready to buy.Ask before you buy, all sales are final and the bike is as is no warranty (just like any classic vehicle) but I promise you'll love it.Buyer is responsible for shipping setup and payment. I will make sure I'm available with reasonable notice to accommodate shipper or local pickup.
