1973 Honda CB

Clear

1973 Honda CB500 Four Running, complete and original with 8.351 miles. Same owner since 1985 Previous owner was trying to build a chopper out of it so I had to save this little gem. Bike was garage kept and not used since 1985. I slowly brought it back to original condition using (few) original parts removed by previous owner and parts that I bought along the way. My goal was to use original parts to make it look as mother Honda made it. The engine sounds strong and it looks pretty nice. It was sitting in my garage since a year now and I am starting a new project.Thank to the last weekend Michigan weather I took the bike out of the garage and below you can find couple videos: - Cold starting after 1 year: https://youtu.be/LdIO465-wqA- Idle and bike tour: https://youtu.be/xApX2dJh3Po This is what I have done to the bike: - New spark plugs - Original carbs were replaced with clean, original ones from a 1972 CB500 Four - Electrical system was a mess. Everything works now as it should except front turn signals (missing the ground) and back turn signals. - Cleaned the fuel tank with "evapo-rust". the original paint is overall great except little fading on top of the tank. - replaced the ugly chopper bars with its original ones. - replaced the super-ugly double headlights with the original one - electric start was broken. replaced the whole right switch. - throttle cables - ignition switch - forks boots - replace master cylinder and now both Brakes work (also flushed and oil replaced) - Clutch work (adjusted) - Gears works (tried first and second gear on side stand) - side covers are perfect. - exhaust is overall very solid except the upper right pipe which is rusted pretty bad. Since the other 3 pipes are great I planned to replace just the bad one but I didn't have luck so far to find one. - replaced the "chopper" seat with an original one that is in very nice condition with no holes or rips. It is missing the bracket pins. 2 keys and Clean Michigan title.Rust and chrome: the overall condition of the bike is very good. there is light rust and chrome condition is very good. It is a "museum" bike?!? no, it isn't. Bike is for sale locally so I may end this ad before its duration. Please feel free to contact me if you have any question. Please note: I tried to describe the motorcycle with honesty and at the best of my skills but please note that I am a motorcycle enthusiast and not a mechanic.
