THIS IS A 1972 HONDA CB500 FOUR WITH ONLY 4713 MILES ON IT. K-1 EDITION! PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THIS BIKE HIDING AWAY IN HIS BASEMENT FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS. IT RAN PERFECT WHEN PUT AWAY. SINCE I PURCHASED IT I HAVE REPAINTED IT SATIN BLACK. ADDED CLUBMAN BARS WITH END OF BAR FOLDING MIRRORS. CLEANED THE CARBS. NEW BATTERY. I HAD IT ALMOST STARTED THE OTHER DAY,POURED SOME GAS INTO THE FUEL LINES- IT WANTS TO START, BUT IT NEEDS FRESH CONDENSORS. THE ONES ON IT ARE ORIGINAL AND THE SPARK IS KIND OF WEAK-HOWEVER, I HAVE ALREADY ORDERED A NEW POINTS CONDENSOR FULL PLATE AND I WILL INCLUDE IT WITH THE BIKE. ONCE YOU INSTALL IT AND SET THE POINTS IT WILL BE A RUNNER. YOU SHOULD ALSO PUT NEW PLUGS IN IT. I LENT SOMEONE MY THIN WALLED 18MM SPARK PLUG WRENCH AND NEVER GOT IT BACK SO I COULDNT CHANGE THEM.(NOTE TO SELF-STOP LENDING PEOPLE YOUR TOOLS!) WHAT STILL NEEDS TO BE DONE THAT I HAVENT HAD TIME TO DO: GO OVER THE FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM-IT NEEDS TO BE FLUSHED, CALIPER CLEANED, THE USUAL YOU WOULD DO TO ANY OLD HONDA CALIPER THAT HASNT BEEN USED IN A LONG TIME. IT WILL NEED THE NEW POINTS PLATE INSTALLED- I ALREADY ORDERED IT AND WILL INCLUDE IT WITH THE BIKE. THE ELECTRIC STARTER WORKS, BUT YOU WILL NEED TO GRIND A LITTLE PAINT OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE HANDLEBARS TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE TRIPLE TREE FOR IT TO WORK. THE NEW BARS ARE POWDER COATED AND DONT GROUND TO THE TRIPLE TREE-SHOULD TAKE YOU 10 MINUTES TO BARE THE METAL UNDER THE KNURL WHERE IT TOUCHES THE TRIPLE TREE. THE FUEL LINES NEED TO BE ATTACHED TO THE PETCOCK. THE TANK IS CLEAN INSIDE. THE CHROME IS VERY DECENT FOR A BIKE THIS OLD-SEE PICS. ALL ELECTRICS, BINKERS WORK EXCEPT THE HORN- PROBABLY JUST NEED TO CLEAN THE CONTACTS IN THE BUTTON. BIKE WAS ALWAYS KEPT INSIDE- NOTE THE CHERRY RED TACHOMETER- NO SUN FADE. THIS BIKE HAS ONLY 4700 MILES ON IT SO IT HAS YEARS OF LIFE LEFT IN IT. TITLE IS CLEAR N.J. TITLE-ITS A LITTLE TATTERED LOOKING BUT ITS CLEAR WITH ALL NUMBERS CLEARLY VISIBLE- I TOOK A PIC AND BLOCKED OUT THE NAME SO YOU COULD SEE IT. PROBABLY BEST TO PUT SOME TAPE ON IT. I HAVE IT IN A PLASTIC FOLDER TO KEEP IT FLAT AND STRAIGHT. I AM SELLING THE BIKE AS IS AS DESCRIBED. THIS IS A HARD TO FIND CLASSIC HONDA CB500 FOUR K-1. RARE AND ONLY GOING UP IN VALUE.
