Up for sale here is my 1973 Honda CB500 Four, this bike is an absolute blast to ride. It is heavily modified so make sure it's something you want before bidding on it. I set it up to be sort of a vintage salt flats/land speed racing type bike. Modifications include: Frame rails under the seat were sectioned and angled to drop the seat position down 3"-4.5" total lowering in the front-3" dropped rear shocks-Clip on bars with new vintage grips (each bar was shortened 3"-Hand made seat and p pad-Removed speedo, tach, turn signals, front brake, and one mirror (Still have all of these parts except the front brake that I can include with the bike if the buyer wants them)-Removed front fender and cut it up to make it the rear fenderEtc... When I bought the bike I took it apart and painted the wheels, fork lowers, drilled and painted the side covers, rebuilt the carbs with all new gaskets, jets, needles, and springs, and put new tires on it. They have around 5,000 miles on them now. Set the points, and adjusted the valves. Routine oil changes. New battery as of October this year. This bike is rough around the edges, but runs great. Fires first kick when it's about 50° out, and by the third kick when it's cold out (20°) I removed the electric start from the bike, it is kick start only. It's got a little bit of rust here and there, some scratches, a few dents on the tank, but it is mechanically sound and it's never broken down on me. I've put about 10,000 miles on it this year. Any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I have a ton of photos of it, so e-mail me and I'll send you more. Here is a video from December 2nd 2012 of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmQipNKp4VU&feature=youtu.be
