Carbs have been rebuilt and pod foam filters added. The bike has new tires and tubes. There are many custom items including seat, rear cowl, battery box and wire harness tray.

Perhaps a mistake at the DMV. The title numbers match the V.I.N. , make, and model. just wanted to clear that up I don't believe they made a 1978 CB500. Thanks, sorry for the misprint. On Dec-16-10 at 09:03:44 PST, seller added the following information: I have relisted the bike becase (WHATBUMP 42) thought the mileage said 1500 instead of 15000 on this vintage 70's model bike. I personally would not cut on a bike, decreasing the value, that only had 1500 miles on it. So be sure you know what you are buying, please look at the photos and ask questions unlike WHATBUMP 42 who asked absolutely no questions at all. Ask as many questions as you want about the bike, I will answer them all. Thank you for looking.
