1972 Honda CB

HERE I GOT A VERY NICE SUPER POPULAR AND GETTING MORE RARE DUE TO THE DEMAND OF THESE AWESOME STYLE BIKE. AND GROWING CAFE AND BOBBER BUILDS. THE 1972 HONDA CB500 FOUR CYLINDER, THE GOOD ONE. ITS A SHAME WITH ONLY 28K BUT THE BIGGEST AND FOREMOST PROBLEM TO MENTION IS AFTER I FOUND THIS BEAUTY SLEEPING IN A HEATED BASEMENT I TORE INTO THE OBVIOUS AND GOT HER RUNNING AGAIN AND ALOT MORE I WILL MENTION, ONLY TO GO FOR A RIDE AND FIND THAT THE HEAD GASKET IS LEAKING OIL. SO I PARKED HER AGAIN AND NO TIME TO FIX RIGHT NOW. GASKETS ARE ONLY LIKE 58 BUCKS FOR HONDA OEM ONES AND EVEN LESS FOR OTHERS SO MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN IF YOUR HANDY OR TAKE TO SHOP.THEY ARE NOT REAL BAD TO PUT IN FROM I HEAR, I NEVER HAD TO YET. THE OTHER WORST THING ABOUT IT AS YOU CAN SEE IS THE TANK PAINT IS SHOT, A DENT IN THE TANK AND THE INSIDE WAS CREEMED BEFORE BUT DONT LOOK REAL GREAT, BUT HAS NO LEAKS , I RODE IT FOR A FEW MILES AFTER ALL ELSE I DID. AND IT WENT DOWN ROAD GOOD AND SEEMED TO BE RUNNING GREAT, JUST SEEMED A LITTLE LOW ON POWER THEN THATS WHEN I NOTICED THE OIL ON FINS OF HEAD. THIS BIKE IS IN NICE ORIGINAL SHAPE OVERALL BESIDES THIS. HAS A FEW SCRATCHES AND DINGS BUT NICE BIKE FOR THE YEAR... HAS ELECTRIC AND KICK START. BOTH WORK GREAT. SO I REBUILT THE CARBS, IT HAS BRAND NEW BATTERY, BRAND NEW TIRES. STAINLESS UPPER FRONT BRAKE LINE. NEW CLUTCH CABLE.....REMOVED CLEAR FROM SIDE CASES AND POLISHED THEM AND UPPER ENGINE COVERS TOO.. AS YOU CAN SEE ITS A PRETTY SHARP BIKE OTHER THEN THE TANK IS UGLY. YEA JUMPED THE GUN I GUESS, MY PLAN WAS TO GET PAINTED AND ALL BEFORE SELLING BUT THE GASKET SLOWED ME DOWN, MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN.THE BIKE STARTS A LITTLE HARD DUE TO LEAK BUT IT RUNS AND SOUNDS GREAT, REVS NICE AND ALL EVEN AS IS. SOUNDS NICE WITH SOME AFTER MARKET 4-INTO 2 EXHAUST THAT IS PRETTY NICE OVERALL WITH SOME RUST ON INNER SIDES OF HEADERS. ALL LIGHTS AND GAUGES WORK, FRONT HYDRAULIC BRAKES WORK GOOD, REAR GOOD TOO,DRUM. FRONT FENDER HAS A DENT IN CORNER OF FRONT, OTHERWISE NICE. SIDE COVERS BOTH HAVE SOME CRACKS, ALL EMBLEMS PRETTY GOOD. SEAT IS IN AWESOME SHAPE AND OEM. CLUTCH WORKS GOOD AND IT SHIFTS FINE. SOME MINOR PITTING ON SIGNALS ON CHROME, REAR FENDER PRETTY NICE. NEEDS A AIR FILTER TOO.TIMING COVER HAS A FEW DINGS. I ALREADY PUT ALOT OF TIME AND MONEY IN BIKE AND HAS A TON OF POTENTIAL, BUT GOOD FOR YOU TO GET CHEAPER AS IS. !! I HAVE SEEN ALOT OF THESE SELL FOR WELL OVER $1,500 WITH ALOT MORE MILES, AND WITH NO NEW PARTS AND TIRES AS THIS AND THEY STILL NEED PAINT AND SUCH, SO YOU COULD MAKE SOME MONEY TOO IF YOUR MECH. INCLINED, MY RESERVE IS VERY LOW AS-IS. WHEELS ARE VERY NICE FOR THE YEAR WITH A FEW LIGHT RUST SPOTS AND A FEW RUSTY SPOKES, BUT SHINE VERY NICE AND NO PITTING. THATS ABOUT IT, BIKE HAS A TON OF POTENTIAL AND LIKE I SAID IS READY IN EVERY OTHER WAY, TO MAKE ALL ORIGIANAL AND RESTORE , JUST NEEDS THAT HEAD GASKET PUT IN AND OR GREAT BASE TO BUILD A BOOBER OR CAFE RACER AND OR IF YOU GOT A GOOD ENGINE AND BENT FRAME ETC ETC... I DONT WANNA PART OUT A COOL VINTAGE BIKE LIKE THIS SO SOMEBODY FIX HER UP !! VERY FAIR LOW RESERVE... GOOD VINTAGE CRUISER AT A GOOD FAIR LOW RESERVE DONT MISS...
