Hey
« on: June 13, 2015, 10:57:50 PM »
Hi all,

Been a lurker for some time so thought it's time to introduce myself.
Got myself a '71 CB500 K0 spread about the garage and may need some help from you lovely folk to put it back together.  :-[

Cheers,
Tim

Cheers Bitsa. Glad to hear I'm in the right place. Took reference pictures during dismantling then went and lost my phone right before I start to put it back together  :o  so the expertise here will be very helpful.

Welcome to the mad world of the SOHC. Not a easy bike to restore, those KO's were all over the states but, few in the UK. Enjoy  ;)
