Interchangeability / CB100N

Hi. Been looking hard but found nothing on whether the engine mounts or frame changed on later models i.e. could I take a later/earlier engine from another bike and install it in an '87 frame for example?  PS. My CB500 Four K0 is now on ebay with spare frame. Cheers Scott

Hi, just gauging interest before I stick on ebay. Reg 10-Jun-1972, V5 in my name. Bought from Uncle. Bit of a basket case. Bought a US import frame which is in great condition, which I naively thought I could transfer all the bits to. Anyway, was advised to save the original frame if possible. Long story short, after spraying it in copious amounts of GT85, I've decided that this is a bridge too far for my skills and spare time. Just want back what I paid for it. I paid £300 for bike, also got a box of rusy bits, including chain, clutch, engine casings, kick start and gear selector. Also got tank but no seat. I paid £300 for bike and £290 for the spare frame (with Nova cert). Looking to sell bike and frame together. Bike SORN. Any interest? I can provide more/better pics on request. Gonna get an easier project for my first resto. Cheers, Scott 07814 322924 PS. All I can tell you about the history is that my Uncle acquired it 30 years ago as a runner, having done 65,000 miles.

CB500/550 / Engine cleaning CB500 Four 1972
« on: October 12, 2021, 09:52:59 PM »
Not sure if this is a Project Board item. Just bought a project, a complete bike with a complete spare 550 engine. I'll probably sell on the 550 engine.

Would appreciate your advice on the best method of cleaning the 500 engine, to obtain the best original finish. My plan is to remove the engine and strip it fully. Is vapour blasting recommended?

Thanks,
Scott

CB500/550 / CB500 Frame differences U.S. vs UK

Hi there. Apologies in advance if this question has been asked already, I did a search on 'frames' and a lot came back :D.

Anyone  know of any frame differences between a UK bike registered 01 Jun 1972 and U.S. frames 1971-176?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi all. I own a KTM 790 Duke and have just acquired a CB500 Four 1972 which I want to restore. The rear foot rest brackets have corroded. Any suggestions for alternatives, I'm thinking maybe I can fabricate a couple.  Thanks Scott
