Title: Gday from WA!
Post by: AndyH on April 21, 2017, 10:35:53 AM: Gday all!

I live in Perth, Western Australia and have recently acquired a '72 CB500/4 which is currently in cafe racer style. I've decided to take the challenge and revert it to stock.

Have been riding bikes since the mid 60s.....lots of brands, some better than others! ;D

Cheers
Himble (Andy)

Thanks James, look forward to the banter mate! ;D
BTW I'm sure K2s are great bikes, but mine's a K1! :P :P

Post by: JamesH on April 23, 2017, 06:53:43 PM: Ha ha, K1's are even better (especially the sound of HM300's on full-chat). Enjoy.

Post by: hairygit on April 23, 2017, 07:59:07 PM: How do you get HM300's to fit a 500K1 then James??? :o :o

Post by: JamesH on April 23, 2017, 08:24:06 PM: Ha ha that'll teach me to read the thread properly. Back in my box. Although, I bet HM300's would sound nice on a 500 ...
