New Member Introductions / Hello from Glasgow.
« on: May 08, 2023, 04:03:55 PM »
Hello all.
I bought a 1972 CB500 four back in November last year as a bit of a project. Unfortunately I know very little about bikes (always been cars) as can maybe be gleaned from my purchase - US nonrunner, extended forks, strange handle bars, 16in rear wheel, few bits missing etc.
I've made a bit of progress, mainly thanks to this and other forums and it looks like Ive got some missing bits from forum members as well. Frame, wheels, forks, instruments, carbs and saddle done and the tank is off for sealing. Getting to the hard bits now and am currently working on the clutch and engine, so Ill have some questions that maybe someone can help me with I'm sure. Meantime, best regards and many thanks for the invite to the forum.
