CB500/550 / What model of cb500
« on: March 01, 2011, 04:06:14 PM »
I have just bought a cb500 four as my first project bike and need to know the actual model I have. The bike has an engine number that starts with CB500E 10 which is k0 according to this site but the frame starts with CB500 20 which is k1 is this normal or do I have an engine from a different bike in my frame?
I posted this over on sohc4.net before realising there was a uk only forum. They reckon that it's normal for these bikes to have mismatched engines and frames and I shouldn't worry. Is this something anyone else has encountered? I dont have any history on the bike as the PO says it's a barn find so any insight would be greatly appreciated.
