CB500 K1 Rebuild

<< < (6/8) > >>

Laverdaroo:
Great build, it looks brilliant, uyou must be really chuffed? Which exhaust is that, different from the norm and suits it really well, and teh shocks.

Another one on the road, well done.

Nurse Julie:
That looks great Charlie and looks a real fun bike to ride. Well done for saving her. Enjoy.

Charlie J:
Thanks to all for the kind remarks. It’s certainly a nice feeling to have rescued the bike from turning into a complete rust heap. The sound of the engine firing up on the first press of the button after the rebuild was music to my ears. Just need to get the brake drum sorted now.

For those that asked:-

Clocks were dirt cheap from EBay but look good, work fine and seem to be of decent quality. Here’s a link for where I got the rev counter from. I think I got the speedo from the same place.

Sesman:
Cheers, Charlie.

Laverdaroo:
Brilliant, cheers Charlie. Am I right in saying that the 500 pipes will fit the 550 then?

Mine is too far 'passed it' to restore so its going to be a resto mod like yours but love the pipe, I'd forgotten about Marving and to be fair not having done heaps of research yet as haven't needed to, I'm liking the idea of those pipes rather than mine which although standard are a bit jaded to say the least and the PO has had the grinder to them already. Might be an easy win for me.

Cheers
