Teds new project a CB500 K1 mostly version 0.5 circa 1972.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Fueled by Cider & a can of Mango flavoured Gin & Tonic I've had one last search - I found the missing brake pedal return spring in a box I had looked through at least 4 times that mainly contained old 400 parts!
That just leaves one gearshift fork spring left to find that against all logic shot into the air as I was dismantling the gearbox - at least you can buy them cheap enough from Mr Silver.
Grasshoper will sleep well tonight oh venerable sohc Master.
Bryanj:
Ted, remember the first thing on the line is that spring andoperating arm, you cant get it in after swingarm fittedtee shirt and video!
Sesman:
Looking great Ted and you must be pleased with your progress. Just one observation on the powder coat job, which looks mighty fine by the way. Is that surface corrosion on the bottom r/h side rail between the foot rest and lower engine mount or just an optical illusion? Just wondering about a potential structural weak point in the frame that I have absolutely no knowledge off, but others on the forum may wish to comment…..just in the interests of safety you understand.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I'm pretty sure it's a combination of poor lighting & odd reflections.
I will look again and post a better picture - the frame looks like a scrapper when you zoom in. :-\
It was mainly dust plus copperslip you can still see some of it - there not dents in the tubing its a reflection of the rubber mat!
