Teds new project a CB500 K1 mostly version 0.5 circa 1972.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Most of the heavy throttle action was down to cable routing so that's one less item for now - needs a new throttle tube and grip for the rebuild but works well enough for now.
Nice chrome stopper in the handlebar end. - not sure if that's original.
Started first clean of the spare crank cases that Bryan has provided / lent me - boy was there some oil crud on the case halves. As I'm giving it some stiff brushing with petrol in a plastic box that the cases arrived in I realise petrol is leaking every where - the box has a split in the base!
Bryanj:
Knew i should have got better cables when i built it!
Sesman:
Ted, I may just have a spare throttle tube kicking about. Don’t buy before checking with me.

Thanks Philip,
I've not bought a replacement yet - can't believe the cost of the grips mine are not in great condition & will not come off the tube in one piece. Cheers Ted
Sesman:
Beware of non oem grips. Check the length before buying.
