main stand
neat street:
Hi all, does the CB500 four have a main stand stop? I have tried to look at the drawings and cant see one? the problem is the main stand is rubbing on the chain? nowhere near running yet, but want to sort some of the basics. thank you in advance. John
Nurse Julie:
The original stop was on the original exhaust. You will have to make a bracket up with a rubber stop for a non standard exhaust.

Thanks Julie, at present it does not have an exhaust, will need to get one once I know it runs and no real issues :-)
thank you for your help and reply.... any ideas on best exhaust system? DS or other??
Oddjob:
Best exhaust for the 500 is the original 4 into 4 but that may be unsuitable for the type of bike your building.
Next best is a Yoshimura system but good luck finding one of those.
After that it comes down to personal choice, the Delkevic gets good reviews and it's stainless I believe, Motad are no longer produced but they are still around second hand.

Thanks Odd job, will do some looking around, but doubt I will see an original anywhere soon :-) .. DSS do a replica 4 into 4, but not sure if its the best option as there are a couple of others out there, could all be from the same source?
