Value of CB500K1 NOS Tank and Nice Original Paint Side Panels Candy Custom Gold?
Laverda Dave:
If I was doing a 500K1 rebuild Ash I'd have them off you like a shot and I'd pay what ever the market price was and likely a bit more as I'd know they have come from somebody who has looked after them properly and they haven't been sitting in a damp shed.
Alas a 500 rebuild isn't on my radar (I don't even have a 500 project lurking in the garage/shed or neighbours garage). The next one on the bench will be the NC30 probably followed by a CB250RSA for when I become too weak to hold up the VFR 😉.
Good luck with the sale and I think you will no doubt get a few bites as we approach winter and the restoration season begins in earnest 👍

Sorry Ash, no idea of the value but they look absolutely stunning and good luck with finding an owner. I would buy them but within six months they would be in a terrible state I am sure, not that good at keeping things shiny.
Many years ago, in the eighties, I bought a new old stock cb350k tank from Dave Silvers' stand at the NEC, to replace the original one I had which was leaking. Sadly, it just looked wrong on the bike, too clean and shiny. Sacrilege I know, but I ended up painting it black with a spray can so it blended in better with my bike. I would never do that again and feel rather regretful. I should have kept it and sold it now, would be worth quite a lot.
Oddjob:
I’d say about 1300 Ash. Menno charges more but then again he has to source a tank etc, prep and paint it and make a profit, in fact I’d say his paintwork is superior to the Honda one.
I may be interested, shame it’s not the green set, I’d have bought that.
