Well all the black bits are back from powder coating, so I can start the rebuild. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]


Trouble is I seem to have accidentally bought another one. Thanks Graham.

The next project is home, but will just be stored away till the 550 is finished. It came from a great guy called Collin who I have advised to join up on here as he has to give up bikes and has A LOT
of SOHC stuff to get rid off. Including some complete bikes plus loads of hard to get stuff. [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

500 this time eh Gary, well done. By far the best looking of the mid range Hondas of that era.

Reflectors say a K0 model, if so the seat is different than the rest of the 500s.

Good luck with the build.

Most likely a US import with a reg corresponding to it's age before DVLA decided to do the 1st Jan thing.

The dating service from the VJMC says its a 1971 CB 500 for general export, no mention of model.
When the previous owner bought it it had a k reg plate but when he applied for a V5 the DVLA said they had no record of it and issued a new J reg plate.
The V5 now states "declared manufactured 1971, former keepers 0.

Getting it back to standard will be a massive money pit so this will probably be the mild custom Ive been threatening to do.

That’s a van full of treasure bud. What a great starting point for a great build. You should be chuffed with that
