Honda CB description

1972 Honda CB500 Four

This is a one of a kind, brat style, custom bike, she gets compliments everywhere she goes. Starts and runs strong. Both electric and kick start functioning perfectly. Custom paint, really adds to the "vintage" style, sort of a patina look. Lots of new parts / work done. List includes: 
• upgraded H4 headlight, much brighter than stock 
• upgraded LED turn signals 
• upgraded LED brake/running lights 
• new Biltwell oxblood colored grips, they look awesome on the bike, comfy too 
• carbs recently sync'd and tuned 
• aftermarket Uni pod filters 
• new clutch and cable 
• new K&N oil filter and seals 
• new fuel petcock 
• new fork seals 
• new oil pan gasket 
• Anti Gravity lithium ion, low profile, battery with trickle charger 
• custom seat with bungee strap (for hauling smaller items) 
• new front brake caliper and brake line 
• new front tire wheel bearings 
• new mirrors 
• newer adjustable rear shocks 
• custom green backlighting for speedo and RPM gauges 
• 4 into 1 exhaust with wrapped pipes 
• tires are like new, lots of tread left 

The bike is 43 years old. As with any old bike, or car, it will take some occasional tweaking here and there to keep everything in order. I am also including digital copies of the owner's manual, shop service manual, parts list and, wiring diagram as these are good resources to have. 

The bike is in great shape but does have a few minor things to point out. Nothing major, just want to list everything I know of in the name of full disclosure. 
1. Kill switch on the handlebars does not work. I bumped it off while riding a few times so I just disconnected it. No big deal, just turn the key off when you want to shut her down. 
2. Original wiring to turn signal dash light was not compatible with new LED turn signals. Consequently, that light on the dash gauge does not work. 
3. Small bubbling occurred on right side of fuel tank. I removed bubbles and repainted that area of the tank. The fix is visible but I left it as is, I think it adds to the "garage/custom" look of the bike. 

This is a really neat, custom, brat style bike. An absolute blast to ride around on. Take care of her and she will last another 43 years. 

Bike is listed for sale locally, I reserve the right to end auction early if bike sells.

Results From Day 2 Of World Superbike Testing At Phillip Island

Tue, 18 Feb 2014

World Superbike testing at Phillip Island came to a close today, and when the dust settled, reigning champion Tom Sykes stamped his authority, setting the fastest time of the test at 1:30.239, just five thousandths shy of the outright lap record held by Carlos Checa. The time was set during the morning session of testing, though nobody was able to best Sykes for the remainder of the day. Eugene Laverty, who was fastest on day one, showed his pace was no fluke as he stayed near the top of the time sheets, ultimately finishing second behind Sykes, with a best time of 1:30.513.
