Honda cb500

by joe mc donald Fri 05 Nov 2021, 4:27 pm

Right i now have the bits to get this bike back on the road. A good usable faring from Roy Thompson and a dark green tank from Barrie Turner won't be spraying it. Don't know if these chaps are members but my sincere thanks to them I am now treating the tank with slosh ethanol treatment and other little jobs and will keep on till the bike is sold or back on the road. The bike is mot'd till next year and i have every mot showing 9000 miles are correct. It has a new chain and it runs so sweet. It can come with the old fairings and tank if wanted. The best offer to £1000 get the bike. But i will listen to any offer if sensible.

Further to my mail above i have now two running bikes and want to sell one to fund work on my Triumph T140. The one above JCA has now a green tank the only one i could find but it looks alright on the Black bike. The tank has been treated with ethanol proof sealer to protect it. And both bike are around the 9000 miles mark. I am prepared to sell any one to the closest offer to £1000 pounds Both are on the road and legal and hopefully will run for ever an a day. The other 03 model here does need a new chain. The one above is a 2000 model. Any questions answered asap. Joe

Sorry that is the only pictures i have at present. The bike is very presentable and does everything it is supposed to do. It is very clean but not showroom clean the wheels are good the shocks are good and have just been serviced. It now has a new chain. And 20 minutes ago i have just changed the oil and filter. But i did lie a little as the tyres are almost on their limit and i won't change them till after Christmas. As from the 1st Dec i intend to ride the faired model. I would replace the mirrors as the look tatty not rusted just not right should be black i was going to spray them. It has a little scrape on the grab rail. It is a quite engine and never has let me down. The price is fixed i am afraid and only because it is winter and bikes don't sell very well. Next spring i will want £1900 what i paid for it or i will keep it as i do love the bike but don't need two. Joe.
