New winter project
My cb360 has been a blast, but since i’ve been doing more highway then I ever thought I would, I decided I should get a bigger bike. I settled on getting a cb500 four or cb550 four. I started looking month ago for a project bike but was having no luck but I finally found a pretty good deal.
Below is my new 1973 cb500 four… its been sitting (in garage) since 88′ so its going to need some serious TLC, but overall its in pretty good shape. Everything looks like its there and fixable, except for prehaps the tank. I’m pretty stoked to get working on this… and man look at the awesome paint job it came with!

Great Lakes tour – day 5
Destination – Sault Ste. Marie Things got real weird last night… Real weird. We met some random old dude named Leno on a harley at a strip club. He told us we could camp at his place… So we took him up on it. His place was on a bad ass lake. He’s basically bi-polar. […]
I’m pumped you got this!
Is that a second headlight upfront? someone tried real hard to make this look awful haha.

Great stuff…..can’t wait to see the ‘TLC’ progress!
That is awesome. If you get a new seat ill buy that one off you. What color is it?
Richard, you might want to see a color version of it first, its like red and silver with glitter!
Quick update, got the bike back to my place today. Didnt have much day light left but got a chance to take the tank off. Tons of gunk in it and the petcock is frozen on pretty good. I’m going to have to get some penetrating oil and try to get the bolts loose.
I think i’m going to have to replace the tank, which was something I was aware of ahead of time. Not only is it pretty rusted, it also feels flimsy on the top around the gas cap. Could this mean its rusted out on the top?
