well, i found an orange one off a 74 550… i guess they made the orange color 73 and 74.. so i snatch that up off ebay for $25. So for time being I’m going to be running mis matched side covers, but now i’m hoping to find an original orange right side one and be all set.

I also got my eye on a set of side panels with badges that are on ebay right now. They are a little beat up, but I may see if i can score them for less then $30 and then redo them.

The 500four is probably the best stock looking cb honda made. Way better looking than the stock 500t that’s for sure.

exactly… althought it had the terrible flame paint job, everything else is pretty clean, so I’m just going to leave it stock…

that 500 seems to be pretty solid now huh?
it looks real good. I like the idea of keeping it pretty close to stock. That’s how I feel about my 450.
