[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]For sale is my 1973 sunburst orange CB500. Bike runs good and is very reliable. I am simplifying my life drastically and have to sell some stuff, otherwise i would keep it. It needs the plugs changed and a spring time oil change. Since i bought it i have had the following done. 1. New Bridgestone Battlax BT45 tires on the font and rear. ($240) 2. New Chain and front and rear sprockets ($125) 3 New Ebc brake pads up front and totally flushed and fresh fluid.($40) 3. New Wheel Bearings in the back as they were shot ($50) 4. New Battery ($20) 5. Complete going over by a professional bike mechanic that fixed all the little annoying issues the bike used to have. ($600) I am looking for $1200 for the bike and I am firm on that. Tire kickers don’t even bother. ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y39/ecoshardcore/DSC02421.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y39/ecoshardcore/DSC02421.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y39/ecoshardcore/DSC02422.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y39/ecoshardcore/DSC02422.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y39/ecoshardcore/DSC02420.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y39/ecoshardcore/DSC02420.jpg) ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y39/ecoshardcore/DSC02417.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y39/ecoshardcore/DSC02417.jpg) [/FONT] ---
