CB500T - The Resurrection

After reassembling the 450/500T frankenstein, I was left with alot of spare parts, and the remains of the 500T parts bike. I didn't have any takers on craigslist, so rather than scrap it all or have it clutter up my shop, I decided to reuse all the leftovers to build a new race chassis. I have no idea what I will use it for, or even what kind of fuel it will run on, but at least it puts alot of junk to good use!

The hulk

Stripping the front forks.

Pressing in new fork seals


1 down, 1 to go

Forks, new tire, and center stand

Rebuilt a spare wheel and installed. All that's left is a new tire, reinstall the fender, and I can put it in storage.
