Finished up the fender mounts, the seat latch, the front fender rivets, and one of the two rear fender mounts. Got the headlight bracket made but not mounted. Still need a license plate bracket, a little stopper under the left muffler can for the center stand to rest against, a tunnel under the rear fender to house the tail light wire, and seal some holes on the fender to be done with fabrication.
The Honda CB500T Build goes on...
Getting some more done on the 1975 CB500T. An extra used stock muffler was aquired for its clamp. The new cans are in place, and the precise level of tilt decided. The rear end is off the bike in preparation for the fender relocation. The fender will be attached to the swingarm, and float just above the tire. The seat pan has been made and awaits some brackets.The front fender was shortened by taking out a segment in the middle and re-welding.
Found some before pics on the CB50 AC02.
Just some before pics to fill the time. The hardware is gone for zinc plating. An 82cc engine was purchased from a member on the minibike forum, and is on its way. Everything is just about ready to go for powdercoat, but it may still be a while as some of the last pieces are being sourced from the Netherlands.
