[@kevinjohnston4512]

Looks great.cant Wait to see it finished

[@Martin48964]

The frame looks excellent! I bet you're more than happy to have been able to sand blast it. It was good to see Kevin and Jeremy being part of the restoration of the CB500. I must say I'm also happy that I was able to help with the removal the engine from the frame. Not to much longer and she'll be back together and ready to ride. Good work my friend!

[@OldCarAlley]

Yep.... It had to be blasted. It was the only way the frame would ever look new again. By mid week I "hope" to start the reassembly.

Howard, you're doing high craft on a very worthy motorcycle! Those Honda 500 fours were the gold standard and respond well to restoration! That unit will run and look like new for many years to come! I love the personal touches like the polished edges on the exhaust flanges! Mega kudos!

[@OldCarAlley]

I think it will be a nice early 70's custom bike that will be a lot of fun to ride. It's been fun to add little custom ad ons here and there too.

That's looking slick ! The exhaust flanges look good also.

[@OldCarAlley]

With the black frame has silver engine, I thought it would look nice. Some chrome castle nuts will finish them off.

Looking fabulous. Sweet that had access to such a large blasting cabinet. I like the look of the exhaust flanges a lot. You are making more progress than I am on my '85 ZN1100. I am waiting for parts to arrive to undo error from a prior person's mistakes and resulting damage. Thank goodness for ebay. Once I confirm it runs (or not) I can ramp up the next steps.

[@OldCarAlley]

I know how that goes.... I need to order a few items for this bike. The needed gaskets for the engine should arrive tomorrow.
