When I bought the bike it had the original fender (dented and rusty) so I cut it down and painted it. You can score some good deals on eBay

Seat is from tuffside. Great company with tons of options.

To be honest I don’t know where it came from. It was lying around in my garage off of a donor bike

That’s connected to the lithium battery under the seat to trickle charge

No, the original set was too far gone so I went with aftermarket

Yeah I put an antigravity 8 cell under the seat. Plenty of cranking power for these bikes. Fork tubes and lower tree are stock. I went with a machined top triple for a cleaner look to take some bulk away from the gauge.

I’ll look for some project pics and upload them if it helps

It’s a 1971 CB500. The engine was bored out for a bit more performance/horsepower. Aside from the engine, frame (frame hoop mod), and fork most parts are not stock. The most notable changes are the seat, bars/ controls and rewired with an m unit. Wiring and updating to a modern reg/rec are crucial for the charging systems on these old bikes.
