Description
1971 Honda 500 Four K0
I bought this bike as a USA import for restoration as detailed below.
I bought it primarily because of the great original condition of the paintwork and chrome.
Full strip down and rebuild
Rebuilt engine and gearbox (New Pistons and rings, all bearings replaced as needed including big end shells)
New Tyres and tubes
Repainted frame, swingarm etc
Refurbished carbs from Gerben in Holland who specialises in these carbs (these were £300 alone)
CMSNL replacement exhausts (£900 alone !!!!)
Chain and Sprockets
Swing arm bushes
Speedo and Rev counter profesionally refurbished
New clutch
Boyer Bransden electronic ignition and micro coils
Brake Lines
And lots of other small bits too numerous to mention
Piles of receipts as you can see
Comes with Haynes manual and original Honda parts lists
All chrome is original and does show some minor pitting on wheel rims as you would expect from a bike of this age.
This is not a concours bike but is in lovely condition, runs and rides well and gets admiring comments wherever it goes.
I have spent a lot of time and effort in to getting this bike to where it is and hope it can go to a new loving owner.
I am only selling because I don't use it enough
