Default TX500 Cafe

well got a 74' TX500 FAST LITTLE BIKE!
- I am going to CAFE this sucker very traditional
*since this picture i have removed the front fender (it will become my rear fender on my bobber project, added the clubman bars, removed the rear fender and all the lights except for the headlight, set the timeing on the points and carbs... got it running (did not run for about 8 years) this bike was made for 2 short years and handles like NOTHING else i have rode... the prev owner was going to start to work on it so he put on new wheel bearings, tires, and bandged the exhaust (totally shot)
i have alot to do on it but it will take a back seat to my current bobber... just something to keep me occupied after the bob/cafe is finished... i am going to make this sucker so i can CUT some serious turns... thought i would share!... Know it is not a HD so i only will post one pic

* I also picked up a 3 place motorcycle trailer from some guy we met in the city! this thing is awesome!!! going to rino liner the whole thing wiht baby moons... post pics on that later

Cool little bike . I saw a old dirt bike set up with good suspention and sticky tires at the dragon a couple years ago and one of the regulars said he was a monster in the curves there. Good luck.

Cool bike. In the UK classic bikes are all the rage. Always had a yen a 75' R90 BMW in orange. Your bike will be great to blast about on and you will get lots of attention.

I'd love to build a CB 750 chop someday....but I hate multiple carbs.

Well Joe, I've gotta say... you've truly inspired me brotha! I'm getting myself a Honda CB 750 in the next week or two! Thanks for your help man..

And awesome ride too bro. Can't wait to see what you turn that thing into.
