Nice work on the paint. You may just want to hold on to the bike, though. You'll never really get the kind of money out of it that you put into it, or that you feel like is a fair price. Plus, it's pretty cool.

I'm not too far from you, though. I'd love to come take a look some time just for kicks.

looks nice but your going to need to do alot more work on it to get 22oo ie. polish the $**** out that engine new exhaust, polish da crap out the crome. The cb500s will only fetch top dollar two ways, stock and clean, or cafe racer and PERFECT

i just need to get back what i have in it, i set the price a little higher for wiggle room , im loving how its turning out but unfortunately when i ride it im miserable , my legs are too long even with rearsets , ive owned and ridden many modern supersports so the racer ergos dont bother me but i just cannot adapt to this bike to be comfortable , instead of undoing all the work i made it to look good , i rather sell it so i can put money down on another bike that i can enjoy
