Up for sale again. Ratty cafe CB500. Runs great. Has some aesthetic issues, but if you care you're a pussy. Buy this bike. 750 OBO

Also. I rebuilt a set of rims for it that are pictured below. It took considerable time to clear off all the rust off/paint/lace (and relace) those rims. Never want to do again. If you buy the bike we can work something out for the rims.

PM if you're interested.

Those rims are what, 18inch? I wonder if they'd swap to my yamaha.

I would say it depends on your wheel bearing and axle size.

Probably pictures of a small valve used to control the flow of liquid or gas.

Are you in fifth grade

That's pretty phallic man, I understand his concerns.
