This past weekend I was able to ride the CB500K out to my garage post-sale. With the tires 30+ years old (dry and cracking) I wasn't going to risk too much in terms of any knee grinding maneuvers.
I was able to however hit some decent potholes on the way home. This gave me a good first impression on what I need to work on. The front forks seem to hit a ceiling on the rebound. A couple of things I could imagine would be:
Rebound is set too high
Oil need replacement
Springs need adjusting/replacing
I ordered a new set of Dunlop K71's (cheap I know - but new!) which should give me a little more confidence after I break them in after 100 miles...
Also scored exhaust wrap and carb sync tools...
I'm looking forward to this project as well as fixing up the CB750K ... which is still debatable...
