cb 500 getting closer

This is how she looks as of now. This is the second summer for this bike, and so far no issues. I adjusted the valves last weekend and gained 20 pounds of compression, ran great before, now she's even nicer. Great little engines, way ahead of their time.

The only changes so far are-I laced a 21" to the front, and kept the 18" in the back.I'm deciding if i want to shorten a girder i have and run it on this, or ditch the springs on the front and put new fork seals in it?????? What to do, what to do.......oy yeah and a different mirror.

We have had a shitty weather asummer so far, ( only one or two good weeks for the whole spring and summer so far..)

Cheer,
