The Harley-Davidson CB 500 is an unusual bike – produced for just one year, it was the result of taking the 500cc engine from Harley’s “C” model and sticking it in the frame of their “B” model, which normally utilized a 350cc engine. Consider it a rare factory hotrod? As far as I can tell, just 150 of these were built (though the seller suggests that the number is actually 310).
This specific CB 500 (VIN: 34CB1324) has been with the seller for 15 years. It has been restored, and the seller believes the headlight, horn cover, rear stand, exhaust are repro. The carb will need to be rebuilt, but the bike has great compression and has spark. Find it for sale in Louisville, Kentucky with bidding up to $10,100 and the reserve not yet met
