The start of my cb500 three wheeler...updated

[jrwebb8324]

Thought i would post a pic of the start of this project. Got bored and had this parts frame so i decided to but a four cyl. four carb 500cc motor on this 200 frame. I will post more pics as i go. Let me know what you think.

Nice Dude.. get Midevil on that!

That'll be fun.

Cool, are you gonna run the exhaust in the bike position? Might be a good idea to try and tuck them up and have it wrap around the engine, unless you have no rocks where you are.

[harryredtrike]

the only problem i see is the stock exhaust goes under the frame,and will be in a bad position for damage from logs and rocks.

500cc + no suspension = death trap lol

Damn, that is evil. Those Fours make good power and can be melted into a lot of ingots when they blow up. I had a blown CB550 motor and put it in my fire pit with a turbo fan on it and made my own Aluminum ingots. Used the sleeves on my shop press :). How much clearance is there for the carbs??? are you running CV or roundslide linkage crabs?

[jrwebb8324]

Well I got the frame figured out today and set the motor on for a few minutes to see what all mods are gonna have to be done. 3wheelmecca I am using linkage carbs. As for exhaust i am not real sure what is going to happen yet. This is just a temp picture but thought i would post to keep everyone kinda updated. The only real big problem i have found so far is the kickstarter is going to hit the fenders.

insane i love it !

[Bryan Raffa]

Rear Flip up fenders!!!

[3wheelmecca]

on the carbs, I meant are they CV top or slide type??? I know honda made some shotty carbs BITD on some CBs.

[atc350xer]

I had a cb360 350x that someone cut a notch in the fender... don't do that! better easy way is to start it then put the fenders on

[jb2wheels]

Outstanding!
Just use the electric starter. Take fenders off if you have to kick it.
