Totally understand. You are doing great work. I'd recommend using an F4i shock as the core and going with a remote reservoir. JD can give you...
Looking good! Thanks for the update. If I could make a suggestion, this would be a good time to change out the stock mono-shock. Easy access...

This is a bit of a puzzle.
Welcome! If I could suggest two books for the library shelf: the Factory Service Manual and Mike Nixon's Cleaning the Honda V4 Carburetor....
Quality often means you have to pony up with the checkbook. Pazzos Racing is a Canadian owned company that manufactures everything in-house and...
Matt, I get what you are saying, but if this 500 is indeed in showroom condition and with essentially zero miles, it's collectable value is off...
Totally agree.
Thanks for the post. I'm tempted to take a road trip to Ohio ;-) You had asked about value. Of course it's really up to how much a buyer wants...
If I could ask, where is this bike located? Sounds like a great find!
