After purchasing it, I remember thinking back to the 70s, when I would see on the freeways of Southern California, how the rear shocks were swapped for rigid bars. \u3068\u8a00\u3063\u3066\u3082\u5f53\u6642CB500\u30d9\u30fc\u30b9\u306f\u5c11\u306a\u304f\u307b\u3068\u3093\u3069\u306fCB750, \u305d\u308c\u3067\u3082\u5927\u67c4\u306aUSA\u4eba\u304c\u4e57\u3063\u3066\u3044\u308b\u3068 CB750\u304c CB500\u4f4d\u306e\u5927\u304d\u3055\u306b\u898b\u3048\u3066\u3057\u307e\u3046\u3002\u5c0f\u67c4\u306a\u65e5\u672c\u4eba\u304c\u4e57\u308b\u306a\u3089CB500\u3067\u4e01\u5ea6\u826f\u3044\u3068\u601d\u3046\u3002 That's when I thought about doing this and making the Honda CB with aDrag Bike style to it. Back then, a CB500 was hardly used as a base. Instead it was the CB750, but when an American is on a CB750, the bikelooks more like a CB500. For us smaller Japanese, I think a CB500 was asbig as I wanted to go. \u305d\u3093\u306a\u8a33\u3067\u30ea\u30a2\u306fRigit Bar\u3001\u30ea\u30e0\u306f\u30dc\u30e9\u30fc\u30cb\u306eH\u578b\u30a2\u30eb\u30df\u30ea\u30e0\u3001\u30bf\u30a4\u30e4\u306fFront\u304c Avon Speedmaster 3.00-19 \u30ea\u30a2\u306f MH Drag Slick Tire4\/26.6-18, \u3053\u306eDrag Slick Tire\u304c Key,\u306a\u304b\u306a\u304b\u898b\u3064\u304b\u3089\u306a\u3044\u3001\u63a2\u3059\u306e\u306b1\u5e74\u639b\u304b\u308a\u6700\u7d42\u7684\u306b\u306fPaint\u3092\u3057\u3066\u304f\u308c\u305f Harpoon\u304c \u300c\u53cb\u4eba\u306e\u3060\u3051\u3069\u4f7f\u3046\u306a\u3089\u826f\u3044\u3088!\u300d\u3063\u3066\u8b72\u3063\u3066\u304f\u308c\u305f\u306e\u304c11\u6708\u306e\u521d\u3081\u3001\u4e00\u5ea6Avon Tire\u3092\u7d44\u3093\u3067\u3044\u305f\u306e\u3092 \u7d44\u307f\u76f4\u3057MH Tire\u3092\u5165\u308c\u3066\u307f\u308b\u3068\u56db\u89d2\u3059\u304e\u3066\u30ab\u30c3\u30b3\u3044\u3044! So, the rear shocks were changed to rigid bars, Borani H model aluminum rims with the front tire being an Avon Speedmaster 3.00-19 and the rearbeing a MH Drag Slick 4\/26.6-18. This Drag Slick is Key and very hard tofind and took one year to locate and only because Harpoon, who did thepaint, hard one and said, \"It's my friends, but if you want to use it, go for it.\" That was in November. At first it was Avon tires on front and back but after changing the rear to the MH Tire and seeing the square shape of the tire, it look so cool and so right! \u30de\u30d5\u30e9\u30fc\u306f\u30aa\u30ea\u30b8\u30ca\u30eb\u3067\u4f5c\u308a\u3001\u30d5\u30ed\u30f3\u30c8\u30c1\u30e5\u30fc\u30d6\u306fCB750\u306e\u3092\u30ab\u30c3\u30c8\u3057Drop, \u30d8\u30c3\u30c9\u30e9\u30a4\u30c8\u30b9\u30c6\u30fc\u306f 70'sKawasaki Bike\u306b\u4f7f\u308f\u308c\u3066\u3044\u305f\u7269\u3067\u5f53\u6642\u3082\u30ab\u30b9\u30bf\u30e0(\u6614\u306a\u3089\u6539\u9020)\u306b\u306f\u3053\u306e\u30b9\u30c6\u30fc\u3092 \u4f7f\u3063\u3066\u3044\u305f\u3068\u8a00\u3046\u7269\u3067\u3082\u4eca\u63a2\u3059\u3068\u306a\u308b\u3068\u306a\u304b\u306a\u304b\u898b\u3064\u304b\u3089\u306a\u3044\u3002 The exhaust is one-off original, the front tubes are from a CB750 that have been cut to Drop it…","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mooneyes.co.jp\/express\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/356"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mooneyes.co.jp\/express\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mooneyes.co.jp\/express\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mooneyes.co.jp\/express\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mooneyes.co.jp\/express\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=356"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.mooneyes.co.jp\/express\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/356\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":357,"href":"https:\/\/www.mooneyes.co.jp\/express\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/356\/revisions\/357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mooneyes.co.jp\/express\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=356"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mooneyes.co.jp\/express\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=356"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mooneyes.co.jp\/express\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
