Hi All, New here, just upgraded to a CB500F in yellow after the chocolate crank on my CBR300R melted lol. Fitted levers and waiting for a Evotech rad guard, Fenda Extenda, & R&G shock tube as the Honda hugger seems shorter than my 300 was and that let plenty of crap fly forward. Mark
Will do, just have the Fenda Extenda to fit tonight, R&G shock tube was a bugger to fit but got there in the end, and the Evotech Rad guard although expensive was outstanding and fitted perfectly in 10 minutes and much better designed than the R&G version.
The Puig new generation touring screen I got was for a 13-15 model and had the tabs for the fork pinch bolts but as I had no way of torqueing the bolts i just cut the tabs off so it looks similiar to the 2016 brackets and seems solid enough. This is the ice yellow image form tinternt.
Hi, Mark. I did the same after Honda fitted my 300 with a new crank. I just was not comfortable riding with that in the back of my mind. Picking up my 500r next Wednesday. Fingers crossed the bad weather lifts.
Here it is, pristine when it rolled out this morning on its official maiden run, covered in crap 40 min later :frown:
So much smoother and easier to ride than the 300, engine just sounds like its ticking over when riding.
I see myself getting another 500 later down the line and if I do, the first thing I'm getting for is a new exhaust! I really dislike the stock one that's on there and I think it sounds naff!
That color would match my Helmet & Jacket. I'm all for Hi-Viz Colors . Stay safe & have many enjoyable miles / Years of riding on your 500F.
????????????????
I like that yellow, so how's the turbulence/buffeting behind that windshield with highway speeds with a full bucket? I'm using a smaller one, Errmax sport, it's curved in the front and sort of get everything around you, comfortable thus far and not too much noise inside the helmet.
Only reason I put it on because I got stung by bees in the neck a couple times. So it knocks them up out of the way, lot of agriculture out here in the land of nuts and fruits. **** bees.
Hi Not had it on the motorway yet so cant say, i dont expect much from it though, it was free so i put it on, will try when i get a thousand miles on it. Thanks everyone.
