    These are really great bikes. I've put well over 100,000 miles on a pair of these, commuting to work. I still have one, and it's still fun. I usually ride a high miler BMW R1150GS Adventure, which I like, but the CB500 comes out as a reminder of what fun a simple 500cc bike is. It's like the essence of pure biking. Hnadles well enough to get the pegs down and surprisingly nippy if you wring its neck. They are also truly amazing for the polar opposite of where you are riding - for slamming through London traffic, there is nothing finer.

      Thanks for you comment. We were really lucky, I had an old bearing left over from some other job. The new kits that are available all seem to be too tall for the top of the frame. You can use the bottom ok and put ball bearings in the top, or the other option is the have the frame machined down a few mm for it to fit. I have come across this problem before and I think it is becoming really difficult to get thinner bearings. Hope you get it sorted out OK

    Hi, I have just purchased a z250 from a friend of mine as a project but I can see I’m going to need replacement parts to get it to a reasonable standard, can you advise me where would be the best place to purchase whatever I’m going to need? I am a subscriber of your channel and have just finished watching you z200 rebuild and I would say that’s about the standard of finish I’m looking to achieve on my build. Any help you can offer would be great👍 Thanks Andy

      Hi Andy, I got some rare parts from Z Power in the UK, other stuff came from eBay. If you are not already a member I suggest joining the Z250 owners group on Facebook. I got some parts from those guys too. Wishing you well with your project and give me a shout if I can be of help.

    Well worth doing John, I'm guessing it's quite a rare beast in the UK. I'd like one of these early bikes but the only ones I've seen for sale here in Oz are in awful nick. With the hi/lo box it'll be great on the steep trails & put many larger cc bikes to shame.

      Thanks Darren, yes, not too many here, import only for these in the UK, always wanted one too, was lucky this one turn up just 10 minutes from where I live. Hope you are doing well and having great adventures with your bikes in OZ

    We called these ‘Yoghurt cartons’ back in the day in Australia because there was so much plastic on them. Absolutely awesome bike then and awesome now! Becoming quite collectible too. Great videos. Thanks for posting.👍🏻

      @sarmentinho Some parts from Dave Silver, others from sellers on eBay, the paint was from an auto supplier, 2k primer and base coat and 2k lacquer. I will do a video breaking down all parts and the costs

      ​​@@doconwheels-c5m thank you so much! My main concerns are to pick the correct primers, paints and rust treatments to mine. Currently my restoration is halted due to baby taking all the time, but your video felt so good to watch, I enjoyed a lot! 😊

    • @doconwheels-c5m
      @doconwheels-c5m 4 місяці тому

      @sarmentinho I hope you get progress with your project, you shoukd be fine if you stick to 2k primer and 2k solid black for the frame. Panels require plastic primer before painting, easily done. Good luck 👍
