Paul Martin’s Honda CB500 Four

Here are a couple of pictures of my Honda CB500 Four that I purchased and restored in 1999; it has featured before in CMM! It was supplied new in 1975 in Candy Garnet Brown (registered late, as the 550 was available that year so it had obviously sat in the showroom for a while!). I recently sourced another tank and side-panel set and had them sprayed in Candy Gold by Menno Dek of Tanklackiere in Germany and refreshed the restoration. I always preferred this colour back in the day, I now have two sets and can change them over within 10 minutes, creating a different machine!
