When I follow the link, it opens very briefly -enough to give you a tantalising glimpse of the bike -then switches to "Other Related Items". From what I saw it looked a nice 'un though.

This has been kicking about for a while now. Really don't like it. Don't think the bars work for it. Think the mudguard and struts on it don't help it much either

I like the guard & the pipes, but I'm not an ape hanger man myself, (just an ape man). Some nice ideas there.

The first bike I ever rode on was pillion on my mate's CB500T. T'was a metallic brown one. Another mate had the bright orange version with huge apehangers on. They were the blokes who introduced me to the bike club I joined when I was 17 -so always had a bit of a soft spot for the 500Ts. Much under rated bikes I think.
