Not sure what it is, but wholly hell do I want it in my garage!
Kind of reminds me of my old CB77 Yetman frame.

Help me identify what i purchased.....
I purchased a 1971-ish cb500 with a custom lattice frame and i am wondering if it might look familiar to anyone...is it a kit, a one off, a race bike?
Here are a few things I know:
- Well built lattice frame, where the lower engine cradle unbolts from the rest of the frame
- it has an aluminum swing arm
- eccentric chain adjuster in the frame
- Arces triple tree
- Drilled rear hub for cooling (and brake shoes)
- Clear right side magneto cover
Really odd things:
- Cable operated kick stand
- Additional switched on the handle bars
- accessory red light above the left rear turn signal
I am wondering if it wasn't a race bike that someone tried to make street legal.
Any other ideas?

It really does not look like any Bimota frame I have seen.
