Since we’re still waiting on it we’ll go ahead and go over some of the Honda Genuine Accessories available from Honda for the 2013 CB500F.
The OEM Honda Seat Cowl for the 2013 CB500F will probably be one of the most popular add-ons as it really cleans up the tail of the bike.

It’ll be interesting to see if some of the CBR500R parts like the ones below will fit the CB500F.
- CBR500R Carbon Fiber Front Fender
- CBR500R Lower Headlight Cover
- CBR500R Carbon Fiber Rear Hugger
We have yet to see if these will work or not but the previous model Honda Racing CBR Carbon Fiber Fuel Lid Cover will hopefully work on the CB500F:
Also another cool Carbon Fiber part for your CB500F will be the Honda Racing Carbon Fiber License Tag / Plate Frame:
Another option though if you don’t like the Honda Racing Carbon Fiber Tank Pad above that was originally for the CBR600RR / CBR1000RR. You can do what I did and purchase the Honda Racing Carbon Fiber Tank Pad (below) that was made for the CBR250R but will work on any other bike (I used on CBR600RR). So this Honda Racing Carbon Fiber Tank Pad will work for the CB500F and CBR500R as well for another option to choose from.
The #1 Accessory people are going to be on the lookout for is an exhaust / slip on upgrade for their CB500F. It will be interesting to see what the aftermarket companies like Akrapovic, Leo Vince, FMF, Jardine, Moriwaki etc come up with exhaust wise for the 2013 CB500F.
Here’s a quick video with a sound clip of the exhaust on a CBR500R but the exhaust will sound the same on the CB500F since they share the same engine. The company who makes this exhaust is called K-Speed and is a very large and well known company overseas.
