1981 Honda CX500 Deluxe Cafe Racer

For a 34 year old motorcycle it is in incredible condition with low miles. The engine and carbs have been cleaned and returned to stock, ith new gaskets and filters in all of the systems as of Spring 2015. The tank is un-dented but there are some small places where jacket zippers and the like have scratched through the clear coat. The wheels and forks were freshly enameled black in Spring 2015 and any missing paint on the frame was filled to prevent rust. There is one small crack in one of the engine mounts and it looks like a previous owner let it fall on its side once as there are about 3 dime sized scratches on the right side of the bike. As with most vehicles of this age, here is no warranty and it is being sold as-is.
Her name is Popcorn and she'll do the ton, nder safe and legal conditions.
Modifications for the cafe mod are as follows:
-Fairing removed and replaced with a new 7in headlight and low profile turn signals. The horn was removed to make room for the new headlight.
-Black clubman handlebars with new muddy brown Oury grips.
-Front fender chopped and enameled black. Rear fender also chopped.
-Wheels and front forks enameled black. Wheel bearings replaced June 2015
-Front forks shortened 1 in.
-Stock exhaust replaced with a Mac 2 into 1 system with a 2.5 in Cherry Bomb muffler, nameled black and wrapped with tan fiberglass heat wrap.
The CX platform will never be a quick bike, ut removing weight certainly helps make the most of the engine's power. Swapping exhausts saved about 20lbs, airing removal saved ~10 lbs. Losing half a fender was another pound. There are still places for weight savings to be made but the difference is already noticeable. More weight can come off by changing out the stock seat, ut everyone has their own preference in cafe racer seats so I decided to leave this one stock for the next owner. Plus the stock one is as comfy as it is ugly. I have another pair of low profile turn signals to be installed by the new owner if they choose to redo the seat/rear end. The bike also comes with the original Honda maintenance/safety kit, nd extra set of fuses (it doesn't go through them, he previous owner gave them to me so I figured I would send them on), Clymer's manual, nd a set of front foot pegs that attach to the font of the frame like on a Harley (great for long trips).
Feel free to ask any questions you may have, he bike is also for sale locally.
