Description

For sale is a Honda CX500 custom from 1980.
The pros:
I have the OEM handlebars, ouble seat, ngine cage, adiator grill, ide panels, ront signal brackets and various other original parts that go with the CX500 Custom model. It just got a new rear tire. It's been running all summer and I put about 1000 miles on. It runs beautifully, its about 7000 rpm at 70 mph and will go faster. No falls. It's really the love of my life. ~33000 miles on the clock.
The cons:
The reason I'm selling is it has the capacity to be a beautiful cafe racer / tracker / bobber or a restoration which is why I bought it but I don't have the time to put in to fix it up. It needs work - a lot of the current mods are temporary aesthetic stuff. The rims and forks are plastidip black, s are the side panels, o will eventually peel. The pictured seat is an amateur job - looks good but is very rough and none too comfortable. The main problem and the reason I have to sell now is that there's an electrical fault somewhere and the bike has no power. Shouldn't be a big deal - the bike will bump start happily - but if someone else has more time and expertise with electrical stuff they should take it off my hands.
Get in touch if you're interested in this rare and beautiful bike, n incredibly popular platform for custom cafe racers (google cx500 cafe) and restoration jobs.
No low-balling please - I'll just wait to get the work done at a shop if I can't get a fair price. Buyer is responsible for delivery/collection. I have no way of transporting the bike.
