Honda CBX750FE, 1986, Very Good Condition, MoT to May 2015

CBX750FE in very good functional and cosmetic condition. Not much opportunity to use it now. so has to relinquish its place in the shed. Starts easily and reliablyRuns and rides beautifully - sprightly. nbsp;fairly agile for its bulk (~218 kg). smooth. great gearchange and sounds lovely on its Neta 4 into 1 systemNo nasty alternator chain-related noises (a known issue with some RC17s). and hydraulic tappets. so no valve clearance issuesFront and rear air suspension gives a nice compliant ride and retains pressure seemingly indefinitelyFuel gauge (oh yes!) and Voltmeter both workChain and sprockets goodAverages about 43 mpg in mixed town and A road useTaxed to end of December. though I don't suppose that counts for much any more. I bought the bike unseen in September last year. and whilst usable. it wasn't up to snuff and there wasn't much paper service history. so I got stuck in:(Very) deep cleanNew Avon Road Rider tyresNew throttle and choke cablesNew gripsFront and rear calipers grit blasted. sprayed with VHT enamel. baked. nbsp;rebuilt with new seals. pads and bleed nipplesFront brake master cylinder renewedNew clutch lever and pivotHydraulic clutch fluid replacedFork lowers sprayed satin black to match original colourSwingarm sprayed silver to match original colourEngine paint touched up with VHT satin enamel by airbrushOil and filter renewedMiscellaneous wiring repairs and tidyingNew mirrorsMinor paint correction. cutting and polishingI had a new MoT done once I'd completed the work. for safety's sake. A few minor niggles:The speedo takes a hundred yards or so to respond when the bike's been parked overnight. then works fine for the rest of the day - I assume contamination on the bearings - bought a used spare (for £7!) which I'll throw inThe rear remote damping adjuster cable is seized - I haven't got round to replacing itThe front right caliper squeals on brake release. although both pistons and the pins move as they should - I've given it a good ignoringThe paint isn't perfect. with some blemishes and a couple of small (sub 1") cracks in panelsThe previous owner removed the centre stand - I use an Abba stand on the swingarm pivotsOtherwise it's ready to enjoy.
