Honda CX500B 1981

Welcome to this auction for my restored Honda CX500B in black. No expense has been spared in this ground up restoration. The result is a classic motorcycle which is stunning to look at and a delight to ride. I recently entered it in a Classic Motor Show where it received many compliments along the lines of "wow that's beautiful I used to have one like that" etc etc. The bike is 33 years old and looks like new. Please read the whole text as it will hopefully answer any questions you may have. The bike is registered in my name. The engine and frame numbers are correct on the V5 which I have. I have several old MOT's to back up the mileage of just over 26K. It is possible the mileage may increase if the sun shines!Below is a list of parts used in the restoration which were mostly pattern however. some New Old Stock parts were used where available and are indicated (NOS)Front brake caliper seals and padsBleed nipplesRear brake shoes and springsGoodridge brake linesFairing (NOS) and fly screenMudguardHeadlight inner chrome ringFork sealsFork chromed top caps (NOS)Fork rebound springs "pair" (NOS)Both handlebar grips (NOS)Left and right switch gear (NOS)Front brake reservoir incl brake leverClutch leverBoth rear view mirrorsSeatComplete indicators x4All oils and fluidsAssorted nuts and bolts (some NOS)Center and side stand return springs x2 (NOSRear brake torque arm (NOS)Rear brake arm lever (NOS)New batteryThe swing arm is used but in perfect as new condition and was sourced from the USAHagon rear shocksTool kit bag (NOS) with a selection of old but usable toolsCoolant pipe O rings and gasketsNew spark plugsClutch. tacho and choke cablesIgnition switch and 2 keys and helmet lock key which is originalAir and oil filtersComplete exhaust system incl clamps and gasketsPirelli "Route" tyres are old but have plenty of tread leftThe frame and swing arm have been professionally powder coated.
