I have an "82 CX 500 with 40+ original miles up here in Maine, always garaged, it's got a Honda fairing and bags as well, probably too much for this one. Was going to give it to my Grandson but will give him my Triumph instead and maybe sell the CX. I've always thought it would make a great cafe bike, so thanks for this video.
The same thing happened to me too when I inherited my CX500! I thought it was a 1978, and I looked up (in the same spot you did) when I was scrubbing the headlight and discovered it’s a ‘79! My dad has been thinking it was a ‘78 for decades! Hahaha!
This is literally what I was trying to do with CX I picked up, idk why ur video didn't show up early. Mine will prob end up looking like yours (shitty, but cheap, who fukin cares). Thanks for the information
5:09 NO! Absolutely not! What on earth are you using WD40 anywhere near your grips?!?!? Grab a can of Aquanet hairspray, the grips will slip right on and then when the hairspray dries your grips don’t move.
I love the simple style to all your builds. Definitely classic looks!
Hey thank you. The Proverbs scripture is from (Proverbs 28:1) The righteous are bold as a lion, but the wicked flee when no one's pursuing them.

I wouldn't ever give up a cx for anything in this world

Hey just a little tip when putting on the grips, use rubbing alcohol instead of wd-40 because it evaporates fairly quickly and won’t leave a mess :)
Thats a good looking bike. I like your style.
Whoa the headlight bolt indicator pro tip just blew my mind!!!
Ruff and ready and really cool.
Cool Video Great Bike!
Where did you get that weldable u bar and how did you do the seat mounts 😢

Looks great nice Cafe, have a blessed week my friend.
Thank you!
Bruh. Life's too short to be angry over something that has literally zero effect on you. Be better bro.
Mmmm don’t know guys it looks good but not that good and he even didn’t turn it on. Not satisfied.
My mother taught me if you can't say anything good don't say anything at all ! So-------------- .
I like it, how would you mount rear turn signals?
And how did you mount the seat?
Nice modifications. Those CXs are getting tougher to find. Good one to flip. Now I want to see what you’re going to do with that truck. 🤔
Great build! Currently working on a CX500 myself. Did you end up welding the hoop on to the frame and adding a crossbar to support the seat?
Hi, yes I had to weld it to hold better. I didn't get that on film however.
Does the hoop have to be angled to mount the seat?
Joke !!😂😂😂😂😂
