Finally got my CBX

Post by kap384 »

New member from Calgary, Alberta. Picked up my '79 earlier this year. Carbs, brakes, tires and some elbow grease and she'll be good to go.

Sorry for the poor quality shot of it, but its from the night I picked it up from the shippers in Montana. Virginia bike originally. NOS exhaust on it. I'll start up a project thread soon to document its resurrection. Have a few other bike projects to finish off before I get to it though. Need to hear this thing run this summer!

Thanks everyone! Yup, definitely a Honda guy. The random Suzuki was my first ever motorcycle, so it stays. There is one more Honda I'm tempted to add to the want list, but haven't yet.

Ha! Rare one. We can't even get it in the U.S. Was never sold here. You may have to fulfill that wish by getting one from Europe..

Fixed link. No time to get to this project. Life, built a house, prioritized other things and other motorcycles. Still need to get to this old girl.

Try to make it before 2032!

Good luck with your build
