Re: At last a CBX
Thanks for posting, looks about the condition mine was in when I got it. Hours of fun and games in that puppy!
Rear brake set up is, um, interesting. Looks to me like a rear brake rotor for a twin piston caliper equipped bike but yours still has a single piston caliper rear brake. I suspect some interesting "treatment" of the pads so they don't touch the inner section of the rotor with the slots in.
Enjoy the journey, we are here and happy to help.
Cheers..Tony

Great to see another one restored.
Did you get all the mechanical issues sorted?

Re: At last a CBX
Hi Steve / Mello,
Everything seems to be ship shape so I suppose the mechanicals are okay at the moment, but I'm not naive enough to think there won't be some adjustments, tweeks or fixes down the line. That is part of caring for a 30 odd year old bike (Legend)and I'm priveledge to be a custodian, as I'm sure we all are.
Thanks for the acknowlegment.
Cheers
