[Dreaming]

Good Day,
I'm a new member from Medicine Hat Alberta Canada and just wanted to say hello and looking forward to getting some technical advise from the CBX Guro's. I restore old Honda's for a hobby and always wanted a CBX and when I got a chance to buy a 81 Pro-link I jumped on it. The bike came with a shop manual and a Tech Tip Chronicles book that has all kinds of good stuff in it. It says that it was put out by this club, I heard that there was anew one coming out. The one I got has the 1999 addendums as the last entry. Looking through the book the previous owner must have found it helpful because he had a lot of the entries highlighted. I will be busy checking out all the posts, pictures and videos. I'll post a picture of the bike once I get that all figured out.
Thanks, Dreaming

lot's of cbx expertise here I'm not one of those but I'll help when I can, I've learned a lot from the experts here and my own mistakes...

job 1, buy Mike Nixon's booklet on CBX carburetors http://www.motorcycleproject.com/ carbs are an absolute pain in the arse to access/work on, do it right the first time. Or you can get someone else to do it for you, Mike, Bert at SCM, Dave, Tims' ...

Parts-Louis, SCM, Tims, CBX Performance, David Silver, Ebay or many of the forum members here...be prepared to pay a premium for cbx parts ...

Where did you find the 81?? I sold mine to a guy in Calgary and included a shop manual and the Tech Tips. Wonder if it's my old bike.

Thanks for the input, I bought the bike from a guy that bought it new and thank goodness he took really good care of it. I have a log that has every nut, screw and oil that he has ever changed on the bike and a comment to go with it. As a bit of a collector I can relate, it just makes things so much easier and I wish that I had taken better notes of some of the earlier restorations that I did.

and if we're unable to help it's likely we can point you in the right direction.

Good for you guys, the Canadian contingency has really grown here in the last year or so, you fellas should hookup and put together a small local rally this year, ride, hang out and tell some lies, you guys don't drink beer do you?

you guys don't drink beer do you?

I'm shocked that you would have to ask that! Canadian's never touch the stuff.

I had a good Canadian friend about 35 years ago that was attending school at Pepperdine Univ. here in Malibu.
He rode a '79 CBX turbo and he could really ride. Now to the beer part. His name was John Molson
Yes, that MOLSON.
Best,
Phil

Well I hope I don't get chastised for this but, whenever The ICOA held a rally and the "Canadians" showed up somehow, someway all hell would break loose, morning, day and night for a week straight, they represented their country well!

Work hard, party hard!! That's our Canadian motto. (At least some of us!!)

As long as it was a polite "all hell would break loose" .
