If you look close at the seat and tank, off to the right side you can see the serrations of my levis melted into the vinyl on the seat and the clear coat of the tank. What a freak accident. I don't have video of the flip but I have two written whiteness statements given to the police. So on to the CBX acquisition. While looking for parts to rebuild the CB750 my son and I pulled up to a motorcycle scrap yard. As we pulled up I noticed a Kawi KZ900/1000 mid 70's. I told my son those were pretty desirable and fast as hell. I also stressed how weird it was to see one at the scrap yard and my son replies, next you you know you'll find a CBX here. So we get out, get into the yard and I see what looks like a CB900/1000 with a big ole Windjammer fairing on it, and the gas tank was sitting where the seat should be. I didn't pay much attention to it but the shape of the tank kept my attention. I stopped and backed up and counted the pipes... HOLY SHIT six pipes.... I freaked out. It was a 79 CBX missing the seat and all rear fender pieces. I looked it over for over an hour. I had only ever seen one before in person and that was the summer of 2016 while at a bike show. I told my son I didn't need another bike especially in the situation I was in, healing and rebuilding the CB750. Plus the wife would flip if I drug another bike home. Over the last two years we have accumulated 5 CB750's.
Here is a picture of the CBX through the fence as I am leaving the yard without the CBX. If you look in the lower part of this picture you can see the rear fender of the KAWI KZ. Turns out the same guy that abandoned the CBX also dropped off the KZ.
Leaving the bike ate at me for 5 days. I decided to grab some cash and head back down there, hoping that by now some one surely had bought it. As I pulled up there it was. I settled on a price and brought it home. the best i can tell the bike has not run since 1995. and has major sun damage to most plastic parts. I have since rebuilt the carbs and lots of other various other work. I have had the pleasure of working with Louis, Mike Nixon, Phil and a few others already. The support in the community is amazing. I'll save the rest for a project thread.
for the CBXPress so we can all enjoy the process!
