The MF'r from Cape Canaveral now joins!

Greetings all. I have owned a 1979 CBX1000 for 2 years now and have been trying to get it on the road......reliably!

I picked it up in December of 2016. It has the 1983 CB1100F front and rear end on it. It had a semi stock motor with Pod Filters and DG 6 into 1 exhaust (wearing a Yoshi badge!!)

In 2017 I had TIMSCBX put in a fresh motor, new ignition system and upgraded charging system. There were a host of challenges this that phase then after 1000 miles I took it to a local shop to have the Carbs synced and things went south. Too long of a story so I will just fast forward to yesterday!!! Got the bike running, charging, stopping correctly and have an amazing hour long ride before sunset. Still lots to do and I will have lots of general questions. I own 10 bikes currently and this Honda and my 1984 Yamaha RZ350 are the only older freaks I own. I am a terrible wrencher -- I just love to ride but this old Honda has been a dream bike of mine since high school.

Slowly but surely my CBX is getting little upgrades. I changed out the Chain and Sprockets and added a Voltage Meter. I have a couple of minor oil leaks that I have yet to find where the leaks are originating from. I need to borrow someones lift so I can get it up in the air. My fat head will not fit under the motor!!! And my biggest hang-up now is once I get the motor and chassis nice and solid I want to clean up the overall appearance. Since the bike is already a hybrid of a sorts I want to clean up the handlebars, controls, mirrors and paint job to my personal liking. But, for now I am just going to ride it and enjoy it -- A LOT.

Thanks! The bike is coming along nicely now!

That is a DG 6 into 1 exhaust that is wearing a Yoshimura badge!!! It was on the bike when I purchased it.
