Hello from Spain

Post by porschekz »

Hi guys,
This is Porschekz, from Madrid, Spain.
I just bought a 80' CBX as my first DOCHs Honda. I've already own a CB125 as well several KZs (1000, 650 and 400) and other Spanish two strokes bikes like OSSA, Derbi and Bultaco.
My CBX is a fair condition, see pictures, and I'm plan to restore it on the original condition.
I'd report how we are progressing in the work.
Firstable I would open the engine to check status of the crankshaft and bearings as well just to replace rings if are needed (the milege is 18.000 therefore is quite low I hope) and additionally I' d clean valves and replace valve seals.(i.e wich kind of valve seals you recommend to install and where I can find those?).
I'd need also to find out a speedometer since the one I have is damaged.Does someone tell me where I can found an used speedometer with a full speed range?

Chreers, Juan

Hello Juan! Welcome to the ICOA forum.
If a 240km/h speedometer is what you need, I have a NOS one. Send me an e-mail mike.simon70@yahoo.com
