New bike project, ’79 CX500C

Here is the newest additional to my garage. A nearly mint condition 1979 CX500C. This bike came with ~28K miles on it. I’ve take most of it down and performed a full factory service. As far as I can tell there is literally nothing wrong with it…  A perfect project bike =)

Planned mods on this bike include:

  • Front wheel replacement
  • New tires
  • Front fork complete rebuild
  • Full factory service
  • Cafe bars
  • New Paint
  • Polish, lots of polish
  • Finial drive full factory service and cleaning
  • 2 into 1 Exhaust
  • Gauge pack refurbish
  • New Front MC
  • Electric fan conversion
