    Just brought home a CX500 and GL500 to combine into 1 nice (hopefully) cafe racer. I am going to use the CX500 monotube frame. Cut the back half off and go monoshock. I really like the backbone bracket from BBCR and Rejuve, but both are out of stock. And with the covid thing, not sure when they...

    The seat pan is fiberglass, not plastic, and came with the bike when I bought it. I had the seat custom upholstered locally a few months ago. Selling because I decided to go with a different "brat-style" seat that will allow me to put my girlfriend on the back. Fiberglass needs some work as...

    I have just taken possession of my first 1979 Honda cx500. She is a bit rough, but with the proper attention I believe she will turn into the gem I see. My overall plan is to modify the bike minimally. I want to avoid cutting the frame and essentially turn this bike into an amalgamation of the...

Bike is now running with a new mechanical water pump seal. that was a bit of a bitch to jam into the hole!! My goal is to make a clean low cost cafe...

    Still quite new here, but I thought I would share my cx cafe build here in little old New Zealand. I wanted a simple build that didn't break the bank and was comfortable and practical ride whilst still looking good. I started with a 1982 CX500 Shadow in reasonably good condition. I touched up...

    Hey everyone i just purchased an '82 Gl500 and i've got a lot of questions concerning the placement of electrical components on the bike and what i can remove and what not to take off. It did have the large fairing on the front with the radio and heaters so it must be more complicated. Thanks...

    Hi everyone. So i have started my longish journey of converting my Honda CX500 into a cafe racer using some of the CRK kit with bits of my own flare. Basically got the bike off my other half's dad and thought it would be a great chance to make something unique to me. I have started a series of...
