  5. Where Can I Find...
    Hey there! I have a custom CX500 that was recently completed. I put a few hundred miles on it so far, and noticed recently that the nut on the 12mm flange bolt below the engine (picture below) had rattled off. I suspect this is because we put a custom exhaust on the bike, which is mounted on...

    Hello everyone, As with many members on here, I figure I should document my (slow) cafe racer build and maybe get your guys opinion along the way on a few things. I love getting inspiration from others builds and a lot of the things that I do to my bike come from other great members out there...

    Hi I'm Pedro from Portugal and I'm new around here. I'm considering getting an early 79 CX 500, with almost 60.000 kms, or maybe an early 78 model with more or less 35.000 kms, for a transformation project. Both look in good shape. The beautiful engine and frame and its claimed reliability are...
