    Hi, My first post; my first bike. :) I have a 1981 cx500d and I just replaced the stock exhaust system with the Mac 2 into 1, in black. I did not rejet the carbs and am using the stock air filter (not pods). Everything seems to be running normally with the new system - no leaks, no black...

Bike is a 1980 CX500D (working on figuring out how to add that to my signature) I just finished cleaning the carbs using Larry's book, and now the bike is overheating (or at least saying it's overheating) extremely quickly. Like into the red in ~5 min at...

    My 1979 Honda CX500D has been having issues accelerating ever since I have bought it. In any gear higher than first when I roll on the throttle after about 4000 rpm the bike begins to bog down and seems almost stuck at that speed. It sometimes feels like it wants to start pulling away and...

    I have a '81 CX500D fairing I'm trying to sell and I need to know if it will fit a 500 Silverwing? Anyone know the value of a fairing? It's in good condition, radio still works but cassette player does not. Thanks for the help! Kyle

    I know this is a pretty basic fix, but can someone tell me the common cause of this? I pulled my engine and took off the back plate to put in a new stator, but once I put everything back together and mounted my engine back to the shaft and frame, I noticed that my shifter wouldn't budge...

    I am starting my first bike build, and I'm using a 1980cx500d. Problem is that I am having a hard time finding a tank that has the right size tunnel. Does anybody know what tanks will fit nicely without to much modifications?

    Hi guys, I recently posted on here asking about problems with my bike not running. Turns out it just needed some cleaning and some adjustments to the fuel tubes. The next problem I have is the Stator. When I ran my bike, the battery died. Obviously the stator, right? Did a lead test, it told me...

    Hey guys n gals Here is my newly finished CX500. I started this about a year ago and to be honest it is on another forum (do the ton, as I’m into my cafe racers) it never even crossed my mind that there would be a CX forum until I looked! Anyone interested in any part of the build I have loads...

    Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and I've never really worked on a bike except for the time I replaced my radiator and fan. My 81 CX500d is my first bike. About a year ago, my bike quit out on me while driving to work when I ran out of gas and it never fired up again. There aren't any Honda...
