    Hello everyone! My name is John and I'm from Louisiana. Recently purchased a CX500 Standard bike from my father for $300 a couple of weeks ago (while he insists that all I am paying for is the fuel tank). Anyway, I'm excited to be a part of the forum after viewing without an account for so long...

    Hi All! New member here living in southern New Hampshire, USA. I just bought a 1978 Honda CX500 with 4200 original miles! It's my first motorcycle, and after taking the DMV safety courses and getting my license, I'm teaching myself to ride along with some basic motorcycle maintenance. I...
  3. Technical Help Forum
    (first post, so first I gotta say I'm glad there's a community for this stuff and thanks in advance) I got this bike a few months ago, was able to get it running and for the first month it was great. Then I had a situation where one of the floats got stuck and it started leaking gas from the...

    Good Morning Everybody! I recently purchased a 1981 Honda CX500C from a gentleman who was attempting to turn it into a Cafe style bike. I'm interested in reversing several of the modifications he had made to the bike such as restoring the airbox, rear mudguard, and both fenders. So far after...

    Just picked up a CX650C with 30,000 miles on it today. It has a little bit of rust and some scratches here and there, but it's only my second bike so I'm not too upset! Rode it home and I'm loving it, but I have a few questions and would appreciate if someone could point me in the right...

    Hello everyone! I am new to the forum. I have a 1983 Honda CX650 Custom. 25k miles on it. I have had it for about three months. Its my first motorcycle too.

    Hello from Louisville, KY. I recently acquired a 1980 CX500 (not sure if it's a deluxe or custom) from my brother who moved to a new city. He barely rode the bike himself and did little to no maintenance over the time he owned it. I didn't get any information about what went on with the bike...

    Hello! Todd from WA, here. Recently picked up someone's project bike as it trickled through my OfferUp filters for a reasonable price, and local. Ultimately back in 2008 I was inspired by Moto Mucci (sp?) build - However, I was working on this at the time...
  9. Where Can I Find...
    Hi all I live in Sydney, Australia. I am looking for someone to rewire my 1980 CX500, the PO has done a bit of a hack job and it's hard to say what's been left and what's been added. Could someone recommend an auto electrician in the Sydney are that they would be confident to take on the...

    Hey, Bob, Your "Location and bike model" message should just be an auto reply message for new members. I know you, probably, have this saved somewhere. But, it might save you from having to add it to posts,all the time. Just a thought. EJ

    Just picked up an 82' GL500 Silverwing from a friend who is moving out of state. He bought it a year ago from a mechanic/driving test examiner. The bike has just shy of 50,000 miles on it. My first go with the starter yielded mixed results. The engine will "fire" but won't stay running...

    Hello all! I'm a new member here. I'll be using this page to chronicle my cx500 build! I've received a fully stock '81 cx500 deluxe and about 85% of a '79 cx500 as trade for me building another motorcycle (or truck.. or FJ.. or.....) for a quirky guy I know, who has two large storage units...
  13. General Discussion
    Just a new member introduction here. There is really no question in this rambling but more of an introduction and a bit of insight into my thoughts and what I might find here. I am presently an owner of an old CX-500-C that I bought new way back in the early 80s. I am not sure if it is an 80...
