'78 CX project finished

It took me 2 years, but finally my '78 CX500Z restoration project has finished! In my opinion the bike looks great. From some angles and distance it looks like new:)

With all the money the parts cost me, I could easily have bought 2 or 3 bikes from eBay or so. But I don't regret at all what I did. I've learned a lot about this bike and about restoring in general.

The bike isn't ready for 100% yet, it still needs some work at some details, but I consider that to be part of the regular maintenance.

I'd like to say thanks to you guys, for helping me out when I posted questions in the old forum.



Check out the latest pictures I took HERE or HERE.

Great restoration job there. You should be very proud of it. I hope you carry photos to show people what it did look like!
Jimi,



I like the red and black ...
I love that blue! But I bought red replacement stripes, so no blue for me. Probably red or yellow.

Okay, they both look great ... but then you know I'm a purist and think factory colors for the most part are great.
