I've put about 20km so far. Keep in mind that I have no road rego yet, so that's 20Km too many.

I'm waiting for Murray's carbs, and I need to adjust the rear shocks to stop the mini bounces, and in time, cut about 1" off both stands to make them useful, but I'm calling it....and I'm more than wrapped.

Thanks all for your kind words and hints and help along the way. And a muted apology to those that feel pain at the chopping of a perfectly good 'ol machine. It's been a good ride on the CX500 forum.

Wow...fantastic job Mario!!!
Finally done...Big Congrats!!

Your bike looks awesome. Like new...but then again, now it is basically new..lol

I really like your colour scheme also, and all the lines looks neat, as if they fit. And that after you actually did major surgery to this bike!

I guess, even after its finished, there will often be some thing or area or part of a customised bike that one can fiddle, fix or improve on.

Enjoy your bike, and many congrats again! Top job!!!

Hey mate, great rebuild. Can I ask what you paid for original purchase?
