Awesome, I picked up the same bike last year for $400, however mine was wrecked with a badly damaged tank, missing side cover and and looked horrible....but it ran. I ride bikes 3-4 times a week for the past 30+ years from cruisers to sport bikes that are old and new. I am impressed with the "heart" of this cx500 engine, it just runs, and keeps running. I do have a low idle issue I'm trying to work thru now, but otherwise it's a great bike and reminds of of what motorcycles used to be w/o all the technology. Good luck...i got some parts i no longer need from mine, some i'm selling, some you can just have. I listed a few ignition parts on this forum, but have a lot more i'll never need again.
