Has anyone fit NH M bars on a CX 500 Custom?
Is there a clearance issue with the tanks.
I'm building my CX for Ahrma racing and am trying to get into a more tucked in position.
I am 6'2" and not comfortable with clubmans or clip ons seems the controls will bump the tank.
I think the M bars would be a good fit if they allow enough movement without strking the tank.
Project thus far.
Massive elimination of wires that are not needed.
Removed headlight. indicators, speedo/ tach cluster.
Removal of centerstand.
Custom seat pan pushes me up towards front.
Fork rebuild with springs 1 1/2" spacer and 20 wt belray. Rear progressive shocks with 90/120 spring
I have upgraded front brake master cylinder, switched to stainless hose and dual pot caliper with Galfer green pads.
Stock engine, rebuilt carbs with 90/120 jets K&N pods, eliminated exhaust box and replaced with 1 1/2" crossover between 2 Cycle Shack baffled pipes. Much improved pickup.
Fresh BT 45's
I am currently modifying the gear select output shaft to move foot lever back 2".
Will modify brake foot lever with cutting back 1 1/2" and hot forge bending then re-welding on pedal.
Currently weiging in at 395#
Now I just need to lose 10 for myself. Shooting for 195!
Anybody racing a CX?
Hoping to be ready for early May track day at Blackhawk.
