So I finally got myself the perfect project bike to convert into a Brat Bike or a Flat Tracker, or something in between. I bought it from a young lad, in March 2017, who only owned it for a couple of months really, but then had to free up some space.
I have been looking at the CX 500’s for some time, and always thought they are perfect for converting, considering the hundreds of awesome finished products.
I was looking for a mechanically sound bike, with no need to drop or rebuild the engine.
The frame and engine on my bike was really in need of some urgent TLC, cosmetically. The bike ran, and almost everything worked, accept the Tacho meter. The temp gauge only moved once in all the time I had it, and only ever so slightly, so not sure if it’s working 100%.
All paper work in order, and the bike was previously resprayed to Maroon, and I also bought 3 boxes of spares with the bike.
I will attempt to post as many pics as possible. Here is my project bike, in the form and shape that I bought it: My Honda CX 500:
