Got myself another V Twin

[Styler4077]

Half the CC's of my Storm's But it's still a Honda.

Got this



And the parts to make one of theses.



It will go well with my "Domiracer" I think.

[lloydie]

nice plan , i hope you do keep us updated on the build

[VTRDark]

That's a lot of under seat storage. How many bikes have you got now. Are you opening up a museum

(:-})

[lumpyv]

brilliant !, another bike from my yoof that i fancied but never got.
do the parts come as a kit or just the random bits you reckon you need?
i liked the little cafe racer kit that used a suzuki savage engine that was on here ( i think ) the other day

iirc they had a common fault (like our cct,s) was it crankshaft bearings ??

[Kev L]

Nice. +1 on the build thread. Be really interesting to see the bike come together.

Nice one should look great,god it reminds me how much I used to love my cxs,had one standard,one fully kitted out for touring that was great,then a cx650 eurosport that was fantastic,saw one cafe faceted at squires coffee bar (Leeds) it looked ace ,sounded great Sewell,turned quite a few heads ,good luck with the build mate hope to see pics on here soon.

I had a GL400 custom, CX500 Custom, CX500A (x2) and a Silverwing. Good old bikes all of them but a bugger if the rev counter cable broke!

[AMCQ46]

Nice project, they can look the part when done well, so go for it

Bloody hell Kev, what did you want with so many plastic maggots, are you the chairman of the CX owners club?

Could you get them in blue? Maybe explain the rev counter not registering. My mate had one, black, same time I had a GPz550. No comparison

Oh, Styler looks like a great project - might pop round sometime to see how it's getting on, drink tea, nod unknowledgably and eat bikkies

[Kev L]

Thanks for that Andy, you can be such a bitch!!!!
I used to buy and sell a few bikes and CX's always went well.

Miaow - to be fair his one he had for over ten years or so, the thing was indestructible and he couriered on it whilst the kwak I had was a bit tempremental.

I used to go into Chasbikes to get bit's for the CX's and they loved them. Chas himself reckoned the maggot was good for 100,000 miles before any major overhaul whilst the GT's needed work at 30,000 to keep them going.
Funny configuration that engine. I heard once that it was designed as a marine lump, but that may have been an evil northerner trying to have me over!!

[mik_str]

actually a pretty cool bike back in the day.....

[NHSH]

That use to be the favorite bike for tourists coming down under to Oz for long distance travel, was reliable and relatively good gas per Km
There was the occasional water pump seal, but other then that pretty much bullet proof

[Flatline]

Nice
