CX500 Project - The Cafe

Some months ago my friend, Bart, bought a Honda CX500 from 1980.


This bike was reasonably well maintained and has a fairly low milage. The main reason of purchasing this particular model being a rebuilt into a cafe-racer. Inspiration comes from Motomucci, Wrench-monkeys and the like.

Eagerly to begin most of the bike was in parts right the next day.

Since then we've modified, painted and replaced parts.

The current state of the bike is something like you see below.
At the moment we are in the process of fabricating a seat. Surprisingly the initial shape is already roughly what we had in mind. It does need some more trimming and shaping.

I will get into some of the details of the bike later on.
