Start with a stock CX500 front end
Remove everything
Add clip-ons, lower the headlight with aftermarket clamps, and remove the broken gauges.
Observe the worst seating position ever and figure out how much material I’ll need to remove to put the clipons above the triple tree.
This is what the bike looked like yesterday morning.Test fitting the new seat, front end is all done, things are generally well put together. Annoyingly I was getting no spark with the new engine, so...
Here we are 2 hours later. Going to be swapping the stator from my old engine, which means buying and waiting for a $20 rear cover gasket to arrive. Yay.
I also started stripping the rear end.The section of frame behind the shock will be all removed. The carbs are also pouring gas from the fuel feed tube so I need to pull them apart and replace the o-rings. Yay?
If only EssExTee could be so grossly incandescent

I want a bike. I doubt I could ever ride it but it seems like a good way to boost my wrenching skills.

Don’t need to take things apart when 60% of it is right there and a few 10mm sockets away.

10mm? no, no. This is an 80s Honda motorcycle. 8mm and 12mm everywhere with 14mm thrown in to taste.

They’re shockingly uncommon on this bike.
