Nice'n' sparse. What are you going to do about a rear mudguard for MOT time? I think technically you can MOT without a front though.
Can I ask what year the CX is?

The rear is stayin as is cant see a problem come MOT time with the rear, still got the front muddy and huge number plate for the test. Although its tested till September I'll probably sell before then as I've got too many projects on the go.
Thanks for the comments, it's a 1981.

Is that a CDI model? I'm toying with the idea of getting a CX to lengthen/lower as an outfit project ... still doing research ;)

Nice clean build. As always, we in the states are wanting on the dual disc fronts. Guess you guys over the pond just brake harder!

Tell us more about the side cover "holes"

The holes are purely aesthetic, just made with a hole saw and some mesh siliconed to the inside,
Thanks.

Nah, I think it's because we have a different landscape and a road network based on tracks established 1000's of years ago and they are all twisty short stretches. Apart from the roads that the Romans left, which are straight as an arrow but go up and down like a big dipper.
