Do you remember the brand of aluminum polish you used on the carbs? It looks like it has some abrasive elements in the paste. The stuff I got didn't give near the same results but it wasn't the abrasive type of polish/cleaner.

Will you coat the fins with that too or just the outer frame of the radiator? I looks amazing and I hope it works out for you!

Re: '81 CX500...project 'shiny tank' This is what he said Miob. What are you coating the radiator with? Looks sooo much better like that than stock!

Re: CX500 - engine work has begun... slowly I have one too but my bike is all torn appart too while I'm stripping the frame so I haven't tested it yet.

Thanks for letting us know what system that is. I like the front of it more than the motad, or mac. Doesn't look cheap especially with shipping involved but when I get to that point we'll see what the wallet looks like :P

I apologize for resurrecting this older thread but was hoping miob might comment on the exhaust he posted here. So miob, what's the story on the pipes? Custom bent or is that a off the shelf set-up? I haven't seen that shape before on a off the shelf unit.

Re: CX500 - gonna start engine work soon My "garage" is pretty close to your set-up I use my cart port. It has no electricity so I use extension cords. No air compressor to speak of (can't run air tools). I also working above a sandy ground. I used 2x8's and two layers of 5/8" plywood to make...
