Funny you mention, I just broke down the other day right as I was turning to ride back on the farthest I have taken the bike yet haha! Got home and it fired right up of course, but I know breaking down at this point of the build is almost surely going to happen on a few occasions! hahaha

Hello all, I have a friend, actually its my girls grandpa, who is riding around malaysia and had a cdi fail on his 79 cx500 Looking for a good deal on one, because after shipping a $140 CDI gets twice as expensive real quick! haha thanks!

I have a friend stranded in Malaysia that needs that cdi! How much you looking to get for it?

Awesome looking bike! Reading about how you got it finally running right and taking it out for a good long rip got me stoked on getting mine wrapped up. Never had a motorcycle before, but the 360 is an absolute blast!

generally not needing choke for cold starts indicates a rich running engine. However, that really depends on what "cold" is to you ;D

Love the bike! It is very similar to what I have going with my 360 and I really dig the look you got going. Where did you get the shorty mufflers? I dig the sound in the vid

Got this bike almost 2 years ago for free from a friend of my dear mom. I honestly had no idea about these bikes, cafe bikes or anything until I was offered this bike. I was warned it hadn't ran in many years and they had no idea what was wrong with it. It had sat in a garage for the most part...

It was still on youtube last week so you just have to search for it :)

Wanted to get a consensus on running a cb without the rear hoop. I am really new to motorcycles, and I would like to just remove the rear hoop. I love how it looks, and I trimmed up the rear fender so it has a nice clean look to it. Will running without the stock slide in type hoop have any...

looking for a pair of exhaust collars (4 pieces) in useable shape, any of the bikes have those? Not the ones that bolt to the head but the ones that fit over the end of the pipe that slide in the head, they are c-shaped

check for vacum leaks around the carbs

Dually noted ;) I am not sure I like the fenderless look, I just pulled the front off to see how it would come out. Fender needs a refresh so while I wait on parts, i am going to clean up the exhaust and fenders

I hesitate to use the term cafe racer for my bike thus far, but eventually it will be one haha Basic stuff like regular maintanance and a set of clubmans so far. Hope to eventually do some track day events and get a true cafe style seat and rear sets. Almost road ready now, just need to...

Thanks for the tips, I will keep them in mind with the replacement I was pretty happy for long it lasted with how bad I treated it, Got a new one coming from a friend who had a new lead acid style battery so I will treat that one much better since it will be more sensitive to discharging...

Thanks for the condolences, I was pretty sure it kicked the bucket. I have been pretty hard on it over its life, I mean it was in my track car. It sat at a decent charge most the time but the head and cranking at track days and autox events took its toll. I was kick starting the bike for...
