Been Around the Block
I paid just ($180) but got no title with it, need to pick it up tomorrow morning. It's a GL which has a few differences vs. the CX500. The mono shock and the ignition. Along with supposedly better front forks which have air valves.
I would like to hear any advice you have on the GL model! I only have experience with my old CX, here are finished pics of it, (it's black). I actually put 15,000 miles on it over only 2 years and was still perfect after I regretted selling it Just 6 months ago!
Despite a roached tank, headlight, and seat etc. most important things seem to be intact. I would rather find bikes like this that are just bone stock then buy a basketcase/ disassembled project that someone has worked on (without care). Atleast I know the carbs are here and havent been messed with or missing internals. Then obv rust is a big factor, pitting or severe rot on stuff like the H pipe is not fixable or polishable and costly $$$. These things are whats important, like straight front forks and useable oem parts.
