1982 CX500 Custom

Steve, This Cx looks like it rolled out of a shop in Bologna. I can taste the chianti. Is that a Ducati desmo fairing?

Nup, the Desmo fairing is too long for the CX as the heads get in the way, this is a from a Laverda SFC but it is a mold taken off of a race bike so It's from a replica of a SFC. I basically tried a bunch of fairings and ended up with this as it was close to the right size.

Cheers
Steve

Laverda was my second guess...along with the orange.

The paint is a Honda colour, a nod to Hondas racing pedigree. It's Repsol orange
