1978 CX500 Cafe
Here is a bike you don't see to many cafe versions of . I think the Deluxe tank is an awesome cafe tank
stock! Also this bike case factory notched handlebar controls which anyone doing a cb cafe should check into as they are quite abundant on auction sites!
Not totally done with this cx bu just check the before and after!

Well, would like to run a gel battery and maybe do some guage faces. The engine is gonna be repainted gloss black as the flat just didnt turn out the way I had envisioned it. Polish the carbs and valve covers up some more . Other than that I would love to find a european model front wheel with the dual dik brakes. Thought about drilling the rotors. Might find some cooler clutch and brake levers. other than that .... ride it while listing it for sale. I got it for $200 bux so I'd love to sell it at a premium price and keep building bikes. Would love to find a cl450 scrambler or a rd400 . This bikes engine is really cool though. I wouldnt mind getting another one down the road and doing it all over again. The tank and engine really are awesome for stock . It is encredibly low to the ground as well. Oh one other thing , I got some jets on the way from jets are us so that should richen up the mix and krush the flat spot in 3rd. Other than that make some cool moto rides and take some cool pix!

Where abouts in NC are you?? I am in Charlotte
 
Nice. I like the cafed CXs. Nice work.

I'm in dowtown greensboro for the next few months.
 
Welcome,

I'm in Harrisburg, about 5 miles from the speedway. I've got a CB450 cafe and a CB350 stocker. Still kicking myself about not acting fast enough on a CX650 for $300 on CL in Charlotte a few months back.
