Honda CX500

This photo was provided by the bike's owner and shows the engine removed from the bike but before any cleaning and restoration

Forks, before a good clean.

Forks before and after so that you can easily compare the difference

My customer sent me this photo of the restored and re-assembled engine.

The Honda CX500 was released in the late 70s and featured a V twin engine with water cooling, electric only starting and shaft drive.


As you can see in the first pic, the engine was crying out for restoration.
