THIS IS MY 1979 CBX 1000 HONDA 6 CYLINDER I HAVE OWNED THIS BIKE SINCE 1981. MY LATE FATHER WAS THE GEN MANAGER OF THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP . HE REPOSSESSED IT AND I COULD NOT LIVE WITH OUT IT . I HAVE ADDED A FEW NEW OLD STOCK PARTS THRU THE YEARS . THE CRASH BARS ARE NOS HONDALINE . THE PIPES WERE NOS OUT OF THE PARTS ROOM STOCK, BUT THE BIKE HAS BEEN RIDDEN A BIT SINCE I PUT THEM ON IT. I ALSO SWAPPED THE BRAKE LINES FOR STAINLESS AND DOT 5 FLUID . IT HAS A DAYTONA BRAND FRONT FORK BRACE , AND AN AFTERMARKET SET OF ALUM, GRIPS/ WITH BUILT IN THROTTLE HANDEL. AS (I KEPT PULLING THE A THROTTLE CABLE END) OUT OF THE PLASTIC HANDLE, WHEN I GRABBED A BIG HAND FULL OF THE 6 CARBS. SO I INSTALLED THIS SET UP YEARS AGO. YOU CAN KEEP A BETTER HOLD ON THE BIKE AND GRAB A BETTER HAND FULL OF THROTTLE ! THE TANK HAS A LIGHT ZIPPER SCRATCH ON THE LH REAR SEE PICS AND 2 SMALL STONE CHIPS ON THE RH FRONT ALSO SEE PICS. THE REAR TAIL HAS A VERY LIGHT SCRATCH THAT MAY BUFF OUT ALSO IN PICS. THIS BIKE HAS BEEN SITTING IN OUR SHOWROOM WINDOW ON DISPLAY FOR THE LAST 25 YEARS OR MORE. LAST WEEK WE GOT IT OUT, CLEANED IT UP AND SERVICED IT , HOOKED IT TO A TEST TANK AND BATTERY . THE BIKE STARTED RIGHT UP AND RAN VERY GOOD FOR A BIKE THAT HAS BEEN IN STORAGE THIS LONG. WHEN WE PUT IT ON DISPLAY THE TANK WAS DRAINED AND THE BATTERY REMOVED. THE INSIDE OF THE TANK LOOKS DECENT WITH SOME VERY LIGHT RUSTING. SELLER WILL INCLUDE A NEW BATTERY WHEN SOLD. WOULD MAKE A NICE STARTING POINT FOR RESTORATION . OR JUST A NICE RIDER . BIKE MUST BE PICKED UP HERE AT OUR SHOP IN KINGSPORT TENNESSEE 37660 E MAIL SELLER FOR ANY OTHER INFO OR PICS .
