1980 Honda CX500 Custom bobber cafe Up for sale, a recently completed Custom Honda CX500 cafe bobber style bike. There is an option of "make offer", so don't hesitate to submit one. Started with a clean, low-mile 1980 donor bike with clear title. (see attached pictures of donor bike to see how clean it already was). I have a video of bike running which includes a walk around. For whatever reason, eBay won't let me embed the video in this ad. Go to youtube and paste this into search tab and you will see the video: PNgzl2z6XsM Before continuing with the bike, a little about me first. I am an amateur bike builder. I do about 1-2 builds per year in my spare time after work. I have completed a dozen builds. Several have been sold around the country and a few were shipped overseas (New Zealand and UK). I have been featured in bikeexif, silodrome, bike shed, bikebound and return of the cafe racers. I only mention this because this is not my first endeavor. I have lots of experience and I build these properly. If you want to message me, I would be happy to share links to those sites mentioned above. Now to the bike: Everything on the bike is rebuilt or new. It was completely stripped down and every nut, bolt, seal, part, etc was inspected/ cleaned/ replaced/ renewed. I completed this bike over the winter. It runs, drives, shifts like it should. It has won local awards at bike shows. I am selling to fund my next project.
