1979 Honda CBX

CB12014605

Clear

FIRST YEAR MODEL OF THE FAMOUS CBX-I BOUGHT THIS WITH THE INTENTION OF A TOTAL RESTORATION OR CAFE CONVERSION BUT LIKE MANY OTHER STORIES ON EBAY, I'M OUTTA TIME AND TOO MANY OTHER PROJECTS ARE DEMANDING MY TIME, SO I RELUCTANLY DECIDED TO SELL. CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE PIX WILL SHOW THIS IS NOT A ROAD READY BIKE-CURRENTLY NOT RUNNING BUT THE LIST OF REPAIRS TO GET IT READY IS SHORT-IGNITON SWITCH JUST SPINS, NEED A NEW ONE-BATTERY IS A GONER AND SINCE THE BIKE HAS SAT FOR OVER 2 YEARS, THE CARBS HAVE A GOT NICE GLOB OF VARNISH IN THEM. I BELIEVE IF THOSE ITEMS ARE ADRESSED, YOU'D HAVE A RUNNER. COSMETICALLY, BIKE NEEDS A TON OF TLC AND PAINT. I PAINT PROFESSIONALY AND I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO RESTORING THE COLOR AS ALL THE PARTS ARE UNDAMAGED AND STRAIGHT AND JUST NEED A NEW BASE COAT AND CLEAR. THE BIKE SEEMS COMPLETE AS FAR AS PROPER CBX PIECES WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THAT GOD-AWFUL SEAT! ALSO, THE FRONT SIGNALS ARE FROM ANOTHER HONDA, NOT A CBX AND THE HEADLIGHT BUCKET IS CRACKED. THROTTLE GRIP IS MISSING AS ARE THE MIRRORS. EXHAUST I BELIEVE IS STOCK 3 INTO 1 BUT MEGAPHONE CAPS ARE MIS-FORMED DUE TO SOME EXTERIOR HEAT. IF YOU WANT A COLLECTIBLE CLASSIC THAT YOU CAN BUILD YOURSELF, THIS IS A GOOD PLACE TO START! THE CBX'S ARE BECOMING MORE AND MORE DESIRED EACH YEAR WITH THE '79 BEING THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER. THE FIRST BIKE TO BREACH THE 100 HP LEVEL AND FIRST ONE TO BE BANNED IN EUROPE (ALONG WITH PERSONAL HYGIENE). EMAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS AND I'LL TRY TO GET BACK TO YOU QUICKLY-GOOD LUCK!
