Price such bike ? How much is it such bike ???

Did you custom make the seat bracket or did you purchase it?

Wow! Just beautiful. Much respect for the effort, dedication, artistry, and craftsmanship that went into this project. Very well put together, and the quote in the beginning is a wonderful theme/attitude

[@sanitvr]

man, one of the most beautiful engine sounds ever created! And my god, what a awesome motorcycle modification!

[@dangillotti559]

My late father had a cx 500 in the 80's brought back memories of him and I riding motorcycles together. You are truly gifted, a Leonardo Davinci of motorcycles...

[@halibut1249]

Special satisfaction when you know you assembled every last inch of this bike and know it mechanically inside and out. Great looking result!!

[@Don-lw4cb]

I'm always amazed at the knowledge and talent of the young people who successfully take on these builds. Well done you are to be admired.

This is so satisfying to watch! I've restored 2 bikes (1981 Yamaha XJ550 Maxim and a 1982 Yamaha XJ650R Seca) but no where near the level of restoring/building that I just witnessed in this video. Hats off, man! this was a very tasteful build!

[@martinhogan5970]

LOVED THIS. When the music stopped midway through the vid, I almost threw my phone away... but I stayed and the tracks came back!! Great build. Father in law had a CX500 years ago. I didn’t think I’d enjoy it- I rode a CBR600. The bike was FAB! It would have been a dream with this conversion!! Great job!!

[@vl4d904]

Amazing modification ! No word to say how i love it and hope someday i could ride over a beautiful bike like this one. Congratulations !

[@KH-rb1sg]

@@TahitianRider Speaking of the mono-shock - which shock did you use? Is that a standard shock spring? It's just the coils seem quite widely spaced.

Kick ass build!! My jaw is on the ground. I had a 1982 CB500 Custom when I was in HS (82-86) and I was so proud. I thought it was fast and fun, but looking back it was a pig. But it was so cool. Your bobber is badass. You cut 25% of the weight (I hope you added some ponies). Well done!

[@harrylime5147]

Why the music?This beautifully done machine does not need music. A fellow road racer years ago got into a tank slapper on his TZ 250 when his foot slipped off the foot peg. His leg swung around and got grabbed by the rear wheel that was wide open like this CX 500 rear wheel is. It pulled his leg in and broke it in 9 places. Doctors were barely able to save his leg. I like the design, I always loved the CX motor, the way they twisted the cylinders 23 1/2° to bring the carburetors closer together out of the way and so they could be operated by a single cable on a bell crank rather than with 2 seperate cables...I loved how they had the exhaust going out wide to miss the radiator and the frame tubes. I like how they spun the clutch in the opposite direction of the crankshaft to eliminate the torque effect that Guzzis have.. The CX 500 was actually designed right from the start to be turbocharged. I actually sold the very first CX 500 turbo to enter the Pittsburgh market to my riding buddy. 4999+ tax out the door. There is also a guy that went around the world two times on a Honda CX 500, with his girlfriend on the back. The story was in motorcyclist magazine both times about 20 years ago. The only problem the guy had of any significance was, one of his shock mounts broke off the frame. I wish Honda would bring back the CX pushrod transverse motor layout and a modern version with fuel injection, but leave it have a pushrod design so it would have smaller heads. Very nice job on this machine, but every time I see that wide open rear wheel, I remember my friends leg

[@TahitianRider]

Music because the timelapse videos don't have any soundThanks man, you sure seems to know the CX very well, never heard about that guy that went around the world, I probably was just been born lol. Yeah I might do a cafe racer seat version to prevent from slipping off the bobber seat onto the wheel, or something similar. I won't be racing this bike though, its more of a casual ride.

[@thomasduhamel6766]

nice work man, shes a beauty. you can be proud
