My Honda CBX1000 Story / Ep. 03 - ‘Purchaser’s (My) CBX Overview’

[@SeanMadden-o8q]

The cbx was and still is my all time favorites.. my dream bike since I first seen one that my neighbor bought in 1983 when I was 14. It was twin shock original finished silver absolutely beautiful... and the sound was awesome. Can't wait to see more episodes on the cbx , best bike ever.

Yes I agree :) My CBX was silver (my preferred colour) although the previous owner painted it red and didn't bother with the decals and graphics. A job for the better weather.

Thanks for the video. I had a 1980 CBX for many years. I'd suggest checking, 1) gas shellac in carbs, 2) value clearance &cam chain tensioner 3) alternator brushes. A beautiful machine, congratulations

[@IanT-J]

Many thanks for your advice Mark. Hopefully I will keep my CBX for many years and more importantly travel many miles and have lots of adventures on it :)

I liked this one Ian. You recommended me to follow this build in the first CBX videos comment section, but if you don't recommend it, i do it anyway. I hope this bike will be soon on the road again, and you will enjoy it! 👍

Thanks you Sir I'm embarrassed how long it is taking me to make a start on fixing the CBX :( I hope to have it on the road by the summer.

Great vlog, that's going to make a lovely machine. Keep us posted with your progress

[@IanT-J]

Thanks Daniel, I guess I need to prioritise workshop time over the winter :)

Thanks for your support Jack :)

It looks like a little TLC and it'll running like new. I recently brought a 78, GS750E back to the road. an online company called Motorcycle products were really helpful in sourcing the correct caliper seals and other assorted parts that exactly matched the OE items. I hope that might be in some way helpful.

Many thanks Peter for the replacement motorcycle part firm advice. I'll add them to my list of suppliers :) www.motorcycleproducts.co.uk

Interesting video. Cheers

Cheers Andy - Hopefully it was "Interesting" and enjoyable :)

105hp is surprisingly low for a 1000cc 6 cylinder 24 valve bike engine.

I believe that's the correct horse power for the early CBX's. I think the later models were less powerful ! Remember they were 1970's technology running on carburettors :)
