Honda CX500C description

For sale is my beloved CX500 Custom, with aesthetic modifications towards a cafe racer/tracker style bike.

Modifications:

Matte black tank and side covers

Matte black exhausts and rims

Daytona handlebars

dual sport rear wheel

new battery

removed front signals

new seat (amateur build)

The parts I've taken off that come with the bike:

Original cx500 custom double seat in great condition

Original handlebars

Front turn signal casings

Problems

The bike has been my primary mode of transport for the past year, inspected and insured in NYS, until last month when the power went out. I think there is a charging problem - it has just had a new battery put in. Runs great after a bump or jump start, electrics all fine and the engine sounding good. Just need to work on the charge problem.

The only other problem to my knowledge is that the brake signal from the handlebar isn't working.

This is a great opportunity for someone to upcycle this bike, either with an original restore or to an even better cafe racer / tracker / bobber. Viewings available. Payment by cash or paypal.
