Honda Other description

Cleaning out the garage - I'm downsizing to a condominium and the bikes have to go.  I am the 2nd owner of this vintage CX500 that I bought in 1980.  It sat in the garage unused for a number of years as I moved on to a Harley Davidson and just lost interest in it.  I recently went through it and changed all the fluids and tinkered with it to get it ready for sale.  Everything works - all the electrics, drive-train, ...  although it does run poorly - unresponsive, surges a bit, but does idle just fine after it's warmed up.  No doubt this is because the carbs are likely gunked from sitting too long so they need a thorough cleaning.  This bike is all stock (except for the little clip-on windshield you see in the pictures).  The tank is clean inside with no dents but there is a blemish to the graphic on the right side where I spilled some brake fluid while filling the master cylinder and a nick where the seat meets the tank (small).  Seat is perfect - no rips or defects.  The right fork seal weeps a little bit of oil (not bad enough to replace) but I did replace the left one as it was leaking too much.  The tires look good but they're ancient and should be changed.  It does have the markings on the crankcase showing the that stator has been serviced (original owner took care of that).  It has all the normal wear and tear you would expect from a 35 year old bike.  It's a good starting point if you're a VJM enthusiast and want to do a concours restoration.
