Posted: Tue Nov 02, 2010 4:57 pm
i have built alot of really neat stuff for other people my hole life and non compair to the task at hand. the 79 cbx i have is by far the one i want to keep and i hope to pull a rabbit out of my *** before im done so that i can keep this one.
this bike shows 14,945 miles and is all there. the last tag is from 1993.and was stored indoors since then. prior to that i dont know anything about it. the paint is a little faded and the seat is coming apart indicating it sat outside at one point of its life. the exhuast is decent on the right, rough on the left, but not good enough for a full resto. the rear sprocket is not stock and the tool pouch and owners manual are missing. the stock ignition switch has been replaced with something that looks more briggs and stratton than honda. other than that its all there and in decent shape. i have it down to the bare frame. i found on ebay replacement decals for the frame and the body work. any input as to the quality of these decal sets before i start buying this stuff blindly will be appreciated. next question is the exhaust. original is best by far, if that is not available what is the next best choice? i intend to paint this myself and wish to find the exact color match to the factory red. thanx for any input . have a nice day.
