Always!!

Looking through my old pictures and found this. 1980 CBX, with sport kit, a pair of super-bright Cibie lights, VDO gauges, Koni shocks, and a pair of Hella-loud Hella horns. Not a '79.

I loved the looks of the silver '79, but got an inside deal on a 1980. So I took it home, got all the '79 bodywork and the sport kit, out on VDO clock and oil temp gauges, Koni shocks, and a pair of hella-loud Hella horns.

Swapped out the 85mph speedo, and put on silver Comstars. The rear one had been widened by Honda's race team to a 2.50, and was the one used on the Cycle Magazine test bike they ran at Willow Springs. Cheaters!

I justified the crashbars as mounts for the super-bright Cibie lights. I put a couple of red gel filters behind the white covers, and one day, when a 280Z blasted past on the freeway, hit the lights for a few seconds, and he immediately pulled way over to the side of the freeway and stopped. I sailed by, got off at the next exit, pulled those covers off and tossed the red filters as soon as I could. Won't be doing that again! Wish I still had the bike though.

PD, thanks for posting your CBX = .... better late than never

OK, thanks pd/Joe

PB, can you post the CBX pics I sent? I’d like to hear what PD thinks about them. And to all, they aren’t my bikes.

Have you forgotten how to post pictures?

No, but PB does it so much faster! And he had the pics as I sent them in an email conversation we had the last couple of days.

The pics I took, the first 3, were taken at Honda of Norfolk’s 50th anniversary celebration a couple of years ago. Was a good time, lots of bikes and people. Their service manager/head mech has been there since day 1!!
