CBX 1050 PHOTOS

[Tev62]

It is interesting to see how much the fined design extends down into the front of the engine castings compared to the CB1100, presumably to aid in engine cooling. Did the CBX not have an oil cooler, I can't see one or is it buried in the shadows? Good move if so, giving an unobstructed view of those six pipes.

It has a thin black oil cooler on top of the engine.
Because it's black, it's really hard to see in the photos, but in the X-ray picture it's item G

Well spotted, I missed that

Honda oil coolers were so tiny in the early 1980s.

Yes, I think that is what fooled me into thinking it didn't have one.
