What an awesome motorcycle. I had one for a demo bike for awhile when I was in the business. Loved it, but was afraid of the complexity.

 

[Red Mist_imp]

I rode one of those in 1983 and thought it was great. Never wanted to own one, though.

Ferret I have worked hard for about 3 months trying to find parts etc and doing all the work myself except the paint I got a friend that got the candy glory red to a very good match. I got a cbx body set on eBay now for sale it's at $1,200 now I hope it hits $1,500 but even at $1,200 I'm ok. He is painting 2 more tanks and 3 rear tail cowls now and I already got 3 fenders painted from him. So I have at least 3 full sets to sell! Some honda parts that you can't buy in the USA you can buy in the UK from honda that's where I got my new tank badges from

Red : right now the 1979 cbx1000 is in 2nd to the sandcast cb750. But now 2 sandcast. 79 cbx have been found they will surpass the 750 sandcast. The 79 cbx was the only year with a 150 mph speedo about 6 weeks ago or so vin # 3 cb750 sold for. $148,000 I'm sure some of y'all saw it.

Looking good! You will have a great pair of bikes. I have a red 1979 CBX and 2013 CB 1100. They look great parked side by side. Amazing how much they look alike. Pictures posted in CB1100 photos section under My Red Heads.

Outstanding job! Great find. Keep us posted, my dream is to have a 1970 CB750, a CBX and my CB1100.

Yes the cb1100 looks more like the cbx than the cb 750 are you a member of cbx world ? I will try to find your pics ! I got to rebuild my carbs next then put them on motor with air box then install motor. My stock pipes are in great shape! I found a guy that makes the stock drivers foot rubbers I have them also just got to install them. If you need handle bar switches let me know. I know a guy that makes them also.

Thanks Gary !!

Rick: nice pics of the redheads! Did you paint the motor black on the cbx ? Which bike pulls harder? That's a great pair.

Beautiful and one of my all time favorite bikes though I never owned one. Please post regular updates.

 

[The Spaceman_imp]

Damn that's sweet! I'll own a CBX someday, unless Honda rolls out a new I-6 first. I rode the BMW 1600 and it was amazing...but just not an air-cooled Honda.

 

[Ridem32_imp]

I wish honda would make the inline 6 just one year they would sell out fast! Mine has 4 cams 24 valves. 6 carbs

God damn, we all know how amazing it was when Honda came out with our modern versions of the CB750, and its amazing...can you immagine, seriously...CAN YOU IMAGINE....if they made a modern version of the CBX? Like...oh my god! CBX is literally one of the coolest bikes ever! EVER!

 

[Tortuga_imp]

Your feet don't match. :dodgy:

A modern CBX with EFI. I'd be soooooo tempted. Damn your CBX looks nice.

 

[Ridem32_imp]

Rboe: there is a guy on the cbx forum that put EFI on a 79 cbx from a BMW car it looked very neat and nice. 6 injectors another guy put 2 motors together and made a 12 cylinder cbx it's on YouTube and it's bad. The guys in Europe can build or make anything it's unreal.

[12cb96vfr_imp]

the only bike i would sell everything I own to buy would be a modern CBX, can you imagine the modern reliability on an inline 6?

can't wait to see the finished product!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Rick Froscheiser_imp]

Ridem32, the guy i bought it from painted the cylinders when he had it apart to replace the gaskets. The motor is original has not been rebuilt. it has 21500 miles on it.
I think the CBX but that could just be me. They are both fun to ride.
