Proud papa
You won't find another CBX like this one.  Honda didn't make it like this, I did.  From a wrecked 1990 Honda VFR I took the  fork, wheel, brakes, and handle bars, and the single sided swingarm with the wheel and brake.  I put these parts on a bare 1981 CBX frame.  The result is a CBX with modern suspension and modern radial tires.  I'm not finished with it yet. I plan to raise it slightly, and paint it black with orange striping.  I am also working on a 1305 cc (stock is 1047) motor that should produce about 120 rear wheel horse power.

Now I'm riding it...
