HONDA CX500 1978-82
Who would have thought that the humble Honda CX500 would turn out to be such a versatile platform for customization? When it first appeared Cycleworld said it looked "like an aircompressor", the Brits call it the "Plastic Maggot" and the Germans kindly refer to it as "Guellepumpe", which is the tank pump trailer that German farmers use to spray cowshit on their land.
Ten years ago you couldn't give these bikes away but the cafe phenomenon has given the CX a new lease on life. Even renowned builders such as Johann Keyser at Moto Motivo are turning these odd watercooled, shaft driven, push-rod V-twins into very clean, custom bikes.
It takes considerable skill to make a CX500 look this lithe and good! We've seen a lot of CX500 builds but almost all of them use a stock tank. Johann used our BSAT3 fuel tank and carefully mounted it onto the CX frame. The tank completely transforms the look of the bike! Subframe and seat unit were custom made. We have several seat options for the standard frame. Call us today for a recommendation!

CB75021 - CB750"K" CAFE TAIL SECTION
Honda CB 750 1969-77 Cafe seat
This cool cafe bubble seat was developed especially for the CB 750 K chassis to work with the stock seat latches and seat lock. It has two options to mount the seat lock (to match the different positions on early and late models). You can flip the seat up just like your stock seat to get acces to the battery, tools etc. This is as close to a bolt-on operation as it gets!
Works with the stock tank.
Add the upholstery pan below for a cushy seat and you’re ready to roll.

CB750DTOT - CB750 SOHC DIRT TRACK OIL TANK
CB750 Dirt track oil tank
Really trick lightweight oil tank with integrated inner rear fender. You will need to trim the flange around the top of the tank to match the frame contour so it fits between the frame tubes.
Comes epoxy coated, with a billet oil cap, 1/4″ vent fitting on top and 2x 3/8″ fittings on bottom.
Please note: Requires custom oil lines. We recommend you cut the ends of the stock lines on the motor side and have them put into new hoses. On the tank end you will need AN to 3/8″ NPT adapters.

CR4503 - 67 CR450 RACE TANK
Honda CR 450 fuel tank
This is an exact replica of the fuel tank Bob Hansen brought down to Kent Riches to duplicate. This is a long skinny gas tank that is actually longer than our CR750 gas tank but it is a little bit narrower. This tank is supplied with a 3/8 NPT bung in the bottom for a Pingel fuel valve (available from us) and comes with a chrome twist off cap.

CR4504 - 67 CR450 FRONT FENDER
Honda CR 450 front fender
This is the front blade that replaces your steel front fender. Honda engineers have designed your front fork assembly to work with that heavy steel fork brace. Do not take this fork brace off of your forks because the bike will have a severe wobble if you do.
Simply tank your stock fender assembly and drill the rivets out, then move the fork brace and the front and rear hoops off your heavy stock fender. Then screw our lightweight plate onto the front fork assembly and notice an immediate difference in suspension and reaction handling.

CR7501 - 68/72 HONDA CR750 FAIRING
CR750 Full fairing
Exact replica of the kit fairing assembly that Honda offered for the CB750's. This classic one-piece race fairing assembly is extremely popular for vintage conversions. A tall fairing assembly works well with most street bike chassis; the open belly pan at the bottom allows you to adjust the width of the bottom. You can suck the fairing in real tight if you are installing on a 350 or 450 twin or spread it out wide if you are putting it on a 6 cylinder CBX. This is a very versatile and universal fairing assembly for a lot of applications. This is the classis cafe fairing that you need for your conversion.

Turn your dirt tracker into a street tracker with this square numberplate that has an angled flat surface that can be used to mount a small square (or two small round) headlights, as shown on the yellow bike below.
The numberplate comes with a separate backing plate that will help mount the light and hide some wiring. You can bond the backing plate in place with clear silicone caulking.
