This is my 1978 Honda CX500
She was bought as non-runner. A broken bike, brought back to life with full re-design, custom fabrication, build, refurbishment and replacement.
Project time from purchase to road-worthy ~3.5 months.
More photographs and videos can be seen within my blog: http://markdelaney.tumblr.com
