I love a RED bike!

Years (decades) ago I chromed the carbs and cases to my 1978 KZ1000, painted it RED, and loved it dearly. My only problem was when I rode it, or rained, or just got dusty I had to clean it (again).

Now I ride the (stock) '03 FJR and let the rain wash it. I saved lots of time and $$$, but mostly I own it to ride, not to show. JMHO

Wow ... I pushed the bidding up to $6,500 ... I've always loved the CBX ...

The pipes look like the one's I have on my VFR - Laser, from Holland

(And I would have posted a pic of them, but the s/w is being annoying again)

 

[bluesdog]

That's one bad-***, pimped-out cbx!

Can't say I care much for the lumpy gas tank, tho'.

 

[kamal]

Now THAT is a nice bike!

How would you classify it, a street-fighter I guess?

 

[lnewlf]

Needs two more cans...

 

[majicmaker]

That's a whole lotta Bling!

Yea, I'm wondering how they pulled that off on the bottom? 6 into 2 into 4?
Cans look styled off the MV Agusta.

I'd love a CBX, but that one just doesn't do it for me. It's too much like Paul Jr. got his hands on it on American Chopper.

Seen in Hope, BC last year.

The owner had just purchased it, and was riding it home to Vancouver from New York.

The bike is completely pristine stock, and iirc had @ 3500 miles on the clock.

There is a guy I used to run into at Cafe Racer meets in Cincinnati that specializes in restoring / rebuilding CBX's ...

Love the pipes. The tank is an abomination.

Must not actually ride it very much. Has velocity stacks with no air filters. You'd be re-building the top end in about 20k miles like that.

 

[not2shabby]

What is the big filter under the carbs on the left side for? I thought it was turboed for a minute.

 

[garyahouse]

I've been sitting here studying that big filter you mentioned , not2shabby.

It certainly looks like some sort of a filter, doesn't it? But it looks like more than that, those fins look more like cooling fins than the pleats of an air filter. I'd have to rule out turbo or supercharger, ya got open carbs w/o any pressurized manifold. What else could be that size? Looks like it has some sort of hose or wire running out to connect to it. The text said the bike has an air ride system. So I'm gonna guess that it's a high pressure air pump.

I'm stumped.

The mother of all PVC filters? Given the location, perhaps an air or electric shifter or summat like that?

Oh man. You should have kept it forever. Super nice!

 

[gixxerjasen]

I'd sell that bike in a heartbeat. Too much pressure to keep it pretty and clean, and I suck at that.
