1978 Honda CX500. Five years ago, I’d never have picked the Honda CX500 as a target for custom bike builders. But it’s now rapidly finding favor, being a cheap and reliable platform that can be transformed into a slinky, contemporary custom—as the Wrenchmonkees discovered six months ago with their own CX500. This machine belongs to Dave Mucci, who got hooked on motorcycles three years ago. “I studied industrial design in Detroit, and in my senior year, I took a motorcycle design class.
The instructor was a phenomenal inspiration. He raced time trials in his day, and has a collection of over 60 vintage motorcycles. That class got me hooked: I’ve always been into vintage cars, but since that semester I’ve wanted a vintage motorcycle.” “It was a 1978 CX500 Standard from a guy in Michigan. Mucci finished the build in June, and had been riding his CX500 for only a few weeks when “a lady in a big ole SUV backed into it while it was parked.
But Mucci’s pretty happy with the way the CX500 turned out. Ardcore Choppers : Specializing in custom metric frames, choppers and parts : Indianapolis, Indiana.

1981 Honda CB - Ontario Street Motorcycles, Cruisers, Choppers For Sale - Kijiji Ontario Canada. NGW Club--Goldwing Forums. I was going to "steal" the subject line from Speedy (1978 GL1000 Mid-Life Crisis Project) since I fell into a similar category. No kids or kids are grown (in my case), spare time on my hands and a desire to get back to riding. I also found this bike on Craigslist and fell in love with the style. I envisioned a stripped down version and looked at every pic in the gallery here on NGW to come up with ideas of what I'd do if I had it.
The previous day, I was in my shop tinkering away on another restoration project (non-bike) and my father made a visit. I got telling him about this bike and showed him pics, he said - YOU SHOULD GET IT! So as the story goes, the next day or so, I've contacted the owner and made arrangements to view the bike. Once we arrived, we looked it all over and it looked great for the year, had some new parts recently installed and ran but ran rough. And get more ideas as we go.
