1979 HONDA CX500 CUSTOM | Picture 2698750 motorcycle photo

First Ride. Frozen throttle was because of a frozen Carb. Frozen brake was crud under brake piston seal. Frozen engine fixed with marvel mystery oil in the cylinders over night and a push in top gear. Frozen starter was a tunk with a Hammer. Leaking antifreeze took a few miles to have seal swell back up on its own. Leaking carb is of course the needle valve and hopefully that will settle in. Forks leak too. Ive only owned it 5 days since it sat in a barn for 17 years... so going good really. $30 in detail products and a $30 battery invested so far. 9/27/2014.
