CX500 Scrambler Build Intro! Yes, a new build is in the shop and this one is going to be a lot of fun! With the GL650 and CX500/650 builds almost complete it is time to bring another subject into the shop to start on.
This bike is a 1982 Custom model and will be transformed into a capable adventure-touring scrambler using choice components and fabrication. It will be a ton of fun when complete so stick around for this one!
Basic plan:
- Adapt 1983 Honda FT500 front forks
- Pro Taper handlebars
- Electronic fan conversion
- Taller rear YSS shocks
- Fabricate luggage mounts
- Build a 17" rear wheel using a Goldwing rim on the stock rear cx500 hub
- Combine vintage looks with real-world capability

Rear Shocks are a YSS 370MM made for a Yamaha XT500 but I am trying them out. Purchased here:
