CX500 Cafe Racer Kit
CX500 Cafe Racer Kit
The CX500 Cafe/Bobber kit from L.M.C contains a subframe, lower shock mount and battery relocation box. It does require a small amount of welding, but the entire conversion could be done in one day. It transforms the mundane CX into a retro, eye catching machine. Coupled with the L.M.C designed exhaust, your CX will now be a real conversation piece anywhere you ride it.
This kit converts the '78-82 Honda CX500 into a mono-shocked cafe, or bobber, depending on which direction you go. It is almost completely bolt on, except for the lower shock mount. That could be bolted on as well, but I recommend welding it. The battery box goes underneath the rear of the engine where the exhaust crossover plenum originally went. The stock exhaust collector WILL NOT work with this battery box. This is a "builders" kit that requires a little bit of mechanical inclination. Depending on the interest, I will be providing a more extensive kit, with all the bolts and spacers. But this listing is for just what you see in the pics. It uses a Kawasaki EX650 rear shock, and traditional bobber seat. Although, you could easily adapt a cafe seat on it.
