1980 Honda CX500
Roast Moto 006 is based off of a 1980 Honda CX500. The bike comes standard with a dual shock suspension system, eliminating that was the main modification made to this project. The stock Honda swing-arm was modified to house a single rear shock and a custom seat pan was fabricated to anchor the mono-shock underneath the floating Biltwell pan seat. The new shock is a Showa, taken from a 1997 Ducati. Once all the frame and structural components were fabricated and installed, the bike was powder coated. Moving forward on the bike, a custom monochromatic paint job was completed in-house by Tyler Dugan. The underbelly of the bike is shaped by a custom exhaust set-up, comprised of two straight, 1& 1/2 inch, pipes. The air filter and engine ventilation filter have been replaced with K&N pod filters. Finally, a wiring harness reduction and customization was completed and runs forward to an Acewell speedometer and bullet turn signal set-up. The standard CX500 mag wheels are powder coated and wrapped in Coker Firestone Tires.
