KlubFoot Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I picked up a 1978 CX500 from some tattoo artist downtown. I'm not too familiar with the Japanese bikes, so I'm probably gonna be on here asking a bunch of questions. I rode the bike home, but it needs a good bit of electrical work as whoever did the custom worked hillbilly rigged the hell out of it. I've already picked up some new parts from The Rice Paddy, so hopefully she'll be out on the road soon. http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h60/SlowMotiion/Oktoberfest002.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h60/SlowMotiion/Oktoberfest001.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h60/SlowMotiion/Oktoberfest004.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KlubFoot Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 I got the bike running amazingly well (after about 30+ hours of work on my back patio). Rewired the whole bike, removed and cleaned the heads, replaced the entire electrical and charging system and gave it a nice fresh tune up. Well... after all the hours I had in it, and quite a few failed test runs, I finally got the formula correct. Everything was done with exception of wiring up the taillights... need I explain the rest of the story? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Let me guess, you had too much fun on it? Or maybe you had too much fun before you were licensed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KlubFoot Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 No. A couple cops decided that the fact that I didn't have taillights was enough of a reason to interupt them eating their Taco Bell and impound my bike. I was given the pat down, had to sit in the back of the cruiser for 20min until I had another ride and when my ride showed up IN A PICKUP TRUCK... I was told the bike is being impounded.

kinkinhood Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Unfortunately you probably fit a profile of many riders in Columbus that tend to disregard public safety and was given the short end of the stick on this one. Hope you're able to get it back in the same condition it got picked up in and can fix the tail lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
