Comparing mileage on title in 1997 to mileage showing now in 2022, it's only showing a 3K mile difference. If he had it fully rebuilt and then not ridden much before being drained & parked as he claimed, that could be very good news.
You could hope so.Or it could indicate a non-functional odometer for an unknown number of miles/years.
The Mayor/Chad and I were talking about the round headlight/fairing conversion earlier today at the show. He's looking forward to getting his CX from Scout63. The I'm glad this bike isn't pristine. It will be easier to just relax and enjoy it, especially if the engine doesn't need a full rebuild to be a rider.
If your going to take this route with the rounded head light, replace the whole harness with Greg Bender’s work. The original switches on mine were in bad shape so they were changed a long time ago. I ground off the tabs on the top clamp to make it look more intentional but it is a bit of work. My bike was in pretty bad shape when I got it with unknown miles, but I’ve always taken good care of the bike. One day as I was a block from home the engine started clanking and it turn out to be a bad crank shell which I found out later that they had a batch of bad shells for those bikes.
Cool, you need to post a video when you can. The original Bosch starter on my CX always struggled cranking the engine even with a new battery, but works perfectly fine with a Valeo starter. The funny thing is that the Bosch starter will work in my 1000S and now resides in the LeMans I. Never could figure that one out.
That sounds great Cliff, you'll like it when done.
The noise is most likely a result of the lightened flywheel. Much less damping of combustion impulses causing accelerating and slowing of clutch package and therefore causing rattle.Brian
Out of curiosity, how much of a difference does a lightened flywheel make? Not that I would do it to my LM1 at this point, just wondering what the effects are.
.... but you give up momentum with the lighter flywheel
Cool, you need to post a video when you can.
Seat was replaced
Well, I'm headed to ATL to pick it up tomorrow afternoon.
Lower fairings would be the same as an SP.Larry
I remember Roper saying alloy timing gears were trash. Did you look under the tank for the original color?I once had a CX that came all taken apart in boxes.
