I won't do it to this bike because I like the bagged Interstate touring capabilities of the bike. If I could find a good priced second GL/CX this is what I'd like to do....
This isn't a CX It's origanally a CB750. I'm not a big fan of upright fours. I had an old CB550 I found it noisy. There was both engine and chain noise. I like the bullet nose cone on this bike but I don't think I care for the lowers. I think I'd like something like this and the next photo....
The above bike is great looking bike in its finish. I think the white pin stripes are the thing that ad the most to the bike. I like that the CX/GL bikes are two cylinders and water cooled with shaft drive, I think it makes them very low and easy maintenance. You only need to work on two sets of valves, there is no chain, and only two carbs to deal with.
There are others...
This is a great looking bike. Where do they keep the battery?
I've been contemplating the re-painting of my GL. Although, there are many paint schemes I like, I think I'll probably go with a silver. There was a silver Interstate model. I don't think the OEM Honda paint did it justice, I think I'd do more flake.
This one is pretty radical. It's an 82 like my bike, it has a mono shock. Again where's the battery?
This is a Nice Rendering...
This is what my bike should, could look like....
The one thing I'd like to find is a drivers back rest.
