I'd say keep the bike for you. Don't let your dreams be dreams and let it go. I've learned that with cars and bikes when you talk to these older people. They always say "I used to own this and that back in the day" and watch their face just drop into a frown. Certainly don't want that to be you.
While I do fully understand that sentiment I actually know this won't be a bike I fall in love with in stock form. I like to modify everything as stock just doesn't do it for me. I wasnt around when these bikes were new so the meaning is different. I can promise you there is much more to come in CBX land I have yet to reveal.
"Honda is my jam" makes total sense to me:) I picked up a '79 CBX a couple of years ago, and I went through the whole bike except the engine....fortunately when I got it running it had only two issues leaking valve seals and spark boxes breaking down about 40 minutes into a ride...all fixed up now and runs great. It's a blast to ride!
You are not the only person on the planet excited to do a set of CBX carbs. I just had the first CBX in my shop and it needed plenty of work including a carb redo. They were really fun to take apart and put back together. It was a huge moment of pride when the bike started up and ran very well for not being vacuum synced yet. Excited to see where this bike takes you!
Had a chance to pick one of these up about 10 years ago, and I still have it. Great machine, lots of character. Your teardown vids are giving me the inspiration to clean all six carbs. :D :D
Had two of those from new when they first came out - great till they needed valves adjusted. Have never really missed 'em that much. I am glad you get to experience them.
very nice, congrats...I am also working on acquiring one that has originally 1700 miles and original tires (factory)...coated in decades of dust and dirt from sitting...super excited...enjoy brother
Definitely my dream bike I own. a 78 cb750 four super sport and I love it it’s completely stock for now. Looking forward to the content on this sir. Best of luck
They're just such a great looking bike. I'm a bit late to this series as I've only just found your channel. I remember it was a red one that came into the workshop I was running for a service. I test rode it and thought 'I have to have one of these!' I bought one off one of the directors of Honda Britain. He'd had it painted in the standard colour scheme but metal flake blue. The only blue CBX Honda ever made. This was around '82 I guess. It was amazing, I was only 17 riding the world's fastest production motorcycle 😍 I didn't know US models had those high rise handlebars. I'd definitely go for changing them for European low bars. The ones fitted to the dohc 750 and 900 fit straight on.
Great project. I had an '82 CBX, which was the last year and Honda had made them into a "sport touring" package with the sport fairing and hard bags. Bike was a brute, and reworking the carbs really broadened the powerband and made the bike a blast to ride.
Circa 1979/80 Earls Court Bike show, London. Me and my best friend stood with our tongues out Gawping at the first CBX on its show stand looking gorgeous in the spotlights. We both instantly fell in love. It was a "Dream Bike" something I always wanted. Some 40 odd years later, I still never had one. I couldn't afford one back then and I still can't...lol - My love for the CBX hasn't diminished. Im watching this series of videos with utter interest. Im new to you Chanel but love it. Im CX500 fan too. Love and big smiles from the UK :-)
Well thank you much! These are such iconic bikes and when this deal came up I had to jump and learn to swim later lol. I'll do the bike justice though!
@@BrickHouseBuilds Well I’ve watched a few of your videos now. I like your style of filming and commenting. Your clearly a very knowledgeable fella. I know for sure that CBX is in very competent hands. I couldn’t do what you do. This is one series of videos I won’t miss. As a footnote. Me and my best friend both had original CX500’s back in the late 70’s. They both suffered the cam chain tensioner issue at that time. I found you video on your CX project fascinating to watch as a CX fan myself. Was nice to see the engine inners. Back in the day, 4 valves per cylinder was BIG news. 😁👍
These bikes are the next big dollar machines. Really deserves a complete restoration back to factory new. Don't be surprised when this bike becomes a six figure bike like a Vincent or brought superior.
The CBX may only have 100hp which sounds weak today but in 1979 it scared the insurance companies to death. So much so that Honda claimed it made less in 1980 to keep insurance rates affordable. After a few years Honda turned it into a beautiful touring bike rather than a standard UJM/performance bike.
I used to own a cbx 1000. I absolutely loved it. The torque was so exciting pulling power wheelies would stretch the drive chain. I've looked at getting another now I'm older and more sensible. Just si I've got one.
Use to own a silver '79 CBX and sold it after getting a GoldWing....but sure wish I would have held on to it. Looking forward to watching and learning from this series!! I think we can tell from that back tire that the last thing this CBX did.....was one hellava burnout!!!
@@BrickHouseBuilds I have 3 great pictures of finishing off a tire with my CBX. Back in the day (late 90s) before TH-cam I had a website for my bike and a German CBX website stole my burnout pictures to post on their site....which was pretty cool at the time.
Damn nice pickup BJ! I’m honestly shocked that you aren’t keeping this one. I know we can’t always keep everything but you know how rare they are so…..🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
@@BrickHouseBuilds I have heard both hmm 🤔 I hope 🤞🏼 to one day find out when I own one =] I also noticed in my “research” namely TH-cam videos and online threads that many have said these motors are fairly fragile / high strung like super cars. The transmissions were not built strong enough and many stripped first and second gear doing pulls or wheelies etc. then you have the maintenance of an oil change every 1000 miles ….. however that being said. This bike is iconic and a dream to own and ride. If and when I get mine. I would baby it LoL right now I’m working on a cb1000 and a cb750 from 82 and 83. Those I don’t mind playing with especially the cb750.
@@BrickHouseBuilds yes I noticed ;) got recomendation from yt for part 3 so quickly jumped to number 1. Now after seeing all 3 parts you earned another subscriber ;) well done. I'm looking forward to this project. In meanwhile will go through your videos ;) Good luck
Dude with you standing next to it... she is a big girl. this is my dream bike too man. I let one get away from me a while back and I just can't forgive myself for it hahaha. Good for you man. Need to see will it run....
Hahaha me being 5'7" doesn't help that scale factor! I very much wish I could do a more grungy "will it run" on this but the risk of damage is too high so I have to take more caution here.
Since you are going through it now I recommend sending all of the hardware to United Plating in Tulsa, OK for cad plating. They will do either silver or yellow and charge by the pound. I did our KZ1000 and it looks real good. They specialize in aircraft hardware but they can do pretty much everything. It only works for steel, don't put any aluminum in there, the acid cleaning makes it disappear.
@@BrickHouseBuilds Yeah, that can be a problem. I had a parts bike so sent 2 bikes worth of hardware out. Things like the axles, long engine mount bolts, brake disc hardware, chain adjusters and even kickstand springs come back looking better than new. One cool thing about Japanese bikes is that the wrong hardware rarely fits in the wrong holes!
A friend bought a showroom condition CBX a couple of months back, it’s only covered 5k miles from new, it’s beyond brilliant 🙂, I’m putting together a video on it now to go on my channel that starts in January, I’ll get a link to you when it’s done 👍
Great find !! New subscriber !! I to have a 1979 CBX project. Looking forward to seeing your build. My one comment. I do believe all 1979’s came with a Silver engine. The black engine was for 1980 model year. The engine you have may not be the original. Something to look into. I could be wrong. Best of luck with the build.
Hi from New Zealand. I remember when these came out...... such wonderful bikes. By the look of the tyres you don't have many corners in Missouri...... If you're not going to use the original pipes, how about a six-into-six option? Would really make it sing!
I think the rear tire died at the hands of a burnout lol. We have some amazing twisty roads and I take full advantage of them when I can. You will be pleased that this one is getting a 6/6
Subbed and Thumbs up! Everything Honda especially old CB's AND CBX is close to my heart! having a Honda CB600F Hornet (City daily driver) and a all original mint condition Honda RX650R with 300 miles on it :) Edit: Typos.
@@BrickHouseBuilds 3k miles around Europe and the lad didn’t have the money for a new tyre but it got him back lol. You are dead right too skinny tyres.
Your CBX will be awesome once you've finished with it. Of course, you wouldn't find any spare parts from Honda. If I remember correctly, I got a letter? or something in the 90s? from Honda Corp. that stated that they would not longer make stock parts for motorcycles older than 20 years {I had purchased a new 1985 CB650SC in 86 from a Honda MC dealership}. My understanding was up until that point, you could still get parts on any Honda motorcycle they had made regardless of the year manufactured. Well, of course that ended 20.. 30 years ago... . Good luck and enjoy the built. Hope you can get or make what you need to restore that beast. :-)
With hindsight, do you now wonder if that is 111k on the odometer and not 11k? It is mind blowing how badly that engine has been treated. Anyway, your positive attitude to save her and bring her back from years of abuse is excellent.
Nope the rest of the bike absolutely suggests 11k. The engine could have had a failure up top causing what you see and therefore the shoddy work. The rod and main bearings all look to be in fantastic shape and the crank mics out to factory so I do stand behind the 11k
These are great bikes.. looking forward to this.. when putting new shocks/struts on these type bikes,,, the newer type shocks with air,, does it matter if the air canister is put at the bottom or top???? Thanks
No worries. Originally when I made this video I had hoped to not have to disassemble the engine. Because of that I wanted to use a blasting method that wouldn't leave any potentially harmful grit like vapor honing and such as with the engine assembled I cant clean anything internally with confidence. Vapor honing is a great method but not reccomend for assembled engines where you may get that grit inside. Dry ice leaves no residue but takes a much more dedicated setup to do in volume
@@BrickHouseBuilds Great to hear, the air box was what I thought was wrong, the black paint didn’t help. I have a ‘79 also, I battle to maintain the bike though.
@@marcr660907 if you could do you have any specific airbox info I could learn up on as thats not the first time its been brought up and I haven't had a moment to seek out that info for differences.
Well, some things get so nice or too valuable to simply enjoy riding without stressing over everything and I feel this would be at that point. I won't be selling it IMMEDIATELY after its running as I do wish to enjoy it a bit
Please, please, please...update the front forks/suspension. A bike that size needs something beefier. Not even going for looks; just handling and sense.

Looks like a prolink engine and air box in a ‘79 frame? Have you checked the engine number for the year?
Its not a prolink engine its simply painted crappy black paint. Airbox is wrong but carb bodies and cases match my bike.
@@BrickHouseBuilds Great to hear, the air box was what I thought was wrong, the black paint didn’t help. I have a ‘79 also, I battle to maintain the bike though.
@@marcr660907 if you could do you have any specific airbox info I could learn up on as thats not the first time its been brought up and I haven't had a moment to seek out that info for differences.
I would have a very hard time selling after getting it back on the road.
Well, some things get so nice or too valuable to simply enjoy riding without stressing over everything and I feel this would be at that point. I won't be selling it IMMEDIATELY after its running as I do wish to enjoy it a bit
Great find, what did you pay?
Thats not info I'm sharing publicly for obvious reasons.
Subscribe because of this
Thank you and welcome!
May I ask how much you purchased the CBX for 🤔
Too much to be honest. I won't disclose that though as this will eventually be for sale after restoration.
100 and 11 thousand miles
High mileage owner
Awesome find and great you got the rights to 70's porno movie music with it?
Thank ya
Ok, is that bike huge or is it just perspective?
Its a large bike but that is mostly due to just how big the physical engine is. The perspectives get wonky since its not a normal looking bike
Please, please, please...update the front forks/suspension. A bike that size needs something beefier. Not even going for looks; just handling and sense.
I would agree in the bike needing that but it will be factory stock as it is a restoration.
yis
It's gonna be fun!
Either the motor has been painted or it’s off an 81-82.
I explained that it was painted
@@BrickHouseBuilds so sorry I missed that part I’ll be more careful jeez

While you know I'd love to this just isn't the right bike for that. Hang with me though and I PROMISE 😎 there will be the build you are wanting 😉
@@BrickHouseBuilds cam I ask for some decent brake at least, umm and USD form, or a lăsa convențional de a ninja 900 that camera with a 6piston calliper
It’s not your dream bike, obviously.
Right, obviously 🙄
I have looked into the future.... don't buy it!!! 😀
🤣🤣🤣 Definitely goes sideways quick!
Ridiculous bike engine.
Absolutely
this bike is problems by 6 xaxa you don t need them 2 cylinder is perfect 4 is to much 6 is a total disaster
Get outta here with that. Nobody needs a motorcycle in general. This is all for fun
Hey, you don't need 6 strings on a guitar. 4 is good enough. I have 4 CBX's and none are disasters.
