Pretty sure I found what it is... It's identical to this, except the previous owner put the original GW logo lid on the reservoir. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-CX500-CB7 ... 1642084605

It's a bit bent up, and I figured I'd take the opportunity to fit some matching chrome levers.

I ordered some new control levers for my 1982 GL1100, and when I went to install them, much to my chagrin, I found that the front master cylinder is apparently not original. I'm faced with either finding a correct master cylinder or finding a lever that fits the master cylinder that I have...

No thread. I just did a lot of reading on here and a few other places, and ended up winning an eBay auction for the 1200 single carb manifold and 34 PICT 3 carb for about 1/4 of what they sell for normally, then bought the 1200 intake elbows and put it all together. I did have to trim a tiny...

Thanks!

Good eye! Those are indeed 1200 intake elbows. The single carb manifold I picked up was originally designed for a 1200, so the downward curve at the ends mated to the 1200 elbows with a lot less work than using the 1100 elbows would've required.

Got her pretty much finished. I changed out the fork seals last night, and I'm replacing the rear air shocks tonight with Progressive 412's, but other than that and a few minor odds and ends, she's all done.

I ended up just buying another Candy Muse Red false tank, since there were some dents, rust and issues with the doors on the white one. The one modification is already made was a conversion to a single carb, mainly for ease of maintenance and simplicity. Other than that, I'll probably keep...

I actually did like the white, especially since it's a pearl white. The problem is that it was a home paint job, so it was flaking off in places, rusting and cracked in others. Plus, I scored a deal on a complete set of Vetter fairings and bags in Candy Muse Red for $200, so it made my...

A lot of the restoration work I'm doing, other than just going through everything, since it was sitting for a few years, is un-doing the PO modifications...including installing an original exhaust system to replace the one that they hacked apart and welded cherry bombs to... :roll: As I bought...

Fixed it! It turns out the the previous owner had switched the neutral switch connection and the temperature sensor connection. Until now, starting in neutral had never worked with the clutch out, but now it starts in neutral with the clutch out, and the temperature gauge and neutral light...

I did just confirm that disconnecting the neutral switch when the gauge starts climbing in neutral causes the temper gauge to fall back down to cool.

I've searched all over and can't find a similar issue, so I'm hoping someone here has heard of this before. I just replaced the 7 volt regulator to make my gauges work again, and I'm now having a weird electrical issue with my temperature gauge. When I turn on the key, without starting the...
