Yeah, nice work.
Having several CX500's, though, the #1 thing that going 'cafe' needs, is a higher final gear. I love my CX500D, it has gone forever with very little attention, just lots of fuel, occasional oil and tire changes, the only 'thing' that really wears out... is the speedometer...
But mine is548lbs. Pare it down to half that, and the venerable 4-valve twin's biggest weakness, is that the gear ratios are just too low for the engine and bike combo. Second is (and if you've ever ridden a CX500T, you'll understand)... the engine has lots of additional potential... with just a few pounds of boost...
