I bought this as a ‘GL500’ yet the frame accepts my CX Custom side panels and a Deluxe seat yet has the Custom tank.
All sounds a bit mish mash but should work.
If the head ankle is raked i’ll try and get it on a jig and re-angled, USD forks is a must, the eld ones look so weak.
Also looking to do a Honda NTV 650 swing arm conversion so i can run a mono rear shock and better wheel choices. Long term plan like as it’ll probably be expensive.

Sure is, you simply flip it over and weld a new mono-shock bracket to the other-side and machine 2mm off the bevel box housing and it fitsCabernet wrote:Erm, is that bevel box not on't wrong side?rumpoldstilskin wrote: ↑24 Sep 2018, 22:40I clocked them expensive firestones- i’d rather pay for a taxi than ride on them haha.Stumoores wrote:I reckon the custom is raked out.

Re: Another impulse buy CX500
Does the CX bevel box bolt on the NTV swing arm and align then? I presume all the splines mate as well and one or other on the drive shafts mate? Have you bought these yet? What do they cost?rumpoldstilskin wrote: ↑20 Oct 2018, 10:51Sure is, you simply flip it over and weld a new mono-shock bracket to the other-side and machine 2mm off the bevel box housing and it fitsCabernet wrote:Erm, is that bevel box not on't wrong side?rumpoldstilskin wrote: ↑24 Sep 2018, 22:40

All fully aligned yeah bought the NTV swing arm for £40, cx shaft fits inside it as its slightly shorter but fits the bevel fine.Cabernet wrote:Does the CX bevel box bolt on the NTV swing arm and align then?

The only thing i need to do is machine (eld angle grinder will suffice) a bit off the dust lip and thats it.
Need to sort my garage out first though- its a right state inside.
There is one done before;
