Cliff, I agree with Eric, hope your wife 8s doing better. The Hondaline fairing for the CBX is almost bike porn 8n it's fluid lines...
That is a gorgeous bike you have. But you have really pretty bikes, those you restore as well as acquisitions like this one. The CBXs are funny in their pricing, generally cannot find a nice one for under $10k these days. Then sometimes at auction they go for that and sometimes they are going for $15k. Nils Menton recently redid one with his friend, one of the last bikes they acquired before Nils shutdown RestoCycle, RIP.
(Wish I had bought some Ikons for the Cb500 before he did so, or a set for the '78 CX-500 (Std/Deluxe/or Shadow as they called them in the land down under).
The FVQ stock shocks, nicknamed the "Fades Very Quickly" are still on that bike and I don't know if the set I picked up for it 2nd hand which were inexpensive are going to be an improvement for the stock ones that were barely adequate for a little while when new...much less now when the bike is 43 years old... )
Anyway back in topic...
That very nicely put together bike that had been gone through by Nils and his buddy went for less than $11k if I recall correctly. It was a faired model but don't remember if it was the silver or white version.
The white looks nice with it's blue stripes and the silver is equal a attractive.
Take good care of your wife, as I am certain you are...hope she recovers soon.
You my friend know how to photograph things well, nerdy nice work choosing your background and with the composition of the photograph.
Too many people don't understand the importance of the camera lense placement when taking a photography and the difference a 2 or three foot height difference can make. My older sister and pretty sure my younger sister do not understand this and it shows in their photography, because they all are taken from their standing height and they do not understand composition of a photography to make to change an image from std boring someone pointing and shooting to taking a photo worthy of being in a magazine. It is not merely the equipment that differentiates those photos.
Anyway hang in there Cliff and best wishes and a prayer your wife recovers soon. Let us know how she's doing every now and then until she is better and post some photos of her with your new ride smiling and feeling better when that happens. Get her outside in the sunshine some, sunshine helps us all in more ways than one...
P.S. Eric, hope your wife and Terry have stopped that sorrid business of late...or if not that has rekindled a bit of fire for you and her...
