I have a CX500 Custom and my husband has a CX500 Shadow ( I don't think this model was released in the US but similar to the De Luxe). Here is an excellent website with loads of info http://www.elsham.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/cx500/.
This is also an excellent forum based here in Australia (but we do talk to foreigners  ;D) http://groups.msn.com/AustralianHondaCX500CX650Register/messages.msnw
Good luck with your quest.

Hmmm I always liked the looks of the Cx's but then I like the AMC pacer as a child as well.    ;) ;D

OK not good "shape" but no rust or bashed in parts.
