just my 2 cents (after inflation) i'd not touch one hair on your cbx's head. it's a thing of beauty and so many are being chopped up.

i'd kill severely maim for one like yours.  ;D

  Oh, don't you worry about this one, cause the only thing I'll change on it, besides filters, spark plugs and oil, will be the mileage! ;)

   





    I am kinda wishing I could afford to get one (especially a basket case) and built one with some mods. ::)

  Probably! :-\ I Like the look of the 6 into 1, but I'm told that it doesn't perform as well as the 6 into 2 does. ::) I always thought that IF I ever had a CBX, I would try to go for one of those 6 into 1s, but I NEVER thought I'd EVER be able to get a CBX, much less that exhaust! Now that I DO have a CBX, I plan to RIDE, not modify it! ;) Besides, the 6 into 2 DOES sound pretty Wicked! ;D

When will people learn that putting a Ducati tail section on a bike DOESN'T look good on most any bike EXCEPT the Ducati it belongs on...

The three wheeler is pretty cool though lol.

Keep your bike just the way it is Bill!

            Hey Guy.    I wish I could find the Gold Wing that had the exhaust run up under the tail, by it's dufuss owner! The CBX looks GOOD compared to that. I didn't necessarily mean that I was considering moding MY CBX, not by ANY means! :-\ It's just that, the CBX in that video, kinda gives me the wants, to build ONE, NOT Mine though. When I look at my CBX, I just can't imagine taking on in that state of good looks (AND being complete) and start modifying it. It'd be like taking a mint Deuce Coupe and stripping it down to customize it. I just couldn't do that. I COULD however, take a basket case OR gather parts and build one (car, bike or whatever). ;) Of course, THAT takes Money AND, depending on how far you want to go, Lots Of It! :o

          I thought the 3 wheeler was cool too, but I could NEVER afford a CBX engine to do THAT with though. However, I DO happen to have an old 79' CB750K, that someone had put a 3 wheeler rear axle setup on. ::) Same BASIC style engine. DOHC Four! Hmmm! Now, I wonder if it can be made to run? Uh oh, the wheels in my head, are turning. ::) And, when THAT happens, there's no telling how it will come out! ::)

        "Stay Tuned for another episode of,
                           As the Wheels Turn, The Mind Burns!"  ;D

         BTW, anyone know where there is one of those Big Reds (or something equivalent? ??? ;D ;)

Interesting how the video gets distorted when the CBX gets closer to the camera and the engine is revving.  I guess they were running non-resistor type spark plugs.

i wonder what a barely muffled 6 into 6 exhaust would sound like on your bike Bill. i'm thinking it would be music to my ears.

    I'm sure it WOULD Jeff. 8) Only that sure IS a lot of Mufflers though.
My buddy, who I got the CBX from, would like to build a CBX into a Replica of the one of the old Honda 6 cylinder Road Racers. There have BENN some done that way already. ;)
