I have a mish mash of 79CX500 and 81 GL500I parts....I know some of you have inquired about some parts and I apologize if I have not got back to you yet, but as you may see from the pics I have some organizing to do, and I honestly don't know exactly all that is there yet....other than the things I know I have seen. If you have inquired bear with me, I'm workin on it   To the ones that inquired about the rear cowl, I had a bit of an issue with my son looking for something and deciding that they would be a good place to step on.....so I no longer am able to sell them, unless you don't mind a crack in it.....little bugger to young to realize that they aren't that easy to find.

This is a quote from the "parts interchange list" in the general discussion forum: The Custom models have a smaller cruiser-style fuel tank, which is secured by bolts in the front, while the tank for the A model and Deluxe sit on rubber bushings on steel posts welded to either side of the frame. I’ve been informed that you can adapt a Deluxe tank to a Custom by inserting short bolts or studs into the frame holes and putting the rubber bushings over them. Presumably you can fit a Custom tank to a Deluxe by cutting off the posts and drilling the frame. So it is possible, just depends if you would like to do it or not....let me know.

It will fit but it will be two inches short and probably not look the best unless you customize the seat. This is a bad picture of a rat bike I was building. It was a cx d with a cx c tank on it.
