I would love to have that drive train mounted on La Cosa.

Hi melchiro, by "trunk extender" they are asking about what the trunk is actually mounted to, not the trunk itself.  1983 CX650 Turbo 1982 CX500 Custom Donating Member    Report

I picked one up and had seen another. Neat thing about this style is that the rear cowel stays in place. Couple GL's and CX650 ... everythings in work....    Report

It has almost every factory option offered by Honda. In case you don't know that has AM/FM/CB/Intercom/cassette deck/instrument guage package mounted in the fairing. You also have the "remote" next to the clutch to operate a lot of these items. To have it all factory is rare. If you need any help or advice, please ask. We will all be willing to help in anyway we can. David From Wisconsin ...

I am feeling good about the build.. ramprat06, the wheels on the GL, they are the stock 83 GL650I, cast aluminum.. The CBX carbs, I have not balanced them yet.. I bench synced them prior to install.
