78 & 82 CX500 Carbs for sale
Reply Quote
OK guys, I have 2 sets of carbs already done and ready to go. Fully rebuilt, new parts, polished, balanced and road tested.
I'm sure most of you know my reputation with these and what they look like when they are done.
I don't usually get much response when I post them for sale here but I'm going to give it one more shot.
Both sets run exceptional and start on the button in a split second. Each set will go for $250.00 + shipping. Usually $10.00 in the US. International shipping varies as you know. When they go in the bay they will be set at a higher price from now on. So take advantage of this if you need them. I would also really like your old carbs as a trade in.

Email me at lrcargill AT comcast.net if you want them. Otherwise they get thrown in the bay next week.
1978 set will fit anything up to 80 if you don't have the vacuum operated petcock.
81-82 CX500 set has the vacuum port to operate the petcock but can be fitted on ANY of the CX's. It also has the accelerator pump.

Thanks Don. I was in a hurry to go clean the garage and strip paint off your tank.

I could almost swear those are my 81s sitting on my bike right now hehe. Damn fine work he does, if only my bike would just work properly to appreciate them. Hope someone gets those carbs on this site, it is definitely worth it.

What do you give for trade in core credit Larry?

Might make some members easier to justify the purchase.

Depending on the condition of them, for the members here I will give $35.00 off if they are in rebuildable shape.
They won't be here much longer though. As soon as I get the time they are getting thrown in the bay.

Very, very nice work Larry.  And from all the satisfied comments from your customers, just as nice inside.  But we know that already!

The 82 set is sold and the 78 set is pending being sold in a couple days.

If anyone that was sitting on the fence wanted a set, I have a couple 78 sets to rebuild still as well as a set for a GL500. But they are not done yet.

Thanks for the compliments and the interest.

Larry
