Once i got the bike i find out that it wasn't orig paint as a matter of fact it was a terrible repaint two different colors of pearl.. So we drop in a new battery tires and fuel and much to my surprise it started up and ran ok for a bike that has been sitting for 15 years going off the tag on the bike.. It does have a front end shake @ around 60mph.. Thats right a dent in the front rim to boot!! I wish he was alittle closer to me so i could knock on his door or his face.. LOL! I hate BS on ebay. So if any of you guys can help me i'm in the market for a front rim aswell as a line on a decal kit for this bike. Thanks mitch P.S. Sorry to put up such a long first post.. 82 Honda cx500tc 79 Yamaha RD400f 70 Honda ct70 91 Honda NSR250 08 Ducati 1098s 10 BMW s1000rr 08 Ducati HM1100S 06 gsxr750 Trackbike 02 Ducati MH900e 760/2000 03 Harley ultra classic    Report

Was that the Ebay bike from Arizona, Texas or Bakersfield? Here is where you can buy the decals: http://bdesigns.ca/1982_CX500_NorthAm.htm Also there is a front wheel currently on Ebay (San Marcos, CA) Cheers, Martin    Report

File a claim... He purposely led you wrong... His bikes aren't original in prime condition like he states. My ebay messages have all the proof right in them.. They can look at it to see where I told him the bike was painted. I even sent him pictures of a properly painted fairing with black paint around the side vents Also... If you look at his feedback, others are complaining about the bikes they just received... PK    Report

This guy is a scam artist with a $50.00 Maco paint jobs on low mileage bikes that he has found somewhere... Even after he has been told that the bikes he representing as pristine are re-paints, he still sells them to unknowing buyers... Real nice.... PK    Report
