Yep - it has the politically correct speedo......Just curious, does the '82 CBX have an 85mph speedometer on it? IIRC, my '81 GS850 had one on it.

That looks ugly. Will spray carb cleaner clean that up, or does that call for a soaking in solvent?Yuck. That's a lot of work doing six. By the time you get to the last one, you could do it with your eyes closed.

I picked this CBX up on Dec 26th. It has not been started since 1992. I have all winter to get it running and road worthy.

Don't think very many if any bikes had breaker point ignition by 1982. I know my '81 Suzuki GS850 didn't. Most other stuff can probably be found on eBay or some place similar. May be able to get NOS (New Old Stock) stuff if you do a little searching for it.Where do you get things like points for these old bikes?
There are lots of outlets for CBX parts, both OEM and aftermarket. It was much more popular and iconic than the CX500, especially the turbo model.I hope all the parts are ok? because a friend of mine his dad has a CX500 turbo.
And those parts are a B.tch to find on the net!
Good luck anayway
