The Thermostat is the same as the Honda Civic, I forget which year. Google will know.
Anyway, it'll be much simpler to find that now you know.

Hey did you end up getting at CX anyway! Congrats! They are awesome old bikes and will serve you faithfully.

There's a thread on here for CX500 owners, here it is. they are very helpful. Read through the thread, there are also some very useful links to other forums and websites dedicated to CX500's.
This one is awsome... http://www.elsham.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/cx500/ it has step-by-step instructions and photos for fixing and disassembling bits and heaps of tips. It's like having an online manual.

If would give you the basic info. They changed to auto cam chain tensioners and different ignition system with a slightly different wiring loom setup, wheels, and other bits nbobs from '81 onwards.

Also contact Manawatu M/Cs. That's where I got my centre stand from.
