Wanted: CBX1000 crash bars

[cs363]

As the title says, looking for a set of CBX1000 engine crash bars in good and/or new condition.
Please PM me if you have a set or know of some - thanks.

I thought they had built-in crash bars? Isn't that what cylinder 1 and 6 are for?

I found some new in Aussie - pricey but a lot cheaper that engine bits!

You may get them cheap in the USA.

I also found you a 6-1 pipe

You obviously haven't priced cylinders for this model.......

Cool - thanks Allan. The bars they list are for the '82 Pro Link model, so not sure if fitment is the same for the earlier twin shock bike, but I fired off an email to them and see what they come back with.

What was the 6-1 pipe? I've only found the DG/Hardkrome ones so far and apparently they look good but don't work too well... (which is what that pic looks like)

[AllanB]

Yep - thats a DG unit. There is also a 6-2 full MAc system listed - pretty cheap. In US dollars.

Don't drop it... OR MAKE (or have them made) YOURSELF

[MVnut]

Stay with the stock pipes tho mate, ffs don't go 6-1 or 6-6, they all look like sh*t

Don't drop it... OR MAKE (or have them made) YOURSELF

rest assured...I intend to do neither!

yeah I tend to agree from what I've seen so far, I wanted to take the original pipes off and rust seal/store them as they are mint and a new set is big $$$ so I might look at getting a pattern set of OEM ones just for using on the bike..though I'm still in two minds on that too..lol

Hmmm CBX pipes - buy a welder and a bucket load of exhaust bends and start playing

[AllanB]

More lovely pipes

the inline 6 and the V - 8 are insufficiently utilised engine layouts, IMO.

[cs363]

Well, thanks for the input guys - especially AllanB much appreciated.

I got lucky and scored the attached system, brand new still in the original box Kerker 6 into 2 system, so a bit more noise without being rowdy, nice balanced semi-stock look and real 'period' pieces! Not too bad a deal either at $1450 shipped from a private guy in the US.

On doing some more investigation for anyone that is interested, the DG 6-1 is not very nicely made and takes quite a bit of tuning to get rid of mid-range flat spots.
The MAC system is really nasty (as is most of their product) and is really a last resort. Jama & Laser (which I think may be the same companies now) make a very good OEM copy that sells for about US$900.
Beats the hell out of the crazy prices that stock Honda systems go for on Ebay (new systems have reached US$4000 plus, while good used ones often reach half that with ease )

Just have to wait for it to turn up, then its off with mint stock pipes and they can go into storage.
Also, found a guy making replicas of the original Hondaline crash bars, so they are coming too, pic also attached.

that orange one with the Spondon frame gives me the horn something wicked.

Who saw the CBX sole on tardme for $8555 a week or so back. BARGAIN!
