    Being a big fan of spoked wheels, all i can say is nice work mating the GS parts with the aftermarket rims.
    I have a Sun 3.5" x18" on the '79 CBX and a 150 BT45 tire works well.

        Are your rims polished? I'm thinking it would look better than the anodized finish now.... Just not into trying to get the anodize off.

            Mine a light gold anodized although they look grey in the pic.
            I agree the polished would look great.

                I love the way your CBX looks with the 6 into 6 setup. I remember when they were available years ago, I almost got a set for my CBX....but I was too cheap and already had a stainless Supertrap setup... What are those front calipers off of?
                Also...how do you get your pictures to come out so big.....I can not get pics big, like I did when I first started to post?

                    The PipeMasters 6-6 are still available but i think they are now $2200.00. That is nuts.
                    I got lucky on this used set for a grand. They do nothing for performance but they look great and sound amazing.

                    The front calipers are Pro-Link and the rotors are CBR F3 i think. Fuzzy memory. Lots of experimenting with spacers and brake pads.

                    Not sure about photo sizing. Mine are on Photobucket and when i transfer them over here they are automatically sized to these dimensions.

                        I just won a battle for a 78 gas tank..... One of my biggest concerns for this bike, as I did not want to use ANY other year or model tank.
                        I was getting to the point of seriously considering buying an entire bike to get a tank.....
                        Also soda blasted my engine, and pulled the bottom cover off to check out internals a bit. The thing is SPOTLESS inside....it's been a very good day

                                    Well... the key word was considered.
                                    Luckily for me, someone else stripped apart a seemingly perfectly good bike, because they could get more money out of it that way...something I have never done.
                                    There are those who see a bike needing some work, and see only $$$ in the parts
                                    There are those who see a bike needing some work, and see more in it than the value of it's parts......Give it a new life, the bike then adding smiles to those who ride it again.
                                    As long as those two opinions work together, everyone smiles in the end....

                                    I see skunk tanks regularly also...but they are still being used on the bike.
                                    Or full of holes like mine.

                                        Donate that one with holes to me. I will GLADLY recondition it. To me throwing one out is like not eating the last bite of a great cheesecake..WRONG!!!!!

                                            Not thrown out, but hung up on the wall.....might be more incentive to save it in 15/20 more years....
                                            Kinda looks cool as moto/art right now.
