A year on two wheels

I just realized I’ve owned this for over a year. I mean, there was a gap there where some dickass co-opted it for a few months but... I still have the title and I have the bike back so #stillcounts. This is the second longest I have owned a vehicle, the longest being the NB at about 2 years.

CX500 plans:

New wiring harness

Fix leaky water pump mechanical seal

Disassemble carbs and replace bowl gaskets

Rejet to 80/120

Ditch airbox for pod filters

Add some sort of gauge cluster. Or at the very least a speedometer and water temp gauge.
