As far as I know its original yes. I do have to refit the center stand.....just had that powder coated too.


Ahhhh.....just thought, if you want to be picky.....the rear mudguard is not as long as original. Been cut a tad shorter to aid wheel change,

It's quite a coincidence that the last motorbike I owned was a Suzuki Katana, which is the sword that a Ninja used - which incidently once withdrawn could not be put back without it having drawn blood....

I don't have a photo of the actual one I had, but for the uninitiated it looked exactly like this:



A lovely bike but it killed your back - I was was a youngster then!

As a young London courier back in the Eighties, the Katana was what I wanted more than anything else...

The cx500 was a great bike. ... That why most couriers had them.
The cx650 euro sport was ok to. ... But preferred the 500

You are right there...
It didn't matter how little maintainence you gave the poor thing, or how battered it got from chasing rapidly closing gaps, it just slogged on and on...

And when it started looking too grotty, a coat of Olive Green drab hid a multitude of sins.
