kustom research CX500

This guy Thomas from kustom research has done a really good job with this liquid cooled V-twin powered Honda. He streeped almost everything from the motorcycle except for the tank.
He chopped the rear subframe and made a new loop to support the hand fabricated steel tail and seat pan, before adding foam and upholstering it. The messy wiring loom was binned and replaced with a modified version hiding under the seat alongside a custom battery box. The indicators are machined aluminium with the fronts incorporated into the modified Harley headlight unit. The Koso digi-dash lives on a custom bracket surrounded by a mix of more modern Kawasaki ZX10 levers and switchgear, mounted to in-house-fabricated clipons and billet bar ends.


The forks have been upgraded with Progressive Suspension springs and the rear shocks are new Emgo units. Avon Roadriders look crisp on the freshly refurbed 5 spoke mags. Front braking has been beefed up by using a ZX10R master cylinder and a new calliper.

The exhaust was fabricated in house, like all other work, nothing went out. Great job Mr.Thomas. kustom research web page
