  • This is the third video on shortening the cables for the CX500. The throttle cables are finished, but the clutch cable had fraying on the transmission side.

    In the past 2 days, I have watched all of the videos in this series. And yesterday I got a 79 cx500. Has a GL front and rear end. These videos will be very useful throughout the build

    Such a helpful series. I'm building a 1980 CX500 Custom soon, and it's going to really help me out.

    I decided to replace the hand controls on a 68 BSA (rusty) I ordered new ones that did not receive the adjuster ( stock cable had adjust built into end of cable.) after ordering 2 different cables. I am at this stage. modify and make my own.. thanks for sharing.

    Just curious but the clutch cable at the clutch end goes through a cable "locator"? I would have put the adjusting nuts on opposite sides of that piece and pinched it with the nuts or am I seeing it wrong?

      I see what you mean, and I don't see why a third nut could be installed on the bottom of the bracket. On the two CX500s I have owned, two nuts are stacked and tightened on the top of the bracket. The two nuts tightened against each other keeps the adjustment true. The downward force from the clutch arm seems to be plenty to keep the cable in place.

    it really f***s with my ocd that you haven't changed the speedometer unit yet ;) ruins the flow of the bike.
    thank you for showing how much work it goes into a complete rebuild of a cx500, i had a naive notion of doing it myself but now i think ill pass :)
