Roadfox is a Honda, but was not imported to the US. I like most of it, except the grips color and "Roadfox" fender stickers.

isnt that the gyro s?when i google it that is the pic that comes up. but it also shows the other gyro

That's what I thought but it says it was produced in 84 and was called the Honda road fox. Same exact thing as the gyro but made overseas I guess

here is a link to a guide i found. http://motorscooterguide.net/Honda/Gyro/Gyro.html

i also think that some of the pics used are of our forum members rides

Similar but not the same. Different front rim, fender, turn sigs, luggage racks, horn mount, stickers. Honda used more chrome on the Gyro S.

Reflector mounts are removed from the rear rack and forks, on the rear frame are some 'U' shaped bars (grab bar? tie downs?). There was a forward of the pegs foot rest (this may have been optional, as was the windscreen, front rack and mudflaps) This Honda ad gives a little better view of the details.

I know that the foot rest by the horn was optional. Do you know if the luggage rack above the headlight on the Gyro S was standard or optional?

It was an option, haven't seen many go by on eBay. I've never bought one, probably should have

I have one if you decide you want to replicate it.

Good snag I looked around for pics grabbed from an eBay auction. Could not find them. If you've got pics that would be great!

This over-the-headlight rack is much akin to having a pocket on your speedos.......

The main use I've found for it is a solid mount for a camera to get some fun corner shots. Using my regular camera instead of buying an expensive GoPro for my helmet.

When I watch bike-mounted footage, I get swimmy-headed........
Excellent utilization of the rack for camera mount. It would be a must have for a restoration/show bike
