Have you been to their site for MB5s? Heres a link, theres a couple reeds, hpi inner rotor, a stock peugeot intake to be used on the mb5,gears and a bunch of other little things theyre out of. No pipes, no real intakes, no real reed cages, no air filter adapters, no cylinders, nadda. The few things they do have can be found at many other places in EU.

Im just saying Ive owned 4 and heavily modified 3 of them in the past, and recently sold another heavily modified MT50, I know the market isnt there for them anymore nor is the aftermarket.

bought a handy lift years ago you will like it a lot
had more motorcycles than I can count on mine over the years
just grease and oil as per instructions
and make shure you have a water separator in the air feed line
and you will not have any problems

[quote="graphite9"]Cleaned up the intake window a bit. Even though its massive and probably doesn't need any work. Kit should he here Friday. Still need to find some reeds and spend a bit more time cleaning that window. So excited my handy lift shows up today. :)

I've been wanting to sell my gyro for a while now. I said if and when i sold it I sold I would get an mb5. Mad props for finding this. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous. :smile:

Greetings:

Wheelman's Dream Bike actually first hit the U.S. Market in 1979. The Gold Wing was still pretty new in 1976. No matter, that CBX is a treasure. At least until you need to synch the carbs...

Greetings;

Good brakes on a bike that can pass 130 MPH are nice to have. Unlike today's sportbikes, that thing is heavy - like 600 pounds - and the stock brakes weren't the CBX's best feature to begin with.
