Getting a Makeover

i broke the clutch cable on my bike last week, and the new one came in today, so in true tamor fashion, replacing the clutch cable meant disassembling the whole bike. on the list are recover the seat, repaint the tank, and clean the carbs. who knows what else will happen on the way.

pictures as follows:
how it started
getting the pattern for the seat
seat, tank and carbs removed
dual carbs in the parts washer

cx 500, good bike choice. Had one of those in college.
