Honda Cb 500 X

After renting several contenders, I've just ordered a new cb500x...

Any recommendations for a competent aftermarket shop in Chaing Mai that can supply & install:

- engine & tank guard bars?

- radiator guard?

- side and top cases/racks

Anything else you would do (or check??) first up if you had it to do all over again?

Well change the exhaust.. try a slip on.. Find a good tank bag.... Just a suggestion it might be easier to have the shop do it..

Are you planning do it in the dirt?

Cheers..

On the pegs..

Kudos on the choice

Cant help with an aftermarket shop in Chaing Mai, but in regards to other mods .....

LOUD horn - Ali express / fleabay

Spotlights - Ali express ? fleabay

Center stand - June Moto and others on Facebook

Sprocket change, either front or rear - Honda Bigwing - see my previous post.

Good choice on bike thumbsup.gif What color scheme did you get?

Still green, so no plans to get all brown in the dirt just yet (Or blood red, I hope ;-)

CM roads are rough enough (hence the upgrade from PCX. I guess I'm not the first)

Thanks for the pointers. I'll likely go with the sprocket change.

Torn between black and white.

After way too much deliberation, went with white.

Same here after finding out that the Himalayan pearl White CB500F front guard fitted straight on to the X.

A very cheap mod that (IMO) makes the bike look a whole lot better.

Looks Good!

<Damn!...now I need a white helmet too>

Do you recommend a higher windshield?

The bikes were actually developed for Europe and it's new licencing laws. Thailand sales or Kawasaki aren't a factor in the design of the bike.

So you are saying that it's a coincidence that the faired CBR500R, the naked CBR500F and the "adventure" CB500X are representing the same style as the faired Ninja650R, the naked En6R and the "adventure" Versys?
Kawa it 3 different bike.

Honda its same bike;)

I guess next generation sell as set and you bild your vike just get another logo(cb,cbr or cbx)

:)

In my case a higher windscreen (Givi) fixed the buffering I experienced on the stock screen.

Assuming you have the 2016 model, the screen has been redesigned to address the buffering problems.

I have read that the 2016 screen is a vast improvement.

Try it on both high and low settings to get it where it suits you best.

You may also have to space it out at the bottom to get the optimal position.

Big Wing Pattaya are currently out of chains (but they have sprockets) for the 500. Any idea where I can source one? They say they have them on order. I know from experience this sometimes takes a long time.

Any shop that services bigger bikes should have one. Just give them the chain number - 520, 530 ... and the links number
