Honda CX500 Parts (1978–1983) – OEM & Aftermarket Motorcycle Parts

Looking for high-quality Honda CX500 parts? Whether you ride an early 1978 CX500 or a later variant, this collection includes everything you need to restore, maintain, or customize one of Honda’s most unconventional and innovative motorcycles.

First introduced in 1978, the Honda CX500 broke away from traditional Honda design norms. At its core was a liquid-cooled transverse V-twin engine, paired with dual CV carburetors tuned for smoother operation and reduced emissions. The CX500 also featured an electric-start-only system, a low-maintenance shaft drive, and modular Com-Star wheels, making it one of the most advanced middleweight motorcycles of its era.

Another standout feature was the CX500’s separate electronic ignition system, designed independently from the rest of the electrical system. This allowed the motorcycle to be push-started and ridden even in the event of a complete electrical failure — a testament to Honda’s forward-thinking engineering. Durable, torquey, and engineered for longevity, the CX500 has earned a loyal following among riders, restorers, and custom builders alike.
