IIRC, the petrol tank was under the saddle. "Tank" was a glove compartment. Was a heavy bike - I often wished it had a reverse gear. One time we broke down in the Free State, near Bethlehem. Turned out it was the battery - bike couldn't run without it. And the battery was very hard to find. Ended up hitch-hiking back to Durban, and going back with a car and trailer to pick it up. But we had some good times on that bike...

Ageed, the CX500 was great and advanced for it's time.However , why are some of the bikes pictured 4 cylinder bikes and the black one 6 cylinder ?

Looks like a handle off a pull chain?

Its a Rope locket and not sex toy. Normally leather is tied around the handle to save the pullers hands.

 

If your dragging a heavy sled the rope goes between the arm and the chin, eye it and out between the other chin and arm. Sorry to spoil your fun, but then again it doesn't happen everyday that I actually know something :blush:
