So I've got a couple of things I need identified and explained if you guys don't mind.  Under the gas tank I noticed a small wire housed in a cloth sheathing that would run from the bottom of the right side of the radiator to under the seat.  And right below the gas tank are two black cylinders.  One has cracked casing...would this matter?  Here are the pictures...: -1979 CX500 Custom - "Doc"    Report

Use photobucket and post some images that can be seen, imageshack is always timing out and uses HTML code that doesn't work well outside of web pages.  I've got a 30inch monitor and can't make heads or tails out of the images posted.

The cut wire could be for the coolant temp sensor - if memory serves, I believe that's the sheathed wire running from the thermostat housing to the wiring loom. And from the pictures, it looks like you have a cracked ignition coil housing.    Report

Will check the bike tomorrow (my '78 should be the same), if it's not the temp sender as stated above, or no one else ID's it I'll post if I can find it. As for the large monitor...better than glasses once you reach a certain age.... Please reply if you don't get this message. 01/20/13    Report

The black cylinder looks like my ignition coil on my 79 cx, except it doesn't have the plug wire coming out of it to the spark plug? My original was cracked exactly like yours, I wonder what makes them do that? 1979 cx500D/1980 CX500C engine    Report
