The 1978 CX500 Standard had a large fuel tank, stepped seat, a round brake fluid reservoir and a plastic mini-fairing that was thought to look unusual at the time, and gave the bike the nickname "plastic maggot". Turn signals extend out through the mini fairing from the headlight's centerline. The CX500 Standard had silver Comstar wheels, 19 inch in front and 18 inch in the rear.
While V-twins were nothing new, as Moto Guzzi had been mounting them with the crankshaft inline with the frame with shaft drive for many years, this Honda was decidedly different. Not only was the 497 cc engine water-cooled, but it had four valves per cylinder that were operated by pushrods rather than the overhead cams favored by Honda on its previous four-stroke engine designs.
The styling was radical and upright forks and a short engine contributed to a stubby wheelbase on a bike that was rather tall. The CX500 was one of the first recipients of Honda's new Comstar wheels (and later, on B models, reverse Comstar and a square brake fluid reservoir), which measured 19 in (480 mm) in front and 16 in (410 mm) at the back.
The fuel tank tapered toward the front and a huge half-moon tail light jutted out from a short fairing behind the radically stepped seat. The end result was a mix of standard, sport, and cruiser features.
What? Yes. I can't help it for I have to rely on Google Translations when it comes to Japanese. So the following text is straight from the machine and here is the original source: http://blog.livedoor.jp/geek/archives/51369830.html, posted on November 13, 2012

Well, after a overwhelming response to my question, I found the manuals myself and converted it into nice PDF files. It's not the year of my Honda PC800, but perhaps there will be a magic pixie showing me the way to that manual. You can find the files in the library.
Ik kom zwaar ruimte te kort en het is tijd om een andere eigenaar te zoeken voor deze motorfiets. En zoals de advertentie al zegt, ik heb nu een motorfiets voor de langere afstanden.
