I too have owned a few CX's. The first was a 'B' model shadow in the mid '90s, and several in the last ten years. I still have an old (and passed) mates last CX, an '81 Shadow with a cyclestyle Shadow fairing, for which I have also own the mold. I also have an '81 GL 500 Silverwing Interstate, which is a sort of full dress CX custom with a different tank, seat, and sidecovers, built on an EC frame. It has done just 2450 miles from new.
Edit: I am a member of a couple of CX forums, where my ST is usually referred to as the 'Double 650'. The parentage is obvious, after all.
