Re: 1979 cbx
i guess it was a manufacturing limitation.
from: http://www.cbxclub.com/davespage/cbx-7.html
The camshafts are in the normal places. The two exhaust cams, like the two inlets, are joined together by an Oldham coupling. The longer the camshaft the more difficult it is to keep it true during the grinding and heat-treating procedures. The CBX's cams, were they onepiece, would be very long-thus the Oldhams.

CBX's are straight pimp. I thought about buying one but I would have to shoot myself if I dropped it, or wrecked it. The same thought applies to a first gen Goldwing.
