Here's my 1981 Honda CX500, bought in 1996 and turned to rat style in 1997.
From year to year it changed, also from rat to shiny to rat and to shiny again...

I still own the CX, but the current condition is not Rat at all.
For your site I chose pictures from 1998, 1999 and 2008.
A lot of technical modifications were made, for instance an 650cc engine swap and a widened swingarm for a 170/80/16 rear tire.
