I just did an edit mate. The HMX isnt actually mine. It belongs to a good mate of mine. He has owned it since he was 4 and it was dumped in his parents shed so I asked if I could restore it for him. He still has the receipt from when his dad bought it for him and the warranty card. Came with a 1 year warranty. I love the old things! I cant wait until its rideable so I can cruise down the road on it

1982 Healing HMX 500

1982 Healing HMX 500

This model was the first 20inch BMX I ever rode, although Ive never owned one. I am currently restoring the blue bike shown for a good mate of mine. It was originally yellow. This bike was purchased from Pegasus Cycles, Tuam Street, Christchurch. Full steel frame, 3 piece crank, chrome steel 36 spoke rims, coaster brake on rear. I will post more photos of bike when finished.

Mate, i used to spend half an hour in that shop , looking at the bikes , then straight to Wizards to play spacies.........fish and chips at the dog house then the 11.10 pm bus back home.........I think I wore Nomads.........hmmmmmmmmm.

haha mate that brings back memories! I remember wizards and the dog house but I dont remember the bike shop. I didnt live in the city as a kid so I think I only ever went to wizards once or twice. As for the nomads, I had to wear them to school. It was great being an 80's child

The bike is back to bare metal. We will have it painted shortly and re-built.
I have just bought an HMX of my own off trademe for $200. I will submit it once I get it and take some photos of it

my mate jason cant find the original pads for his hmx. he knows they are at his parents house somewhere but he cant find them. truely devastating

new paint thanks to Powdertech in Christchurch! An exact match! Im stoked.

Hi TJ whats the shade of yellow thats the closest match to the original yellow that Powdertech in Christchurch done for you, I'm looking at getting my frame done here in Rotorua. I have no original colour to match.

Anyone know what an HMX 405 is ?

Hi ya's ...I am interested to date the years of Healing bikes ...did the 500 come before the Supermax that they made ? I think they also made the NZ release of the MXIII
What model was built first ..or were they all built /sold in the same year ?

HMX-500 was the cheapie with steel wheels
HMX-600 cost more came with Skyway Tuffs.
Supermax was top of the line with all alloy parts..

all models came out at same time.

Chrome ones were speacil for HMX  but the supermax2 did come from shops in chrome.
HMX-500 in chrome has black decals, same with the HMX-600 in chrome,,Most chrome supermax 2's had blue alloy parts..never seen or heard of a chrome supermax 1 or Mk1 HMX..they were all mk2's

Now Healing Redlines...Joke at the time was it was a Supermax with redline gusetts chromed..Now they also did what we called ozzie redlines..They had no Redline stamp underneath but had MX3 stickers..

I was selling Mk2 HMX's in 1980....from memeroy....But probley sold more mini-max's and pantha cubs from the shop I was working in

Actually its still not completely finished. Everything is there but me and my mate Jas just need to get together and put a little more time into it. It still gets admired all the time and has been hung up in a safe place;)

just wondering where you may be able to get the stickers for a hmx 500 that i am restoring? also need the frame guards
