Are the headers going to clean up?
Not sure yet. Gonna pull em off and start cleaning to see what happens.

Nah. The 400/four is the only one of Mr. Hondas kids that Brad wouldn't beat up on the playground.

Awesome bike Jenn. They're a blast to ride. If you're down with spending some coin they can be way quicker than a 400 four stroke should be too. Just do yourself a favor and upgrade the crappy 70s supension first. It hold the bike back from its true potential.
 
Hurray! Now the build can go forward in earnest. I was on vacation and just now checking in on DTT things, glad to see this update. Had a week at the beach and absolutely no internet, tv, computers etc. was nice, but back to the grind.

Got those hideous old hippy bars off and my sexy new ones on, though not finalized. I still need to drill the holes in them to route the wires through them, to keep a clean look.
I love the new positioning!
I'm a happy girl. :D
 
I am glad to see the update.

I remember having a conversation about this... It will hurt when you drop something on those cute little piggies. And Im not saying you need to run out and buy a pair of redwings...but, anything is better than flip flops.

Jenn,

Are you going to chuck those highway bars? If not I have a much cleaner set you can have. Also like Trek said, wear real shoes. I dropped a wrench on my bare foot one time, felt like it broke a bone, it didn't, but sure hurt like hell and bruised up real good.

The highway bars are as good as gone. :)

Take it easy, fellas. My feet are plenty covered when I'm working in the garage. But flip flops are sufficient when I pop into the shop long enough to cop a feel of my new bars. ;)

I work in slippers all the time. Weenies.

As do I...But even still slippers provide better protection than nail polish. Like I said...dont need Red Wings.
Would suck to leave a toe nail behind on the kick stand.
 
Bars need to be lower. Something like this...
