The Honda is beautiful ... who made the pipes for it , or are those stock just re-worked ??. Man that is one nice bike :eek:
 
Those bikes are so beautiful.. It brings a tear to my eyes!!..
 
Thanks guys!
Hey Leon, I almost thought that your site was down and out for good until you made a post on the SOHC4-site referring to your seatbuild.
Glad to see it´s not!

About the exhausts, yes they are reworked stock HM341-pipes.
I just cut them off and removed ca 5 inches (the flat part on the lower pipes) of them.
Made some perforated glasspack baffles and welded them up again.

You can find info on the pipework here:

I used to run a chrome 4-2 system before, but it was way too restrictive and really stifled the top end....

They looked like this and will still be used every other year to pass the MoT as the 4-4´s are a bit too loud....:

Hey PT55, good to see you over here. Seems to be a few SOHC4-people that also have found their way to these parts of the woods.
Just noticed that a certain Dusterdude is the latest registered member, the SOHC-crowd is growing... 8).

birtJoe and thebronze:
great to see a couple of fellow fighters on the site!
Feels soooo good to be flapping behind the bars at 240 kmph, doesn´t it 8)
Really gives the old neck a good workout, haha :)

Cheers

I seriously need to find out where DME lives so I can steal that Honda. One of the nicest ones out there, to be sure.

For those interested, DME's got a lot of info on this bike over at our friends www.SOHC4.us/forums - all Honda SOHC 4 riders and enthusiasts.

Its funny how just the right touches on a bike make it stunning. No offense to DME, but really, there isn't anything different his 750 from many others, aside from the amazing execution. Gorgeous stretched tank (its two 750 tanks welded together - the rider end of the tank is open underneath), clean finish, nothing garish, black/chrome... everything just works.
