Howdy, new member here and starting my 1st project. Glad I found this site, tons of good info/ideas and I'm sure I will be spending a decent amount of time here.
Anyway, I picked up a 1975 honda CB500T, have begun stripping it down and have a few questions. Sorry if this is posted in the wrong section, mods please move it if so.
First off, I'd like to ditch the prechamber on the header pipes. What effect would this have? I'm thinking of cutting/grinding down the mounts and plugging/welding the holes & then wrapping the pipes with tape.
Also, I would like to replace the air cleaners with some foam pods, however I am a little confused on the whole "blow by gas circulation system" that the 500t uses (gas from cylinder head is channeled into a breather box that then is mixed in with the fresh air from the air cleaners before going back into the carbs).
That's it......for now at least.
Oh yeah, pics to come......when I have something worth sharing
