the Black Knight, a 400four tale.

Re: Black Knight..Wired up and Charging

I bought the 4into1 kits for my 750’s carbs but yet to install them. I went with Randakk’s kit for my last 750 - not cheap by any means but highly rated. How long before your 4into1 kit crapped out?

The fact that the A/F mix screw threads were the wrong diameter (to small) disappointed me from the start.

Then every time I turned the fuel valve on ALL four would overflow for 10-15 seconds before float valves closed up. One wouldn't stop leaking a little.

The outside diameters (o-ring seats) were cut different than the stock brass. But the actual "jet" holes were all correct.

I just had enough and said screw it. Spent the money and Bought the right stuff, refitting all the factory brass properly. Alng w new Honda float valves.

I dont need the headache of 4 questionable carbs haunting me.

Re: Black Knight..omg I think its done.

I do not have the words to say how much I love that seat. Nope, just don’t. And the rest of The Black Knight looks absolutely killer.

Right. The Fck. On.

Re: Black Knight..omg I think its done.

So nice! Neat contrast between shiny chrome and burlap/fake rust. Love you safety gear too, but expected crocks for footgear. Wish my 750 was as quiet as the Supertrap makes yours. Sounds so smooooth!
 
Re: Black Knight..omg I think its done.

Well played sir well played!

Thanks so much guys. I wasn't really sure how it was gonna turn out. But, yeah Im pleased.

The Supertrapp produces an awesome note w this baby four. Much deeper and throatier than I was expecting. Best of all not loud at cruising speeds.
