I have a basket case cl350. The brass nipple was missing from the petcock. Since i work at a machine shop i found some spare brass stock and made a press in fitting. If you cant get a machine shop to make one affordably for you than a "parts carb" may be your best bet.
So i was given this 80 gs750 16v. Its quick but as you can see in the picture the sub frame is butchered. I guess he hard tailed it then decided that he didn't like that and then squeezed shocks back in.
I thought about keeping it bobbered since that is the simplest solution. But this bike is...
i just replaced the stock 26mm cv carb with a mikuni 28mm round slide. i plan on porting the head and replacing the stock exhaust with little larger ss pipes. the stock pipes are .9" id double wall. and what im replacing it with are1.1" id stainlless. im crossed between going 2into1 or seperate...
I have it cleaned up since, and replaced the tail light and it looks a little better. hopefully the in the future i will be able to pick up an older cb500 tank and redo the whole tail section with a tracker loop style flat seat with a removable speed hump. I am also collecting parts for a good...
So! i replaced the carburetor with a 28mm mikuni round slide that i got on ebay for $26. it still needs rejetting- but DEAR LORD, it helps! i haven't benchmarked anything but top speed, but the butt dyno says its better.
It doesn't seem to effect top-end performance much at all, but that is a good idea and I will probably do that. I looked around town and couldn't find a good solution and somebody suggested panyhose , so I tried this out and iit works good. Its just not the most effective filtering solution.
Cleaned up OK. Waiting on the new tail lamp to come in.
I weighed it on the shipping scale at work. 294 with a full tank of gas.
Also. About the exhaust chopping. I found out when I was cleaning up cable routing and de-accessorising that the throttle cable was pulling the choke cable out of...
I like what you did. I have a 91 cb250 and I'm looking at a very similar tank and seat set up. Im trying to figure out if I can do a seat like that but longer for 2. I'm really contemplating an interchangeable setup between a solo and 1+1.
I'm replacing the stock, double wall, chrome plated, heavy ass exhaust on my nighthawk with a custom (home made) ss 1.25" system and Vw 1.5" chrome flared tips.
The id of the the stock piping is .900" and the id of the ss piping is 1.100". That is actually 50% larger than stock. With all this...

I think this bike has more potential than people tend to think. After a few inexpensive modifications, its much more fun than stock. Since no one does much with these I'm kind of mapping uncharted territory. I hope I can make it look good.
I just got my hands on some 1.25" ss tubing that shall...
Some of the custom stuff im trying my hand at.
