First thing to do this season was to paint the engine black. this is the most i have had the bike apart, i hope I remember how to put it back together. ugh, that's a bit too flat, looks ultra stealth though. put a few more coats of semi gloss black on, looks much better.

any thoughts on what to do for a tail light? I want to keep everything in a line to i'm thinking i should just move the light out from where it currently is, which is hidden under the seat. Far enough under there that it doesn't pass inspection. I spend time looking at LED replacement lights but...

I torn down the cover/foam on my seat and rebuilt it. it needs some tidying up in the back but it was made using the original cm400 seat pan. doesn't look half bad.

Sweet tires. I know where one of these bikes sit's in a shed. I'm following this project now too.

it's a clip chain, I got a 104 link chain i believe but only need 102 links, I removed 'em. I also used the marks on the swingarm to align the rear wheel. Easier than i thought it would be to change it over. though running to get a set of clip pliers helped immensely.

changed the chain before going on a week of vacation. Had a great time riding around NJ and PA back roads, before hoofing it back on 80 to NYC. Also managed to get the tank to fit with some coercion. I cut the front mounts down in half and secured it with a wire hanger. No room for a fuel filter...

Re: Hond-o-matic City ~ waiting on the shop Tomorrow, I'll start getting the bike together to get it inspected eventually. Got new sprockets and chain from DCC. Along with a small fuel filter for the different tank. To fit the tank all I have to do is chop the front bump mounts in half. Any...

how legit is this info about the 552 flasher and 262 flasher units? http://www.bugmanweb.com/gsxr/flasher.html

Re: Hond-o-matic City ~ waiting on the shop yup, I agree eugene. I'm going to start getting to work on that. in the mean time since the bike is two states away. I've been repainting the tank I want to put on it. Like my indoor cardboard paint booth?

Re: Hond-o-matic City ~ waiting on the shop So word from the shop is that it needs; rear turnsignals/tailight fixed, sprocket and chain, chain guard, leaky carb bowl, and the throttle re wired to pass inspection. so they aren't doing anything to it.

Re: Hond-o-matic City ~ Waiting on the shop thanks to cr8zy1van I got a fuel cap and cover for only $20 shipped. A great deal! I also got bored and ending up sanding the tank down as well as getting most of the rust from the inside of the tank. So now it's all set to be mounted on the...

i was hopin' i'd find something that was the shit.

I just ordered that face mask. I'm in nyc and I feel the grit in my lungs after crossing the queensboro bridge everyday, it's a steal at $7 unless it turns out to be made from paper. Good luck finaggleling the airboxes. The carbs shouldn't be hard to remove. Just disconnect the fuel and...
