Messing with my 1965 Honda 50 that I've owned since 1970! beast has been sitting since 1980 so much love required. To ride it in Toronto it will need more power so Big piston from S-65 and CB125 twin have been sourced. I can't use em both but the CB125 will have a more reasonable Compression...

I'm interested in doing the same mods to my 1965 C100 to make it more viable in Toronto traffic. I have Webco valve springs and retainers which help it rev but the S-65 piston I'd like to try. Did you manage to bore out the cylinder with no issues of too thin a liner afterwards or overheating?

Can you recommend best source of C100 parts please

Looking to do a similar set of mods to my 1965 C100 restoration. Is that Weber cam or cam specs available, When you bored out the C100 barrel to fit the 4mm bigger S-65, did you need to go with a bigger sleeve or could you just bore out original cylinder sleeve? Any overheating issues with...

Beautifully ambitious!! The 440 Kawasaki piston conversion is a really great upgrade, lots of work there. The picture of the CB350 monoshock is intriguing. looks like you are building your own backbone and subframe, is this the case?

What are the dimensions of your 2-1 exhaust. I've developed one for the CB350 but I'm still working on tuning the midrange using Mikuni VM30 carbs. What jets are you using as your pipe seems to take throttle well I'm using a 2-1 system with 22" x1.5" headers leading into a merge collector that...

Absolutely beautiful work, can't wait to see the results of the dyno run. That exhaust looks really good, reminds me of the Yoshima with the equal length, smooth gradual bends. What a nice bike, your attention to the smallest detail is amazing.

With the CB500 you have to be careful as the top crankcase is designed to fit the sleeve size of the 500. That is why you can't simply put the barrel from a CB550 onto a CB500, the sleeves are too big. There were aftermarket kits made for the CB500 that took them to 572cc, 591cc and 600cc but...

Gonna miss Barber and you Dotheton lot once again. Lots of Canucks heading down from Toronto way; Drewski Bros, Breslin, Canellos, Haggerty, Fischer, the Admin & family. Should be a real blast! My best wishes for a great time goes out to all the Dotheton crowd, hope to see youse next year!

Really nice work! Do you have any plans to offer a "kit" much like Bimota did.

Need to post a video of it running, gotta hear this beast!

Kevin, no mods to the engine other than pods. The engine had 25,000kms on it when I bought the donor bike. Head was off it so I did a home valve job and put it back together. That's exactly how it was when we developed the pipe and then dynoed the beast.

Where is the oil tank??

Yes, the same. I've been busy since with more quite a few more pipes but not on website yet (CB750/900/1100, Kawasaki Z1/KZ900/1000/1100 etc). I can send you a dyno run pic/audio of my 650, really screams!

This build is killer! I've got to spend more time on Dotheton, great projects!! Get the Fox shocks, bend up a mid pipe and get that beast on the dyno. Like to see what your muffler flows like and sounds like of course. Really interested in how it handles with the Fox shocks.
