Anyone got any pictures of the process to help us newbees!

Hey guys is there anyway I can shorten my stock cables on my 450 so that they will function correctly wil clip-ons? The OEM length with clip ons just doesn't look or function good.

I made some new cables for my project from 8 gauge wire that I picked up at yhe local auto store. Also used 8 ga. ring connectors and heat shrink tubing. Worked out very well. :)

hey nice job. How are the pod filters working out? can't get my cm to run right with them. Any ideas of you jet size etc.Thanks.

I am building the bike out of a CM450E engine and fwd part of frame. Any ideas on the ignition?

Good day All Anyone got any ideas how to hide or eliminate the mess of OEM wires and connections that fit inside the Honda headlight buckets? I am going to be using an aftermarket small 4 1/2" headlight and there doesn't seem to be room for the stock connections. I would like to retain my stock...
