Hi, Really didn't do anything with the bottom end... We worked with Dynotune to come up with a good small shot to start off with, honestly don't remember what we put in initially now. We'll go bigger a little at a time from there. The nitrous is just for fun, so we'll play with it at the drag...

Update on the jetting... Went fatter across the board, pilot jet one full size and the main jets one full size. Helped a ton, idles perfect pulls strong throughout the power band. Can still feel the difference in temp though at the pipes. So more work needed before we can do a nitrous run on...

Wanted to post that we finally have the bike and the build up site complete! Members here have helped us with answers on the nitrous and the ignition, tank sealing and the airbrush work that made it all come together! We wanted to post it here on the dotheton first! The bike is a 80' DOHC CB...

We did just that... In a fish view we found it was the middle most plate. Little more searching and we found the explanation and why Honda added it. So in our case since we had 7 steel plates this double riveted one went in the center. Thanks for the help! Thickmc

Well I appreciate the link and the effort, but no joy for showing what I need to see. Page wouldn't load for us. We searched pretty hard before posting, kind of embarrassing that we couldn't keep track of what goes where! Thanks for trying! Thickmc

Ugh, somehow while trying to rebuild the clutch on our 80' CB750 k we managed to get the order of the clutch disks mixed up. We ordered new plates and disks, the plates were the wrong ones. In the process of waiting for replacements we got the riveted plate out of order -now we are not sure if...

Ribo You can view the final mockup of the bike here, we finished up the nitrous install today -just the paint work is left... http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=59704.0 Thanks for the input!

Just thought I'd update this... Have had and we still are struggling with this tank situation. We did the lacquer thinner step to dissolve the Kreem, still have some amount showing up even after several chemical steps. After the thinner, we then soaked the tank in Evapo rust, spend several...

Thanks Ribo! Had no idea it would be that easy. Really like your avatar, like to see a large image of the sidecar! :) Thickmc

Scratcher -thanks for replying. I've got to find a way for this forum to notify me when someone replies to one our posts... I hadn't checked on replies for a while, so I apologize for not getting back with your sooner... We are still looking for our artist -time is getting short, the bike is...

Many thanks for all the replies! After considering everyone's opinions and watching a few vids on using the caswell, we went with it. Primarily because it's an activated material. The tanks is a GS Suzuki tank even with our mods it holds well over 4 gallons, so we purchased two pint kits...

We've used muriatic acid to clean rust from metal before, it works very well if you can keep the material covered long enough to kill the rust, but when rinsing the tank to flush out the acid we have to use water. No matter how quickly we can dry the tank, it always has some rust forming before...

Huge Kreem tank sealer failure! A couple months ago we used Kreem to seal our tank. Heavliy modified and welded, we pressure tested to the point we had no leaks at about 10 pounds of air pressure. The tank was rust free, even though it was used before we started cutting on it, the tank was like...

Now that our bike project is nearing completion, it's time to find a airbrush artist who can fill our needs. Our bike is geared to promoting aftermarket products and needs to be "different", in order to stand out. Originally we'd planned on having Steve Nunez of stevenunez.com do our airbrush...

Looking for impute from readers on opinions on doing away with the left breather assembly completely. The breather line above the counter sprocket originally went to the air box. Since the air box is gone on our bike, we've done what many have done before us and added two little breather...
