bike is running well....nevertheless i have to say it is better with the stock airbox...cant really outengineer the HONDA fellas. It runs just fine except slight loss of power at higher altitudes. Need to rejet the carbs though with larger main jets and alll..

Hi XB33bsa. Definitely dont wanna kill myself due to the lack of knowledge. Thats the reason i shout out for advise in this forum.
appreciate your comments and look forward to learn more from your experience and knowledge.
These are the numbers i managed to get before i installed the shocks...
i actually dont have much knowledge on the shocks and parts are really hard to come by in Malaysia (where i live). So managed to get the R6 shocks so i tried it on. In addition, bit difficult to find info and mods on CBX750 F models.
Any advice would be appreciated
wanted to seek some advise from the gurus here on the monoshock.
I'm using fairly new R6 rear shock. I understand that this shock was originally mounted more horizontal compared to how I'm using it with the cbx 750 linkages.
I feel that it is too soft and wonder if it's because the way it is...
Well..This is where it stands now....still have a bit to do before I can test it out on the road.
since I can't really start the engine as I'm in an apartment, will need to try it when I get it down to the car park. I guess the carbs will definitely need to attention with the pod filters...
Got the seat back from upholstery and pretty good for a 50 bucks job.
I'm happy with it albeit it's a bit squarish but that's due to my novice metal working skills.
I thought I rushed this thread and get all the pics uploaded since I'm stuck in a bus heading back from a co retreat.
Got the forks back and now it's gold...
Realised that the old seat pan from my suzuki gs550 just couldn't cut it. Decided to make a new one.
Decided to anodized the front forks together with the extender gold as well. I know some might dislike this but I thought just wanna add a dash of color.
Some pics with the freshly painted tank and fenders. And the extender came back as well.
Changed the fork seals as it was leaking. Quite a tough one to do solo.
Fitted the rear fender and added a spring to pull it up.
Also realized the coned pod filters can't fit for the middle 2 carbs.
Bought some pancake filters and it fitted nicely. Rejet the carbs after cleaning them with dyno stage 3. I have no idea if this will work but it worked for my suzuki gs550..so I hope it will work
Will also try to see if I...
Mocking up the front end, I realized the R1 forks are way too short. Needed to extend that at least by 50mm. Read from some forums it can be done using machined slip ons. Thought I give it a try.
While waiting for the machine slip ons extenders, powder coat swing arm is back and I started on...
Managed to get a nighthawk tank on ebay with the cap and the petcock for and good price but the shipping is definitely busting my budget. Bit the bullet and got it anyway.
The front end took a bit of time as needed to machine as new stem for the R1 triples as I need 35mm more length to fit the...
Found out that the front forks are totally gone. Stanchion is crooked and the anti dive mechanism is not working.
With a few weeks of sourcing, I got lucky and scored an entire yamaha yzf r1 front end for a good price.
The guy basically let me take parts from the wrecked bike for a single...
