hey guys! this will be my second bike build.
The first was a 1989 Honda CBR 600 F1. Bike was a wreck when i got it. The kids that owned it before me couldnt figure out how to make it run and ended up selling it for $300, Perfect build for me. Cleanded the shit out of the carbs and boom the bike ran great. After a bunch of other shit she was done. Here's the before and after.
Heres how i first got it:
And here it is after a SHIT LOAD of work and minimal money.
Dyno video:
And heres the CB550F.
It ran perfectly before all of this and runs equally well now. I need to either add the intake plenum or jet for pod filters. "i really hate installing that plenum..."
