wow!

and it sounds so chunky.

me likey.

 

[Flugtechnik]

Very nice. I hope mine ends up that good looking. Is that the stock tank?

 

[whoisjake]

That is mad notes!! Love the look of the silver with orange rims...

Question:

What pods did you use? Did you re-jet?

looks like the stock tank to me. Great work on those knee dents!

 

[philos1]

Thanks all.

Tank is in fact stock with hammered dents.

I used K&N filters, I will need a few shakedown runs to figure out which jets to use (I bought the Sirius jet kit that has 6 different sizes). It fires and runs well with the stock 135s, but I'm pretty certain it's on the lean side - some road tests and plug readings will tell.

I should have some more time to actually get some runs in soon.


cheers.

 

[whoisjake]

What size of filters? Model number?

 

[Hancock]

I love all of it except for the orange bits. Sounds good too!

 

[philos1]

haha, the orange isn't for everyone. I'm all over it though.

filters came from 4filters.com in Riverside. This one I used R-1090, if you're using the stock battery box then get the angled ones - I think they're 1290? double check to be certain...

 

[whoisjake]

Thanks!

 

[NJWanker]

I like it . Even the orange . If anything to critique it's the Norton looking Honda logo . Change up the seat too.
Love the exhaust system .

 

[philos1]

wanker - did you notice that the seat is imitation ostrich? I always have a bit of cheese on my bikes... helps with not being too serious.

cheers ;D ;D ;D

ahhhhh, no way, dude the orange is AWESOME. Perfect accent color for that scheme.

Couldn't find the angled air filters.

Any luck taking pictures of the brake side rear set?

RC-1290 should be the part # for the angled ones.

I haven't had a chance to get a shot of the brake side. I'm also going to need to modify it some as it's not getting enough bite on the rear. It may be a bit.

Thanks for the link! And no rush at all. Once you get it hooked up, keep me updated!

Is that the jc whittney shorty 18" meagaphone muffler? if so how do you like it, because I was thinking about using it and was wanting some feedback.

 

[neophyteCB450]

angled filters 10degree!

[Deviant1]

Just had to throw in that I love this bike! I like the orange, I like the seat, and i even like the nortonish honda badges/stickers?

 

[philos1]

clutchkith - muffler is from MikesXS.com


I had a fun couple of short trips over the past couple of days. Still some small things to work through, but I'm having a REAL good time in the process.

I'll try and get some more pics soon.



cheers
