Killer_kaw Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Thanks for the comments fellas. Took a few blasts down the road today and everything feels good. May need a little more fine tuning. I had the carbs apart twice adjusting needles but may have to do again. Bike runs amazing, stronger than my 1100 but I got a good bit of exhaust pop on deceleration I'd like to tune out.

Popular Post durk Posted May 28, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Ok I think I got the photo thing now. Here is what I started with. This is what I wrapped up yesterday. I'm waiting for turn signals to arrive and I need to pick up some grips. After that it will be ready to sell. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike was basically stock motor when I got it. It did have some aftermarket clip-ons which I left on. I had the stock taillight and turn signals laying around from a previous bike I purchased that I used. The plastic and mirrors are straight from China off EBay.

cptchaos Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Chain is clean! Motorex chain cleaner X2 and then Dupont chain saver lube. I thought the chain was all black when I started from the dirt buildup and grime ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cptchaos Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Took a trip to the title office and bmv so the man won't catch me riding dirty. And speaking of dirty, took the windshield off so I could clean the dash and instrumentation area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTheAzn Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Took mine apart yesterday. Re-bled the brakes. Checked all my fork bolts. Washed out all the body work and mud that was on the bike. Also kicked myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSerfozo Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 (edited) Installed a brand new bungee net! Dunno why resizing the photo made the seat look shimmery. Edited June 1, 2017 by MSerfozo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixxus Christ! Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Pulled the carbs off the Honda, reset my float levels and fucked around with air screws and tightening intake boots clamps until it finally idles steady at 1200 rpm and doesn't hang after being revved or stall out after idling too long. New seat foam and cover arrive next Weds. In the near future I'll be replacing the rusty pitted fork legs with brand new shiny ones, ditching the huge stock headlight mount brackets for some little skeletonized black anodized ones and either painting or replacing the headlight bucket. This year is all about the cosmetics and making this bike look as good as it runs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSerfozo Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Rode back home from the Post Office with a box under my new bungee net. Opened it up to find this!!! It'll probably be a week or two before I find time to install it... Stay tuned, I'll post pics when it's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To adapt shorter Hayabusa forks to my B12. Still needs holes for the ignition key switch and bar clamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
