I made it go vroom


NeverEnough

Recommended Posts

Lots of hours into this project.... But it is all coming together rather quickly now :D

I fabbed up everything... even the wiring harness I made, and scrounged up parts to get it all to work ie. fuel pump, fuel cut off relay, etc....

Spent pretty much the entire afternoon out on the road.... Holy shiznit. The blackbird motor is one of a kind....

SO MUCH POWAHH....ALOT, and I mean A LOT more torque than the original 893cc cbr900rr mill....

Made a little stop for a photo shoot and this one was by far my favorite...though I think I exceeded the MAX HP LIMIT...whoops.... :p

Still need to paint the exhaust so it all matches and buff up the muffler, add USD forks to it, and figure out what to run for the headlight- I'm still undecided on what I want.
