NeverEnough Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Lots of hours into this project.... But it is all coming together rather quickly now 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....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzU4n6K5ttE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeverEnough Posted May 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 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.... 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.
