The free CB350T and CB125S live
« on: November 05, 2006, 09:39:05 PM »
Got Them running this weekend. A little more fiddling needed with the idle on the 350. I set it by ear with the little spring/screw adjusters feeling for exhaust presure. Whatever aftermarket slip-ons those are (sort of a smooth reverse meg) loud as hell! Sounds like the neighbors Harley. I may have to look for stockers if I don't Cafe or Racer it. What works better on these twins, dual or 2 into 1 exhaust?
 I've got a couple of pod filters, anyone have an idea on how far I need to go on main jet? Mixture?
As soon as I have the petcock rubber parts I'll be just in time to put them away for the winter...

Thanks guys.

I've been using stock pipes on my 350, but I purchased some pipes from JC Whitney that were universal and looked pretty close to originals.  They came in as two different styles. I actually preferred the wrong one better. So I went in search of a match that JC Whitney didn't officially carry. I put them on my CB77 and have that one mismatch still. I recently ordered a Mac 2 into 1. It's sold in black or chrome, but they are a little hard to come buy. Mac said they only had one in chrome on the shelf. I expect the fit and performance to be maybe decent, but for the price it seems like a good choice for me.

Yesterday a 2 into 1 sold for $300 new with chipped chrome and shelf rash. It looked like a kirker. There was a Basani 2 into 1 whcih sold about a month ago for over $600. The quality on these looked much higher thann the Mac.
