Hi

Been lurking around this forum for quite some time and found great inspiration here:) I am not new to building bikes or cars but this is my first Honda build. It started out as a 1977 F1 supersport.

The plan is:
Fuel injection (this is the tread that started it out http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=30624.0 Great tread:)

Hondaman ignition
Cbr 1000 brakes and footrests.
Modified cb 500 gas tank. (stretched with knee indents)
seat, clip on and and so on:)
DDM HID light.
Gsxr 750 swingarm.
Oil tank in the swingarm.
The Gordon frame kit.
Frankenstuff`s clear points cover.

As you understand from the "tread name" my native language is not English, so if my writing " sucks"

That's why:) But will post pictures. As I know we all love that:)

Ok...

where to start? Yes... Got tiered of M....ing around with the carbs, did not get them sorted out:(
So 750essess tread got me going.. Did go for the gsxr 600 throttle bodies 01-03, as they needed no modifications to them. It was just a matter of fabricating spacers to make them fit the Honda intace boots:) And move the throttlewire to the center of the bodies:)

Then brakes:) Me and wife was out driving, and a cager drove out inn front of us

Hit the brakes as hard as i could

Locked the rear wheel, but nothing much else happened.. Did manage to go around the F.......

Decided to do something about them:) The brakes:)

Front

Rear

Nice, I really like where you're going with this project. The progress as this is the sort of direction I want to go with my next build. Great job!

lordmember1969 · « **Reply #13 on:** May 08, 2010, 03:59:27 PM »

Thank you:) will try to upgrade the bike with some modern parts, but apart from brakes and the EFI. Just the basics. No signal light or unnecessary weiring

Less is more

A beer to anyone who guess what will be modified to become velocity stacks

Thanks a lot:) I do welding, lathe, milling and body and paintwork:) But got Friends who help me out if i get " stuck ".. But i try to do as much as I possible can:)

If anyone else can why not me:)

Will use microsquirt to run the EFI, same as 750essess did on his EFI conversion:)

http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=30624.225

Great tread you should check out if you considering EFI:)
