Topic: old chopper

[dave500]

going through some photos,,this was at the local showgrounds last year,550,,it was for sale,,dont know what he wanted for it,,probably too much anyway.not my cup of tea.

[tramp]

the bike looks real low to the ground
wonder how he turned?

[dave500]

it wasnt registered,it came on a trailer,he rode it into position,those pipes sounded good at the low revs used to do it,,ill bet they sound shallow at full cry .

The worst part (for me) in building a hardtail or rigid Honda is that you get that large empty area when the tranny of a Hardley resides.

[dave500]

another angle,yeah not really rideable

[tramp]

good looking bike
just can't ride it

[dave500]

this was a one of at this show,check the detail skull on the rear brake ball pivot.,it was mostly real old stuff,like this

[KeithTurk]

man... that AJS is freaking brillant...

I have a question about the exhaust on these cb 4's, In my reading up on them I was under the impression that as far as the exhaust 1&3 and 2&4 fire alike and the pipes should be hooked up that way, is this true or have I misread the information? Of course then access to the oil filter would be compromised I thought that is why honda put a crossover tube on the stock exhaust pipes to equalize back pressure or something?

[dave500]

umm? no cross over tube on these bikes,,they do appear on others ,most of these run 4-4,or 4-2 or 4-1,a custom pipe might have it,err?,not really a done thing.

[dave500]

sorry about this guys butt,,err,this was the calibre of the show,like real old stuff.the honda was just umm,out there.

[Jordan]

Not an actual cross over tube, but at the end of the mufflers on each side there is a connection (some type of hose and clamp) unless I am mistaken.
