Topic: Look what we built!!!

[RYNO]

Well this is what we built together.  I have to thank all of u from seaweb, TT, Hondaman, and everyone that ever asked a question.  I didn't produce a build thread cuz thats not how i'm made but I've really enjoyed reading everyone elses. Thanks.

I got the idea from watching "Horsepower TV". I used to have a 66 Mustang years ago and they were advertising replacement LED headlights for it.  I figured that they weren't the company making them so I made a trip to AutoZone to double check fitment of a 7' inch Mustang headlight in my headlight bucket then hunted down the company producing them.

Awesome, love it.

NICE!!!  I'm jealous!  What kind of tank and seat is that?

[captaincrash80]

That looks awesome man. Clean and simple, just the way I like it

Very sweet bike, love the wheels.

It's a BCR tank and an Air-Streamlining Tech fairing.

Awesome, love it.

  You spotted her. You're right! 98 EK w/B16A BAR legal swap.

Yes! Love it. I too own an EG6; no swap as I used to run a single cam turbo set up until about 2004. Now shes my daily beater, one day she'll be an even bigger beast than before. Nice to see someone else with a vintage CB and Civic hatch combo too. My brother has that same set up as you in his 91 CRX, that thing pulls as I'm sure your does too! Ride safe and congrats on a sick looking CB.

Cool - the site says it draws 2.5a on low beam, and 4.5a on high... Watt = Volts * Amps (I hope), so it only draws 30w at low, and 54 watts on high. I'm looking to minimize power draw on my build - that looks like a good way to do it! Thanks for the info man.

No problem.  I'd hope a lot of people would think about getting it.  It's really bright and I believe it makes you almost impossible to miss.

Thanks! Here in Southern California they have a huge Honda meet put on by Eibach and I was hoping to attend with the bike.  It would be nice to see some others from that scene make there way to this forum to see how a real community acts and supports each other.

[rickmoore24]

The one in Corona/Riverside? Off the 91 freeway? I've stopped by that one before to check it out. It's sad to say but it's true about other forums. This forum is very friendly and informative, even when folks disagree; they agree to disagree and thats that. No poop talking or peacocking needed. Your bike would be a hit I think. Maybe when it comes around again I'll ride mine over too. She's not as pretty as yours but it's all good.

Or for a fraction of the price and a constant 35W output, you could install an HID.

True. HID would have been cheaper.  But I wanted it to match up with the LED taillight I was going to use.

wow  nice bike sweet good golly thats nice

[Grnrngr]

It's beautiful!! Did you have to make any "adjustments" to that BCR tank? been hearin rumors....

[lordmember1969]

Nice bike

How much for the headlight?

[brandEn]

Your bike is great, To bad you didn't document the build I would have loved to seen the way this one progressed. Any before pics?

[RYNO]

Thanks again for all the compliments  Sorry about the delay getting back to everyone...it was just a really busy weekend.

Overall I'm happy.  I didn't have to do any body work. It holds fuel.  I did have to purchase my own petcock and fuel cap which added to the price but that would pretty much go for just about every tank.  However, I didn't realize the sealing (and resealing) of the fiberglass tank was going to be an issue.  So if I was going to recommend anything it would be to just get a steel tank so that you'd never have do deal with those issues.

Nice bike

$300 after shipping.  Expensive but I think it was worth it.
