Topic: 71' CB175 & 04' Rune

[K5owner]

1971 CB175 K5     This was the year & model of my first bike. Bought it just recently. Bike looks good in the picture, but needs a lot of work to make her new again (2012 Fall Project... I hope)



2004 Honda NRX1800EB Rune. I've had it since new.

Thanks Mick, glad to see your daughter has the bike bug.
The Runes came in three colors, Candy Black Cherry, Double Clear-coat Black & Illusion Blue. The blue is really cool in the sun light, kind of changes colors. I've only done a few modifications. The stock exhaust was too quiet so I worked with a friend that's an Induction Engineer for Ford. We welded a jig to hold the stock exhaust in place and cut it open/apart. He did some computer simulations. We ended up rerouting the middle cylinder pipes and re-baffling the mufflers. Turned out great. The other mod is a CNC machined rear wheel knock off (mimics the wheel design). Here's a pic.
