Thanx man, yea it feels really nice to ride now and feels a lot smoother with the 12" front wheel and longer forks. The forks are very stiff at the moment though so i need to soften them up a bit somehow, i might have to get springs cause every time i try to let air out of the air valve, oil pisses out im going to have a look at them tonight and maybe try to let air out by opening up the top of the leg? They have like 60 psi or something my fox pump says.

Yea i laced it myself, I am prob going to paint the back hub black to match the front before i lace up the new rim. Sorry man, i have like no use for another hub lol

Yea man, lacing the wheel wasnt too hard. It was when i tryed to do it the way sano says in the piece of paper that comes with the forks, but if you look at bbr's video on youtube and do it that way it aint too hard... still took me a couple of hours to do it there way alone though. Just take your time, mine came up pretty good with pretty much no sideways buckle and a bout 1 mm of egg which is only really noticeable on a dti. The forks feel pretty good but i think i may have got a faulty set cause my rebound adjustment doesnt work. I am trying to sought that out now...

Cheers, Dave

Heres another picture with it a bit cleaner. I just started stripping the paint off the clutch cover, i have noticed not many people bother but i rekon it looks kewl. Let me know what you guys think.

Cheers, Dave

Im personally not a fan of the Stripped Covers. But still the thing looks mint...Good to see more Honda's getting built again.

 

[unit_mx]

Looks awsome mate!
Love the look of the stock pipe too , you've cleaned it up really nice. Did you grind all the heat shield tabs of it ? And sand it?
