I took off the old crappy mufflers and made my own exhaust system. I bought some heat wrap tape (black) to cover the resonators and put chrome turn out tips on each. The result was a very unique look with a nice throaty sounding growl. Loud pipes save lives! Plus they look a lot cooler now.
In the meantime I am working on a sissy bar. It is taking a long time to do it since I am learning to weld and doing all of the work in my apartment. Crazy, yes I know. Its amazing that I haven't caught the building on fire!
Feel free to add a comment to this blog and send me a note if you have questions on what I am doing.

EXTRA PARTS!!!!

So now I have a bunch of extra parts:
- front axle
- 5 original turn signals
- 2 rotors
etc etc.

Does anyone need these? I am happy to get rid of them.

Ok, for today I will show you some of the changes I have made to the bike. The tank I originally went from the metallic black to a white inlay with blue pinstriping. After looking at it I thought it sucked and looked too much like motocross so I stripped it down and filled the dents from the previous owner. I repainted it black then airbrushed a light coat of transparent blue cobalt. The pictures do not show the blue very well but it is there. It turned out to be a cool colour as it changes in the sunlight. At different times of the day it can look black, blue or a deep purple. I still need to do a lot of buff and polishing but the paint is done. How did I paint it when I live in an apartment?? Well I changed my bathroom into a spray booth. Crazy I know but no crazier than welding and grinding on my patio. What is amazing is that I have not received any complaints from my neighbours…yet.

The Hiatus Is Over....

Greetings! So it’s been a really long time since I updated my blog although I have actually been working on the bike the whole time. I was informed by a friend that when ever he Googles Honda bikes that my page comes up. Therefore I feel a duty to give y’all some long overdue updates…soon. I have made a lot of changes and taken many pictures and when I have a bit more time I will add them all to the page. But in brief here is some of what I have done: new exhaust system(no muffler), changed out a lot of the bolts with stainless steel hex bolts, painted the tank and side covers, repaired the tank, new handle bars, grips, horns, fabricated some highway pegs etc etc. Stay tuned and check back frequently and I’ll have the posts with pictures up. Ride safe and keep the shiny side up. D
