Posts: 418 10/23/08 05:06 PM	Tags : None Pile-O-Parts Assembled just to see if it would run and ride..........and it did! http://s287.photobucket.com/albums/ll150/jpswino2/cbx/ Carbs before http://s238.photobucket.com/albums/ff187/Houndog750/cbx/ Carbs after http://s238.photobucket.com/albums/ff187/Houndog750/cbx/done/ I have since changed the chrome tips to a baffled set with no rocket type flare. This fishtail type was actually muffled and made the bike sound like a buzz box crotch rocket. Now that I found a sound I really like with the One Day Amen, I may go for a third altering and open it up completely in a similiar way to the Amen. We'll see. First of order is the swingarm stretch with seat rail mods and better tank mounting immediately on its heels. I am considering a cb1100f swingarm as it holds a wider rim and tire. Anyone got one laying around? "In the wind, with my mind on my money and my money on my mind"...now I just gotta get some.

Posts: 418 10/31/08 11:33 PM	mstspot, I'm not sure if you know Tractorcharlie, but he went to prison two days ago on gun violations. A real terrific guy. I spent time with him and his wife Angie at the WHCM in June. They had a cabin next to me as well so we hung out, rode, and ate together. A real shame that he'll be gone for a while.

Posts: 418 11/15/08 07:35 PM	Okay, been struggling with some different ideas. I really like a 21 for up front on the cbx. I have been bidding on egay for different HD mags with no luck yet. If I get the right mag then a black powder front and back may help the cbr mag work as far as eye appeal goes. I poked around with some questions on swapping honda stems into HD front ends. Looks easy for a machine shop and cheap ($30). I am leaning towards this move. But if I cannot be successful with the HD parts (getting them cheap enough) then I have another idea. What if I lace a honda hub to a 21 rim? Then I could use the honda front end still. I have a 200mm tire on a excel laced to an old honda drum. Would help make drive chain alignment easier, thats for sure. Still would need to extend the swingarm to fit the wide tire. Was thinking about creating a monoshock suspension too. I know, I'm all over the map. But considering all ideas and will settle on one coming up soon. We'll see how the egay bidding goes. Wish me luck.

Its 5supkids bike from the other sight. http://i214.photobucket.c...ids/motorcyclepics010.jpg "In the wind, with my mind on my money and my money on my mind"...now I just gotta get some.

Posts: 418 11/17/08 09:47 PM	Thanks Swiff. But I don't think you were the one that bid $405 for the Ironhorse front end. I'm still trying. The mag I am bidding on is still going for like 3 more days and the next front end ends in one day. If I dont get this mag I may rethink a 21 spoker up front and squeeze that 200mm laced to a Honda drum out back and forget the whole sportbike wheel idea. yeah, I'm pouting! phuck! Prices are just NOT cooperating on ebay. Where are all these people getting their money? I thought the country was broke?

Posts: 994 11/17/08 11:11 PM	CATCH 22,when gas prices are high and cars cost to much the price of motorcycles and their parts go up.I also think that bidders that go to high on e-scum dont end up paying for their bids.Seen it many times so i would keep up hope that it will come back up.And no the only thing i would bid againt you on would be a two stack, firebrick lined, stainless steel ,b-b-q grill, on wheels.

Posts: 418 11/19/08 05:06 PM	Well fellas. I think I'll give up the sportbike rear wheel dream as a way to add rubber. I can't get an aftermarket 21" mag or an aftermarket (HD) front end at a reasonable cost. I suppose I could run a spoker up front and the mag in back but that looks out of balance to me. SO, I have options, of course. I have a brand new 200mm Metzeler mounted to an excel rim with a Honda drum hub. I am thinking I'll go that route to get the extra rubber on the CBX. Then lace a Honda hub to a 21" rim so I can have the tall wheel up front that I want and the bonus will be I'll be able to re-use the Honda trees and lowers rather than converting to HD. Much cheaper to get the whole project done. I hate to admit it but the money wins this time. I have committed to the WHCM Build Off just recently and need to channel money into that project which makes saving on the CBX much more attractive. I am going to move forward on this now that I am sure of the direction. Gonna stretch the swing arm first. Then add the wide rear wheel. Then rake the front out a bit to lower the stance. (got advice from Shoe on this cause the frame is so wacky). Add the 21 up front. And lastly, rework the seat area in some sort of modified Konging. Oh, and install a Yamaha mono-shock. The plan is done. Now gotta do the work. "In the wind, with my mind on my money and my money on my mind"...now I just gotta get some. Last Edited By: jpswino 11/19/08 05:10 PM. Edited 1 time.

Posts: 534 11/23/08 11:26 AM	Hey JP. I just wanted to tell you about my experiences with a CBX. In the early 80s, I was the NHRA official at our local 1/8 miles drag strip. I was the poor bastard having to stand in the middle of the lanes and start the Christmas tree. There was a guy on a new CBX that raced there. It was all stock except for straight pipes. He ran pretty consistant in the 6.20s. By comparison, my street legal 69 Firebird ran 8.10s, and the pro-stock Duster I ran for a friend ran 7.20s. It was also the loudest, most obnoxious, sounding machine on the planet...lol Just thought I'd share! freebyrd

Posts: 418 11/23/08 11:34 AM	That ALL sounds good to me! After a lot of what my attorney would call "discovery", it looks like spokes are gonna be the way to go. I like spokes better but thought that doing mags for this would make this project a little different. Gotta go out to the shop now. I'll bring the camera so I can show you guys a few ideas still left for considering. "In the wind, with my mind on my money and my money on my mind"...now I just gotta get some.

Posts: 418 11/23/08 11:26 PM	DAMN IT!!!!! Now I need to completely redesign! WTF! THAT was my plan! Okay boys, just so you don't think I'm blowing smoke. Rearranged the shop today and got the CBX up on the boxes. Removed the rear end and started some fitting and mocking just to see what needs to be done and where. Figuring about a 5 inch swing arm stretch to the already 3 inch longer sportbike rear for a total of 8 past stock. But it doesn't really look way out even with the 8 inches over. The pics are off my Razor so they suck a little in quality. http://i287.photobucket.c...150/jpswino2/cbx/cbx1.jpg http://i287.photobucket.c...50/jpswino2/cbx/cbx12.jpg http://i287.photobucket.c...50/jpswino2/cbx/cbx15.jpg Here are some closer pics of the swing arm http://i287.photobucket.c...150/jpswino2/cbx/cbx2.jpg http://i287.photobucket.c...50/jpswino2/cbx/cbx13.jpg http://i287.photobucket.c...50/jpswino2/cbx/cbx14.jpg Here is the shock http://i287.photobucket.c...50/jpswino2/cbx/cbx11.jpg You cant tell in the pic cause its dark but the lowest point is a portion of the pipes at a c-hair over 7". Plan to lower the final ride height to about 5 or so. http://i287.photobucket.c...150/jpswino2/cbx/cbx3.jpg Guess which bolt goes to the stock arm and which goes to the sportbike one? http://i287.photobucket.c...150/jpswino2/cbx/cbx4.jpg Its kinda hard to tell in these pics but it looks like the honda hubs fits perfect! And there seems to be room for the 200mm tire that will soon be living here on an Excel 5.5" rim. http://i287.photobucket.c...150/jpswino2/cbx/cbx5.jpg http://i287.photobucket.c...150/jpswino2/cbx/cbx6.jpg http://i287.photobucket.c...150/jpswino2/cbx/cbx9.jpg http://i287.photobucket.c...150/jpswino2/cbx/cbx7.jpg And here is the donor front hub to be laced to the 21" rim http://i287.photobucket.c...150/jpswino2/cbx/cbx8.jpg So there is the update. No bullshit, just building. Plan to get a bunch done this week with some time off. "In the wind, with my mind on my money and my money on my mind"...now I just gotta get some.
