RE: Oh No, not another Power Box thread!

Gumby - I tried to order the non-megaphone power box, but SP Tadao said they were out of stock (as was Webike, etc.) and they didn't anticipate being able to resume production for 3 or more months. I do like the very clean look of that diminutive pipe.

Brougham - The stock ECU will handle most any slip-on. It's not until you eliminate the cat converter that a separate fuel controller is needed.

I mentioned the SP Tadao sounds like the Staintune. It does while riding, but when goosing the throttle in neutral it has a slight tinny sound component when compared to the Staintune. It's not bad, just different.

On another subject I got a wild hair up my a$$ and decided to paint the grab rails, mostly for the sake of change. I used gloss black but will change it to matte. I can't decide if I like it and can always go back to silver.

Interesting. I ordered the non-megaphone power box short from Takashi on 7/26, no problem. He quoted a week to make it, and it is expected to arrive late next week.

I was considering doing the exact same thing with my grab rails, or 'garnish' as Honda calls them. It looks like some of the '14 standards may have come with black ones already although most of the ones I have seen still have the silver. I was going to do the gloss as well, but it is interesting you want to go to matte. Is this for a better match with the seat?

Dang! I tried Webike on July 2 and Mr T. a week later. Both said the same thing. Please post pictures when you install it. That is one sweet pipe.

Veech - The gloss black is growing on me. I left things as is for now.

Yesterday I painted the grab rail hardware and the very top of one of the shocks. Today I'll do the other shock but need to move the exhaust to remove the bottom mounting bolt for that other shock. A couple days for the paint to dry and then back on the road. I'll post a pic.

8/1 UPDATE:

Black treatment on grip rails and Ohlins shocks:

Nice mod. I like the SP Tadao Twin Tail on the CB as well. Thought about the SP for my bike but went in another direction. Enjoy.
