G'day from Sydney
#1

Hi Guys,

Just thought i'd say G'day and show some pic's of the bike. Only had it for around a month now but really digging the old school feel of the Honda. Being a super sport type bike rider for 20 years this was the first naked bike that really caught my eye and after a quick test ride I had to add one to the stable.

I have striped it down a bit which i'm sure a few members will hate but It's something I've always done to make a bike feel more mine I guess. Last picture is my other love, it's an 09 hayabusa I've owned since new.

Anyway, hope to chat soon and add/gain some knowledge on the CB and hopefully meet a few friends in the process, which is I guess why we are all here,

Cheers,

Jason.

G'day Jason. Welcome aboard from another Australian. This is an excellent forum, and I hope you'll enjoy it—and the bike! You've done a great job on it.

G'day, welcome to the forum. It's each to their own here. I just sit back and admire other people's enterprise and imagination. My CB is stock but gets a fair hammering.

Cheers, Tony

Welcome Jman! You have that CB looking light! Bet the Hyabusa is a fun ride.

Welcome Jman. It is cool to see how each person is making the cb their own. Thanks for sharing your pictures.

Hi Jason and welcome to the forum. I like your customisation, must be fun to ride, the CB is a good platform for tinkering. How does it feel with the super bike bars? Tell us about your exhaust and what did you do under the seat to keep water out given the rear guard is removed? Happy riding.

Hi Aussieflyer, love your bike want to do the cafe seat myself one day soon. In regards to questions,

Bars are great, still very comfortable, Renthal road super lows, just moved the brake and clutch lines to face up instead of down and that handles the excess line.

Exhaust is a voodoo shorty I got from the states, about 80 bucks + delivery and it took 5 minutes to fit. Sounds meaty and is suprisingly good quality for the price.

I used some plastic to cover the underside of the seat from the elements. I was going to use fibreglass but a cut up bucket (79 cents from Bunnings) did an awesome job, lol

Cheers,

Jason.

Howdee,

Yeah the Busa is a handful, very hard to maintain the speed limit on it. I think that's why i'm hooked on the CB, just so much fun to cruise on, it gets up and goes but it's definitely a riders bike. I keep saying i'll just go for an hours ride and spend half the day on the thing Smile

A 70 cent bucket ... now that IS resourceful, love it!

Keep us posted on your tinkering, I've got a feeling that you are gonna have a lot of fun and if that bucket represents your lateral thinking then you will give us plenty of fresh ideas.

Great stuff Jman.
