in stages. I was just looking at them last night but the money is getting tight. I will take care of them when I unleash power and do a full tyga system

Didn't someone lock out use of the phrase "unleash power" on this website?

 

Beautiful build 3D.

 

Is there evidence that the Tyga header system may appear in the near future?

Huge +1 on the wheel color, Seb.  I'm trying picture it on my factory red 2001, but can't quite make it click for some reason. Thoughts?

 

Well, I'm a little biased, but I think it would look good!

I don't think you could go wrong with that wheel color, well maybe you could on a RWB bike but anything else would be bad ass, it is a much darker bronze color that the factory bronze on the 8 gen.

Gotcha.  It's all going to be worth it in the end.  I like the Lazer cans its amazing how someone could make such a cool looking and unique exhaust, and then cheap out on the mounting brackets.

 

Be aware that Laser went belly up (again).

This NL-based company folded a few years back and re-emerged with a lot of Chinese-made junk that eventually caught up with them.....

So you are back to "buy american" cans......:goofy:

ok anybody use a smaller rear brake reservoir, I am having a issue having room for the oem and my acc. fuse panel. wondering what people have used

 

You could use an "HRC" rear reservoir.  It's not a reservoir at all, really, just a section of clear Tygon tubing with a plastic plug in the end of it!  All of the parts have Honda (or HRC) part numbers, so they can be ordered.  I have them somewhere, if you're interested.

 

Ciao,

well I think I can up with a simple bracket to space the reservoir out of the way of the fuse box, then trimmed the little black fairing under the seat to make room for it. it does not hit anything and looks good so I will run that, will take a picture later.

wow been a while I should be ashamed, I have been very busy with some other things lately but, I think riding season is quickly approaching so here we go.

 

got my blue lugs in the a while back, they are the ball radius lug nuts for Honda wheels, I have 15 more if anyone wants a set or 2-3.

not sure if this video will work but I will try. should be a clip of the exhaust, way deeper tone now, before it was very harsh and raspy, not the sound I wanted out of a v4, sounds more like a good staintune.

so I did like 10 hours in the shop yesterday to get every thing powder coated. forks, upper clamp, wheel, a bunch of brackets, and cerakoteing the last of my nuts and bolts. cerakote in the way to go on things like that, very hard does not scratch and very thin coating. very very time consuming though. 3 hours of oven time for the damn bolts lol.

 

anyways tell me what you think, will try to get another update later today.

I know in some other post I have seen question on gas cap disassembly, here are some detailed pictures, this assumes you have the cap off the tank.

                                                                                         gently pull back the rubber seal on the bottom you will see a metal ring, carefully remove the ring, don't want to bend it or

                                                                                         damage the seal.

once the ring is out again pull back the seal there are three screws, take the out this will remove the lock mechanism if just replacing the lock stop here

if you are coating the lid remove these two screws as well, that will remove the key hole cover.

there paint and reverse

Dude, just go look at a 1990 VFR.  It's the same color code for paint (Italian Red) and came stock with white wheels.

 

Here's a random google image:

I'm not a white wheel fan. My first bike had them and they were always dirty. However, I think they look good against the red.

 

They look perfect for the RWB. Much better than black.

3D, just so excellently well done!  The best RWB out there imho.  Really ace work here.  Love the wheels, and basically everything else too!
