Sorry to revive a dead thread, however, does the bike needs to be set to TDC (top dead center) before removing the CCT? I'm getting mixed opinions on the matter.

I did not set mine to TDC when I did mine I just removed and replaced 1 at a time and also enlarged the oil passage in the Gasket as per "SPUDS" post's

Then wound the motor over by hand 2 or three times to make sure there was no interference

Then just started the bike as normal and listened to the sweet sound of NO MORE chain slap / tensioner rattle

Very interested in a set of these for my 04

I really want todomy2004v-tec wheels in gold but not sure on the paint code/name

I don't want them to turn out to be too yellow or too dark , the colour you have looks just about right

The muffler change totally changes the look of the bike with the wheel being more exposed

And the black"plasti-dip" seems to make the rear seem smaller and more intergrated

I like it

I never really understood bike manufacturers covering up a single sided swingarm and exposed wheel with an exhaust
