Jack up the license plate and drive a CBR1000RR under it. Lower the license plate, bolt it on, and you just picked up a whole bunch of horsepower.

You can try new sprockets, won't technically add horsepower, but will make the bike feel more zippy at the expense of a few more revs on the highway.

Yeah but that isn't what i'm looking for,

my other bike has like a million caburateur options, it also has 3 or 4 cylinder and piston options, even has ignition options,

and this is a bike from the 70's!

why isn't there anything like that for my RC24?

You can rejet your carbeurator, a slightly richer mix (especially with aftermarket exhaust) might run SLIGHTLY better...

no bolt on carbs, cams, pistons, etc, though. Sorry.

After breaking off a very, very expensive special tap in a very expensive engine block, I found out that taps, while very hard and almost impossible to drill through, are extremely brittle. I got my smallest air chisel bit and gave the tap a few taps-it shattered into a million pieces.

looks like you might be a little too far along for that to be of any help, but it might be worth a shot.

Damn. I would have dropped all the F bombs and took it in at the first bolt breakage. :mellow:

Oh wait. I mean that's what I did when I snapped a bolt recently. I know my limits with that stuff. :blush:

Doesn't help me to take it anywhere, then I'll just be mad at myself for breaking it, AND for paying someone else to do something I should/could do myself... I find it's best to just drop what I'm doing and leave it alone until I figure out how to fix it.

Sure, that means this build thread could go on forever, but hey, at least it's entertaining! :huh:

More than you wanted to know about HID in a Gen I.

Tell me about the S-10 head light install? Did it bolt right in or did you have to mod it? And did you see the new HI/LO HID bulbs?

I'll second your choice for ChromaSystem paints. I pained my bike with them last year, (and did a half-assed job prepping everything), and it turned out pretty darn good given my skill level. They are also fairly inexpensive (I paid $160 for 2 pts color, reducer, 1qt clear and 1qt clear activator) from FinishMaster. One warning, though, keep ANYTHING with alcohol away from this paint. I sloshed some SeaFoam on my paint and it lifted within 10 minutes! :wheel: Oh well, I guess it gives me a chance to do it right again this winter...
