She runs and runs beautiful!
I'll do a video when fully warmed up.
And not pouring rain.It was screeching when I started it., Originally thought it was the starter, but when running it was awfully loud. I thought "here we go" something major.
I had a suspicion it was the generator....
Look what I found...
A tiny recess where a slightly bent fan blade was rubbing the cover.Really easy fix and now sounds great!

I know it's not the same, but my RS is too loud for prolonged use without ear plugs. My ears are literally ringing from the noise. I am a sensitive lad though.

Agreed. I prefer quiet engines that make power. Turbo Flutter is a must.
Now an eargasm superbike inline 4 that's a win.
But I can't stand loud Hondas that make fack all power.
Always Originate, Never Pirate!

I mean it's no Skyline but it's still 133hp out of a 1.3 860Kgs from 1989.

Honda Civic EG6
It's purely the fact that it's low weight and turbo'd. It's competitive let's just say that.
Difference is, those B16s can be tuned to the moon, the 4EFTEs are running into issues around the 400hp mark. Gearbox is sketchy at 300+.

Struggling to change gear....
After some checks, it looks like I was sent the cb750 nighthawk gear linkage.... The bikes share a lot of parts but the lever sits in a different position so the leverage isn't correct for a sevenfifty.But she pulls nicely, actually not too loud

Doing the finishing touches. I really like this headlight guard.. took a bit of adapting to fit.

Kudos on doing your own thing bud. Too many people throw excruciating amounts of money trying to put a shine on an already overpollished turd! 🤪

Got all gears back now
Playing around with the appearance.
Covered all the yellow protaper logos.
Blacked out the white seat band.Made up a tank strap belt from a shotgun cartridge belt.
I'll probably out some empty cartridges in it.
I didn't like the "open" side of the belt facing up on the side stand.
