HondaCB1

Built only in 1989 and 1990. Apparently in Japan there is/was some weird licensing/insurance jump at 400cc, so this guy is 399cc with lots of go. Redline is 13,500 RPM!

Already done modifications:

• braided steel brake lines
• front fork from F2
• larger back tire
• 49 state head
• jetting (actually not sure, but looks like there’s the remains of a kit in my box of stuff)
• Chafong clip-ons
• Mtec headlight bulb replacement (brighter but could be brighter still)
• new mirrors

Intended modifications:

• custom sheet metal chain guard

Maybe modifications:

• brake light modulator
• Luxeon brake lights
• Luxeon running lights
• reflective tape on forks and side panels
• louder exhaust (ideally louder at low rpms, quieter at high rpms)

Linky:

• Meta-links
• Owner’s Manual
• Workshop Manual
• Common Service Manual
• Some dude’s site with a bunch of mods
