Number 8 revised

One of the many benefits of building your own bike is the freedom to choose and or alter what your not really 100% happy with.
Whilst building number 8 i did wonder if a silver paint job on the motor would be right for the bike, well turns out it wasn't so here's number 8 version 2...

    Hey there mate
    Was just wondering if the's any way of getting in touch ?
    I'm over near Lampeter but have got a large collection of old Honda's in a barn in Norfolk and I think you may be interested in some of them...?

    Hey! Love your builds. Q: what gaitors are you using? They are nicer than the huge stock ones. Thanks!

      Bought from ebay. Measure your fork dimensions and get as close as you can.
      Cheers.

    Hi Backtracker, really cool stuff you create ;)
    What front rim and tyre sizes are on this one?
    I'm beging my NX650 (2000 year make) project, it has 17" rims all around (from honda FMX) not sure should i go for TKC80 120/70 TL or 120/90 TT in front?

    Hi I have a question about jetting. I have a nx650 with k&N filter and crf250 silencers. Bike runs but I have problems with dropping idle and deceleration poping. Any advice of what main, slow and needle setup to start with?

      I always used the 180 main
      jet and stock pilot.
      I also raised the needle 1.5mm.
      Hope this helps.

    Hi there, sorry because the post is old but I would like to know if you remember the brand/reference of this black motor paint ? It seems awesome and would like the same for my Domi

    Thanks from France
