New To Fourms

[petemac]

Hey what's up guys.I'm kind of new to the fourms, had an account but never really posted anything. I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Pete and im from nj in the states and I'm a proud owner of a Blue 89 Cb-1. I recently just got my permit and am very new to riding but i caught on very quickly ( i rode dirtbikes/mopeds). I love this bike i have gotten so many compliment already!!

There is a bunch of things id like to do but i'm going to need your help!!
I'd like to put an exhaust on which brands would u suggest and if u no a good site to order from.
Also i hateee the rear brake light any other lights that will fit wit some mod? what are some other good mods that can be done witout a ton of work?

ANY INPUT IS APPRECIATED!

From one Peter to another...welcome!    To my knowledge, no one sells exhausts systems for our 1 anymore.      Companies that use to were, Onatario Moto Tech/Sudco, Kerker, Two Bros., here in the States.  Im sure there were quite a few more in Japan, but even now, its tough to find them.  Finding a complete after market system for the 1 today would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Hi Pete, welcome to the board.

Exhausts are pretty rare. The best way is to find a universal 52mm slip-on which you like the look of, and take it to an exhaust fabricator to get a centre pipe made up. I suggest cutting the exhaust quite low so that you also remove the mid-pipe baffle. A couple of inches behind the 4-1 join will do it, though you'll need a new centre bracket made up.

Have you removed the brake light spacer yet? Part 11 in this diagram:

Hey!! thanks for all this info... i have not taken the spacer out yet...Im guessing that will make it sit more flush? cuz rite now its like awkward looking sticking out of the tail by several inches..Thats sad news that they dont make a exhaust but im going to do what u advised me to do.. This bike is way to quiet!! kinda makes it dangerous, id like for people to hear me coming lol What mods have u done?? interested in how ur bike looks

The only thing i have done so far was remove the license plate holder.. That thing was so ugly, so basically cut it all off and just left enough room to bolt the license plate up..looks way better imo

That's exactly what it will do, make it sit in more like the Japan model of this bike (which I have).

About mods - have a look in this thread:

There's a ton of information scattered about this forum, it's worth having a read through it, no one minds if you call up "dead" topics.
