... That was one factor. Also, I recall reading that at one point, they dropped a gear entirely, from a 4 speed with overdrive to a 3 with overdrive. I have a...
... Maybe Toyota and others will eventually follow Honda and use the CVT transmission. It would increase mileage a bunch, although having the engine run at a...
I'm in the middle of installing my new bars, and when I uninstalled the old ones, I noticed that along with the bar-end "weights" that screw into the very end...
... An anchor is their purpose. They grip the wall of the handlebar tubing, no other reason to be there. The bar-end mirrors will be enough weight to dampen...
Thanks for all your help. After a little messing around with the housings, I was able to find a handlebar position that allowed for full lock on both sides....
Oh, and one more thing.....The bolts that hold the housings onto the bars, as well as the hex bolts that hold the actual handlebars on in the middle are both...
Just added to the Photos section, in Cspan's CB250 sub directory, a couple pics of the Renntec rack bag that can be purchased via Revsperformance.com. You will...
... Cool pics Carl. Somehow I thought you might break down and buy it. You make me want to run out and shine up my bike! (The uninitiated should also note the...
Check the 'CB Roots' pic in Photos and note the flat bars on the CB175. Your levers should be tilted down more. While sitting on the bike, if you extend your...
Hi all. Well, I have a report on installing the Renntec rack on the CB250. The first thing that had to take place after receiving the rack was to paint the...
... Easy there, Carnac. It was a gift! ... Are yours on yet? BTW, uninitiated: the bars are from British Only. ... It is NOT spooge. I just covered up the...
I forgot about project 3. I have the centerstand for the bike, but the dealer somehow didn't have the rest of the hardware for the install. I should have it...

LOL Carl.. I can picture it now.. you won't even be able to see the CB250, just a big ball of travel gear and a guy with a crazy grin in front. :-) ... is a ...
Mock the milk crate at your peril! ;-) That baby coupled with the CB-matching LL Bean panniers gave me 95 liters of packing space without even using a tankbag....
... It's going to be a Goldwing with 87% of the engine removed, and 0% visible (hmm, tank panniers, yes!). We could call it the Honda Gelding. So, are you...
I'm going to have to do something soon for storage. A friend has a set of saddlebags, slightly melted on the bottom of one bag (due to a misinstallation by a...
LMAO! The Honda NightWing GoldHawk. Actually, NightWing has a nice ring to it. And no, it's nowhere near the horrors of an echohitch. That's just nasty. The...
I'm waiting to see you try the bars off that girl's tricycle, or maybe that Bigwheel I see in the background of one of the photos. That would be a hoot. ...
Thanks...Jon- the only reason the angle of the levers is higher is because that's the lowest I could put them without having them hit the gas tank at a full...
