What did you do to your bike today

Posted: Wed Jan 23, 2019 5:24 pm

Wait, did I misunderstand? Are the new boots Longer than the old, or Shorter?

Thanks DJ after comparing them it's obvious there knockoffs. .these people are thieves www.z1enterprises.com they charged me like oem 93$ with shipping. To send garbage parts already contacted them i want my money back fucking thieves.

Check how they don't even align at the seam the boot to the right. Fucking trash

Agree they are not correct, but the labels look legit to me. Were the baggies still heat seam sealed, or were they stapled shut. Are they ALL bogus, or just the one? It is possible that Z1 themselves got scammed by either an unscrupulous supplier, or a customer that ordered the part, kept the real one, and put the bogus one back in the bag for a refund. Talk to Z1 (nicely), I am sure they will make it right. I have bought lots of stuff from them and never a problem.

The new boot #1 is slightly shorter .I only taken off#1 .so far and encountered this problem the rest 2,3,4 are still the old boots.

No matter which way I turn the boot it leaves gap up top. If you look closely .you can see that boot 1 .and 2 don't align that's why the gap

They all look cheap with the thinner flanges than oem. The alignment guides barely there. Steve.DJ says they look knockoff text. I'll compare now i have plenty oem parts laying around. Yes they were heat sealed. I have a machine anybody can do that. Lol it would be pretty sad to know that they doing so knowingly. I've ordered plenty from dime city cycles and randakk which is top of the market for our bikes .I donno man I really don't I sent them a few emails they haven't responded back since 1130 . I was nice I told them I just want my refund today and to send a return slip .I'm super pissed tho more time wasted on dumb shit

If you replace all 4 at once, you may have luck and they'll all fit right. They are all slightly shorter in length than the originals, but should still get the job done

This is the correct text style on the packaging for an actual HONDA part. At least that is how every HONDA part looks when I've gotten them at dealers or NOS online.

Posted: Wed Jan 23, 2019 6:10 pm

Thanks DJ. So that aint oem then if there shorter. but I'll try it. If not I'll be completely bootless till some oem ones come in who knows when.

Posted: Wed Jan 23, 2019 6:24 pm

The one on the right is the new packaging that came for the boots the 1 on the left is oem parts I have in the bin

Posted: Wed Jan 23, 2019 7:54 pm

DJ thanks again I did it slight gap but no leak I can live with it I replaced them all

I had my new tires installed today.way to cold to do a bearing job and or paint outside but i def needed tires so I had to drop it off at a shop. Michelin commander ii front and back

Registered the CB750F, tagged, and started liability insurance on it. As soon as mirrors and horn arrive it will be legal and I can take it beyond the adjacent subdivision.

Front wheel off the GL1800 and in the truck to get the new front 'stone that came today mounted.

Posted: Tue Jan 29, 2019 1:01 pm

Hey pidjones u riding ?? Got a new dual zone heated controller the other 1 failed . I wanted to pull the wheels myself but it's way 2 cold to work outside. the cosmetics are gonna have to wait.

Posted: Wed Jan 30, 2019 12:30 am

Not right now. Getting over a cold and we had a front come through. Did get in to get the tire mounted today. Will mount the front wheel tomorrow after putting balancing beads in it. Even our heated basement garage was cold today. I use LED controllers for my Gerbing gloves and jacket liner. <$10 each and work great. My Gerbing dual unit ($$$$$) fried a couple years ago. I don't plan to ride the 750 in cold weather. Not enough electrical power to handle the heated gear.

Posted: Wed Jan 30, 2019 12:35 am

There's a high output stator that pumps out 20% more power than stock for the900 I donno about the750

G'day Fellas.
Still waiting for the 1100 barrels to be bored. Turned my attention to my clubs bike show trophys. I knock them up each year with parts I have or steal from other members. Took about a week on and off, probably 15 hours total. You'll recognize the 1/2 pistons, Three 1135 Wiseco's and a std Honda. Pick which one is for the "Ladies Bike"
Cheers

Super cool trophies muskrat .no riding today we got snow and ice its 3 degrees feels like -15 degrees Farenheit lolz

I did a Motul full synthetic oil change with a k&n filter. Few days ago added my new dual zone heated controller.waiting on a new modular helmet to come in today. The bell revolver evo modular is total trash so loud u can't even hear the exhuast at 70 ...plus it whistles when you turn your head extremely loud high pitch. Oh and going 70 mph in windy conditions feels like a sand bag my neck was killing me. I wear L took a XL jaw bone killing me tooo. Don't buy this crap if u looking into a modular

I got the throttle cables for my mikuni carb. I made a custom pull cable . For peace of mind .i'm changing them. I actually found the cables specific for these carbs. Has a barrel adjustment on both cables

Installed a new speedo cable mine snapped. And installed a new ignition switch

Added new sintered brake pads. waiting on ss lines and a hayabusa master cylinder .I had to drill out a caliper bolt that snapped during torquing. How? I don't have a clue because it wasn't even torqued yet. Also added new plugs. I kinda forgot to space them to .035 for the accel coils .

Posted: Sat Feb 23, 2019 4:28 am

I got my front ss brake lines in today. The sintered pads were a big difference to the organic pads . I'm just waiting on a hayabusa mc I ordered to put it all on. Spring weather is coming soooon. I put a helmet lock so no more lugging the helmet around I'll post it tomorrow

I installed a new headlight this morning 5 3/4 led. Its 30 felt like 18 I put about 80 or so today heated gear on full blast coming home. I made the mistake of buying a headlight bucket that was pplastic it completely snapped off. I got my money back though lol. Upgraded to a metal housing with a glass headlight 5 3/4 looks great I had a 7 inch before. It claims 4000lm in high beam 3200lm ...in low beam it wasnt dark yet but I could see it lighting up signs a good distance away. Has turn signals but no drl i'm cool with that . This was for harley baught a different bucket did some soldering done. Looks awesome. I'm hoping its bright enough I think it might be I might install a 6 inch led light bar on top of the honda badge for extra light .there's a lot of places on the hw with the lights out .super dangerous

Rode the CB750F about 60 miles over Norris dam. Ran great! Rides rough and with a lot more vibration than I'm used to with GoldWings. Then, I took the GL1800 over the same route to check out new front tire and GPS.

Finally found a decent hose configuration that accommodates a fuel filter. If anyone is wondering, I got it off eBay. A bit pricey in my opinion but it sure as hell beats the way straight lines handle the filter. It comes with a mix of angles, I used the 45° from the petcock to filter and the 90° from filter to carbs. If anyone knows of a better or cheaper method, I am all ears!

Posted: Thu Feb 28, 2019 4:39 am

Pretty cool and clean i like .i'm using some barbed brass T fittings I have 2 petcocks Because of the custom tank also running 2 filters.. .but this is the way nice and clean. Good find. Waiting on my hayabusa mc to do my ss lines . More to come

Posted: Thu Feb 28, 2019 7:31 pm

G'day fellas.
Chasing an oil leak. Finally found the tab under the cooler is the culprit. Will put the smaller 900 cooler on till I can fix or replace the 1100.
Cheers

There it is I also got. 8 inch led bar going recessed under the headlight mounted to the forks

Posted: Sun Mar 03, 2019 3:43 am
