| When cleaning the motor and prepping for the chrome I discovered three broken bolts on the cam towers. You can tell they've been broken for a while from the completely blackened surface of the break. I also discovered a damaged bearing in the alternator housing when we had it chroma-coated. |
| Stripping off the crust black paint for glass beading. |
| Headlight / fairing assembly looks great and will shield a Dakota Digital gauge pack. |
| I've built Lou a custom street-fighter CBX. The first thing on my list was updating the suspension. The original front forks were very undersized for such a large machine. I installed an '07 M109 Suzuki front suspension, brakes and front fender that I've made dramatic cut-outs in to show the Metzler 18" front tire and PM Wheel with 13 1/2" floating rotors. I polished the front suspension and brakes as well as chroming the triple trees. I've make him a swing-arm to hold a 240 tire and Pro-One 4 piston brake caliper. I also sent all of the engine covers out to be chrome plated while I detailed the engine and replaced the oil lines with braided steel. To set off the street fighter stance, Lou brought me a set of NOS Hondaline engine cages, that I machined a slicker attachment system for. Stunt Cages ain't new! Lou decided on this awesome Powerflow exhaust system made entirely out of polished stainless steel all the way from South Africa that Ben coated with three coats of Cycle Shak Chrome Guard. Lou sent the paint out to Crazy Horse to get this sleek glossy black with true fire flames. He also chose the great looking PM Marshall wheels to accent the super stock look of his one of a kind CBX. To carry on the ultra clean stock look I used a Suzuki M109 front fairing / headlight assembly with the original turn signals front and rear. The bars are classic K & N drags mounted in Scootworks risers and a Dakota Digital gauge with a full range of information displayed. This blended perfectly with the stock fuel tank with the emblems deleted. After I re-shaped his stock CBX seat, he chose to have it engraved by RMH Custom Leather. |
