Hi all. I joined the site a couple of months ago after I bought my first bike, a 1980 Honda CB750C in maroon. Thanks to the mods for keeping the site up, the information here has been really helpful.
I'll post some pics soon. |

Thanks!
Here is a recent image after installing a new Cycle X exhaust system. I had to modify the kickstand and centerstand but it was worth it. Sounds and looks good. I replaced an older black aftermarket 4 into 1.
Picture is here:

Welcome to the site. How do you like the exhaust system. Easy fit up? How does it sound ? Is it loud? |

Thanks. I love the exhaust system. It was not that easy. Took some doing to get it right. It sounds good. It is medium loud when you give it gas. Idle is not quiet but bearable. It does sound really nice cruising at 60-70 mph. |
