    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

  • In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.

Thought I'd share my recent project that is just finishing up for my client in New Zealand. It's actually based on a 1983 Honda CB1100F.

Enjoy!















 
Just some more info:

This Honda CB1100RD, which is based on a 1983 Honda CB1100F, was built by db Customs for its customer in New Zealand. It features ?hlins USA suspension, Brembo brakes (front rotors, calipers, front RSC brake, and levers), SCULPTURE triple clamps, Keihin 39mm FCR flat slides, Dynatek Electronics 2000 Ignition with ACCEL Performance Group custom cut and fitted 8mm spiral core wires, Oz Racing wheels, Vince and Hyde (Brent Hyde) components (curved cam chain guide, rear chain tensioner, and race cam chains), oversized oil pickup, EBC clutch with Barnett springs, Jaygui-racing exhaust (Harrie van Limbeek), Nitro Racing rearsets and front carbon fiber fender, modified GSXR swinger (courtesy of JES BUILT Motorcycles), Supersprox rear sprocket and custom 9mm offset front sprocket, EK Chain - USA 530 chain, custom paint by Sketchs Ink (no decals, all paint!), Michelin PilotPower 2CT's, Spiegler Performance Parts brake lines and LSL clip-ons, and Koso Gauge. The engine is stock displacement with degreed cams. The bodywork, with the exception of the tank (which started out with several dents), is all aftermarket. No CB1100R was harmed in the making of this amazing restomod. The white paint used is actually from a Cadillac Escalade. The blue is based on the color from the CB1100RC, as felt it looked better than that used on the RD.​

This is what caught my eye. What a great item, seems as though all chain driven bikes should have a rear tensioner.

Also, beautiful workmanship there. Your customer should be happy with the results.

The Honda has a spring loaded cam chain rear tensioner with no preload adjustment. The Vince and Hyde Racing rear tensioner unit that replaces it, is a manual tensioner.
 
Very nice. Great attention to detail. The rear shocks cost more than all my bikes combined though :(

I had to look it up...I thought you were referring to Vance & Hines. My bad. Gorgeous bike!
 
Is that Hyde related to Norman Hyde? I have a Norman Hyde front brake and fork brace on one of my Commandos.
