    your thoughts....

    So..... I have been thinking about straight piping. I have a 78 Honda CB400a. I'm thinking about just removing the mufflers. Leaving the cross pipes alone. Also running tubing all the way to the back and adding fishtail tips? Thoughts? I know the pros and cons. But I still want to know your...

    78 Honda CB400a Trunk Brackets

    I didnt want to remove the OEM grab bar. So the bags sit a little too far apart. I wasnt able to use the saddle bag bracket to hold the trunk bracket. All this can be resolved if i remove the OEM grab bar. Then Id have to either weld, or drill a hole into the rear of the frame a few inches...

    Go Pro mounting ideas

    I know I'm a little late. BUT, I did just join. I have the a knock of version of the GoPro that uses the same mounts as a GoPro. And honestly, records just as smoothly. If anything it records better than my dash cam. Anyway, I have a helmet mount were I mount it to the left side of the right...
