Pretty sure Yamiya in Japan sell these - check out the site. Postage is surprisingly cost effective for smaller items as well..

Nice ride out on the CBX yesterday before she flies the nest later this month.

The sound of these bikes on full-chat when properly setup is INSANE.

I’ve been documenting the build on the US forum Dave. I’m planning to start a tread here and backfill with all the details. Struggled to do both sites in parallel last time and just ended up missing comments / questions.

Should really have done it the other way round and posted the build here and then copied to the US site, but started over there and got a bit carried away.

Before/after pics…

Managed to get som commissioning / shakedown miles on the CB750 K2 today.

Lived every minute of it - mainly local roads initially to iron out a few issues, then a longer run out to the Jack and Jill windmill just north of Brighton.

Didn’t skip a beat - best CB750 I’ve ridden to-date.

CB750 / Internal silencer painting

I was part of the initial group buy - had to trim the header portion of the exhausts down by several mm on every pipe in order to get the rear footrest mounting bolts to line up. They were an utter pig to fit. I called Busso out very early in the process to get them to update the welding jigs, but they just ignored any feedback and ploughed on with production. Didn’t realise they are still in business and supplying DSS.

The Busso’s are double skinned (don’t ask me how I know lol). I was thinking about doing the same re. adding drain holes.

Harold - I was just about to list these on eBay as a spares set for £60. Probably more than you want to spend, but might be a good option as a spares resource - you could re-plate/replace all of the hardware over time and swap in/out on your set. Happy to do them for £50 to a forum member. The bodies are probably too corroded to be salvegable.

Would like to get Hondabond 4 but doesn't seem to be available in UK so minded to go for Threebond 1184.
