    Cool, are you gonna run the exhaust in the bike position? Might be a good idea to try and tuck them up and have it wrap around the engine, unless you have no rocks where you are.

    the only problem i see is the stock exhaust goes under the frame,and will be in a bad position for damage from logs and rocks.

    Damn, that is evil. Those Fours make good power and can be melted into a lot of ingots when they blow up. I had a blown CB550 motor and put it in my fire pit with a turbo fan on it and made my own Aluminum ingots. Used the sleeves on my shop press . How much clearance is there for the carbs??? are you running CV or roundslide linkage crabs?

    Are you gonna get up and burn an X in your head?

    Well I got the frame figured out today and set the motor on for a few minutes to see what all mods are gonna have to be done. 3wheelmecca I am using linkage carbs. As for exhaust i am not real sure what is going to happen yet. This is just a temp picture but thought i would post to keep everyone kinda updated. The only real big problem i have found so far is the kickstarter is going to hit the fenders.

    I had a cb360 350x that someone cut a notch in the fender... don't do that! better easy way is to start it then put the fenders on

    Outstanding!
    Just use the electric starter. Take fenders off if you have to kick it.
