Heck yes!! Pics would be great. Especially pics of the spacer you fabbed. I figured there had to be a universal kit that worked well on this bike and you found it. Thanks GLM!!
I measured the exhaust port on the back of the carbs and it was 54mm so those are the pods I went with. They fit pretty good. You have to make sure you have at least 2.5" of space behind the carbs to accommodate the filters. I bought them off eBay. Just search for 54mm(assuming that is your measurement as well) pod filters.
I definitely plan on going with forward controls but I haven't found any yet that are bolt on for this bike. I will probably end up having to fab them. In the mean time I think I'll just put on some highway pegs to help with the longer rides.
Emilio, the pod filters are 54mm. They fit pretty good on the intakes of the carbs. As far as the bars go, you can use any bars you want as long as you have the clearance. If you use higher bars than stock you may have to get longer clutch and brake cables as well as extend the wiring. When you say stabilizers I'm assuming your talking about the stainless steel struts. They are 11'' long. It lowered the rear end about 4". I just drew up a schematic of what I wanted and had them cut.
Actually, im working on mine right now, same bike. Got the TCBros universal kit, fabbed up some spacers with following dimensions 5" L, 1 1/16th" OD, 1/2" ID. Use the half inch stud that comes with package, pull out the bottom right/left motor mount, put these right in place, will act as both motor mount and forward contols. Will work perfect with minimal work, Im 6'4" and the position is just right... let me know if you want pics, ill PM them to you...
Hey man, bike looks great, doin a similar set up to mine. Are you going with forward controls on this? If you do im curious how you are gonna fab it up...
All you have to do to fix your air problem is just locate the blocked port where your air fule mixture screw is and knock out the plug and replace your screw.dont put the suplied plug from the new kit on so you can adjust it to where you want it.my kawasaki en450 bobber runs great now.its really easy
Hi there! Thanks for the video. Do you happen to know what the part might be called to connect the stock air filter to the 4 carbs? Can't seem to find it in a search. Thanks!
Hey man good job on your bike looking good I built an 81 Honda CB 750 bobber just like you I am picking up a 83 Honda 650 Nighthawk today for $250 what the title and I'm going to do another bobber build can you tell me what jets you put in the carburetors examiner on the pod filters and I don't feel like spending hours on the computer trying to find the right jet I need to put in Thanks
Also, what did you do with your crankcase breather box under the stock battery box and attached to the stock air box? I'm planing on a Pod Filter setup, but don't know what to do with all the shit that was on the stock air box. Thanks
i was wondering where you found those pod filters and if you would share the part number? i have the same bike and cant find them anywhere. id apreciate it kevin
What size are the front forks? I was told 32mm and 41mm, im not sure which is accurate. Thanks P.S. Gorgeous bike. Have this same model as my first bike, doing a complete cafe conversion, only problems are the seat and the gauges. Thinking of these ebay. com/itm/1970s-Ducati-NOS-150MPH-Veglia-speedometer-1610-revs-1-mile-with-4-lights-/360460373052?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item53ed1ccc3c&vxp=mtr, but i'm slightly afraid of the wiring.
Love the little details you explain. Lovin the style

I did have to get a jet kit. I installed it and have a new video where I start it and rev it some. It's running very smooth. Couldn't be happier.

Thanks mynusss! People say I talk too much but sometimes you have to to get your point across.

Thanks for the compliment by the way.
I still want to do forward controls but not sure how to fabricate it yet. I'm still looking around at other examples of what works and what doesn't.
Hey man, bike looks great, doin a similar set up to mine. Are you going with forward controls on this? If you do im curious how you are gonna fab it up...
thanks for the quick response
i just wanted to make sure i wasnt off. did you have to jet the carbs to get it to run rite?

I'm not sure of the front fork size but I can check my manual and get back to you.

Did u have to re jet carbs with those after market air filters?
What wires to you get rid of? Building a custom bike as well and am into the electrical system now and wanted to know what I can get rid of?
hi andrew can you tell me the overall size that you made the struts because i want to do the same with mine ;-)
