honda1

Really? You go look at it? It looks good all waxed up and sitting in my garage.

I just bought it. Seems decent. Needs a little TLC it is going to get this winter.

I have a VFR and 600f4i for the twisties. Where is that turbo "kit" available from that jb4xx mentioned? I wouldnt be apposed to it if it had good destructions!!lol

Sorry, I meant to say head porting, not cylinder. I have built so many dirt bikes it is just second nature. And I have built several CRF 4st engines, just wanting first hand knowledge on this bike. Thanks hanksxxx. The 1195 setup sounds like the direction I want to go. The turbo bird sounds awsome, but I have NO experience with turbos, but I can do the engine work. If the turbo was a bolt on kit I might look into it. Thanks for all the ideas guys!!

Well, I did see some oversized pistons. I was wondering how far you can bore the stock cylinders and how big of a piston they make. I know I dont want to stroke it. It isnt too terribly expensive to have the cylinder bored and replated. I was kinda thinking a 1200 or 1300 cc setup (or whatever they will offer/will fit) along with some cylinder porting, larger injectors (if available) and a dynojet or some other programmer. What do you guys think? Could you pull 180-190 hp out of this setup? Does anyone offer a better cam than stock? Will the stock cooling system handle that. Would it keep the reliability? Does anyone know if/where larger cc pistons and injectors are available? I know this isnt the most logical move, but I want to stick with the honda. Besides, its about fun, not logic!! lol

NOBAMA!! LOL I am not socialist!!

Yeah, thats it! I guess i just cant ride. You nailed it!! Thanks for all the help!! Now, anyone with USEFUL info?

No thanks. I like the BB.

Hey guys! I have just purchased a 99 blackbird. I had an 03 a few years ago and sold it like a dummy, so when I ran across this one I just had to get it. My question to you is this, I am looking at possibly doing some mods to this bike to get it a little closer to a stock gsxr13 or zx14 as far as pure muscle. I have seen the turbo kits, ect, and know I don't want to go that direction. I have done some searching, but havn't really come up with the answers I am looking for. I have seen some mentions of big bore kits, ect. So what are some of the more popular mods to the BB and what does it respond best to? I know exhaust, ect, but I am looking for cams, big bore info, cylinder head porting, ignition programmers, ect. Any info or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks! Chad
