See the problem with this motorcycle is, nobody nowadays likes it for what it is. A cruiser. It looks like 1980s boiled down into a bike that some Honda designer created while drunk on sake with a room full of Goldwing and CB750 parts. The fact that every single time I google CB900C its followed by "cafe" or "project", kills me lmao Why in gods name would any sane person, take a motorcycle that already is 40 years old, 600 freakin pounds, take off 30 - 60lbs of that in plastics and fairings and call it a CAFE RACERRRRR. It is not a fast motorcycle, it is not a light motorcycle, you are dressing it up to be something it can never be. Cafes are fast, light, they have angles and they have basic fundamentals that when broken stand out like a red flag. "I have no idea what I am doing.." is what that flag reads every time I see "cafe racer cb900c" in a youtube title, or a forum post. It's the calling card of a dude who bought a motorcycle off either: A.) Biker grandpa 'who definitely didn't ham-fist that inline 4 carb, what are you talkin about' B.) Some guy who also bought it stupidly, thinking he was going to chop it up, cafe it out or bobber it, and found out it's the heaviest, slowest, loudest, most unpractically made Honda CB ever made. And I bet that B guy probably googled "how to change a motorcycle shaft drive to chain" about 1000 times after buying something he knew he didn't want, but got anyway cause "it's got two wheels and handlebars" All jokes aside. This bike is actually a conversation piece, 10 speed transmission, parts bin special.. I have two. I hate to see them cafe'd out. Because 90% of people who do it, don't do it right. Because it is actually very expensive and not at all worth it to completely build a new motorcycle from the ground up. Which is what you would need to do, for that 'cafe racer sized hole in the driveway for all my money to fall into' mission.

Amazon! Yeah the price was somewhere around there. I think the forks on an 80 are different than an ‘81 so be sure to measure the diameter first

Do you happen to know what jetting they put in the bike? What elevation are you at? I have Murray’s on my CB750F but they are running extremely rich, trying to figure out why. I sent them back and they said everything is fine. I’m kinda baffled to be honest, I guess I have to throw some smaller jets in and see how it runs.

Congratulations on finishing your build! can Share some of the information that helped you get the carburetor tuned with the pod filters. Have you thought about an engine rebuild with performance parts to get more horse power? If so please share some of those ideas also.
@Lexdrifts4 жыл бұрын
Thanks! Honestly the bike has enough power as it is to keep me happy, especially with the reduction in weight, so I haven’t really considered adding more. I don’t race or anything, just enjoy the ride. As far as carbs working with the filters, I can’t tell you that it runs any better than stock but it runs good. I deleted the automatic fuel valve, 75# primary and 105# secondary jets, idle needle 2-2.25 turns out, and ensure the pods don’t block the rectangular opening at the top of the air inlet, but plug the circular inlet with a rubber plug. Also, the rebuild kit I purchased had a slightly longer and thicker needle, so I installed those. Hope that helps!
