Honda 919 Dual Sport Beast - Page 4

XR900R dual sport progress report......

I'm in the process of replacing these

With something that's starting life, like these

I'm replacing the stock guages with these

I'm strengthening this

With a bunch of stuff that looks like this

I'm replacing the stock pegs with these

Which will be extended to look like these

I've got a good friend turning both of these into one that's a bit longer

I'm taking pieces and chunks of these

And these

And a muffler design very similar to this

Which will eventually look something like this

I'm making shiny, new brake lines using these

That same good friend is modifying this

And this

So I can eliminate the oil cooler and run one of these

I'm going to chop up these to make one longer one

I'm building a few of these to cover those very expensive calipers

I built this from various parts of four other Showa shock models

And I had to "add" this to get the KTM triple trees to fit

Oh good. So, you're almost done, then?

This guy has to be single, or has a kick ass old lady...... I like both ideas, this one & the night hawk look pretty cool.

Kleenex lots of Kleenex I just get too excited thinking about this you rule now add a spare gas tank from the trail 90 ct 110 bike for looks some cbr cheese grader holes to make it fast etc what can I say awesome.

Some awesome ideas there, Byrdman!! I was thinking of doing the same thing with the muffler on my Baja Bandit, with 16"s of ground clearance it'd be nice to just stick a muffler under there like a Buell and clean up the side of the bike. I've got an old Flowmaster that looks to be a good fit.

Great project! Good luck on the parts! Whereb areb you going to run this beast once it is complete?

do you really want hard lines on that oil filter relocation anyway? Your not worried about vibration weakening of the metal line?

IMO the hard lines should workmout fine where he is using them.

I luv these kinda' project's. Human ingenuity, there's nothing

Consider in your planning that the under sump exhaust will mean an under water exhaust in creek crossings. Otherwise, this is a cool project
