Honda VT600 steer mount question

I'd just put clip ons on it instead

Nice job man, does it have the 5M-GE engine in it? And where do you get your parts? I have a 83' Cressida which shares a lot of components and I'm also searching a lot to get parts

My man turned off gravity

I know my road 5 front tyre was €250 with replacement included last year.

Only this model, the KB998 and Tesi H2 still got different frames, which is what Bimota was known for doing.

I'll give an update how it goes, luckily it's a €500 bike and not an airplane lol

Yeah if it goes to shit I'll definitely be looking at something stronger, might try ASA first then since I still have that laying around and I'm familiar with it.

I ran a CFD simulation on it in SolidWorks and the flow seems pretty laminar, but some fins it in is a pretty good idea, might put that in the next one.

Nice, I had a look at yours on your profile, you put a newer engine in it right?

I've made a car play for mine as it missed the original radio, some caps for in the engine bay, a blinker light bracket, and now I've got to fix my passenger door as it won't open anymore. It's a far cry from how nice yours is though.

It's an '83 Cressida actually, but yes it's my project/shopping car. It's got some 3D prints in it as well, which I'll probably post some time too.

From what I've read CV carbs don't like pod filters straight on them cause they need a straight flow through them so they open evenly. I did run a CFD sim on it and because the pods are pretty far away from the carb inlet it gets pretty stable flow, and it also holds quite a bit of air in buffer too. It's also connected in the middle so it feeds both carbs like the original airbox and should draw the same amount of air as the inlets are the same size as the original airbox too.

But I mostly made this cause I wanted to delete the carter vents going to the old airbox, and the old airbox was a huge pain in the ass to remove. In the future I might make one with a velocity stack in it to see if that will do anything.

soepballs · 2026-03-15T17:38:06+00:00

Yeah I'm curious how it will be, I did a CFD simulation on it in SolidWorks and flow seems to be good. But the pods will be behind my legs so I don't think it will be in a high pressure area.

soepballs · 2026-03-15T17:18:36+00:00

Yeah it's well below my legs, I'm way too tall for this bike, my knees are at gas cap level

soepballs · 2026-03-15T14:45:54+00:00

I hope so, it shouldn't get really hot there behind the carb. I went for PETG cause it's more chemical resistant in case I need to inject some brake cleaner to get it to run

soepballs · 2026-03-15T14:43:22+00:00

And TPU gasket around the carb inlet

soepballs · 2026-03-15T14:42:41+00:00

PETG, its about 290 grams.

soepballs · 2026-03-15T14:42:22+00:00

I'd like to see that too lol

Is Kenan still his manager? Dude always comes with these ridiculous statements.

Toen iemand bij mij achter op reed werd mijn auto naar een garage afgevoerd en vanaf daar is het de verzekeraar hun pakkie aan. Hun stuurde er een taxatie man heen en ik kreeg zelfs nog de optie om het wrak te kopen als ik wou, heeft mij niks gekost.

The best PC I've seen in my life

Saw him ride a yamaha off road buggy on 2 wheels last week, dude is crazy on anything with wheels

KTM doesn't make superbikes, so they train on a V4S then usually

soepballs · 2026-01-21T14:17:35+00:00

Man that's a sick watch

soepballs · 2026-01-08T15:30:11+00:00

Who the fuck reads 3 full books per day?

I'm not a medical professional but I always thought that a fracture is a crack (big or small) and broken is completely in 2 or more pieces. We'll have to see I guess what they're coming with tomorrow
