tighten the hose.. so far so good.. seems like a loose hose problem.. anyway.. just received letter from LTA.. i'm the 3rd owner.. lol

 

Checked out the price to do the front end conversion.. all in all ard 2k.. quite ok i think ^^

 

U talking about trim conversion? In any case if its the double brake disk dont waste save your money for good pads and tyres man and steel braid hoses

[Kuro_Tenshi]

no la.. it's the 16 inch wheel that i wanna swap out. hard to find tires..

[Kman]

Oh yah must order in advance i am using avon for the front its good popular in uk

[Kman]

whao. nice bro. anyway whats the baffles? how does it affect engine performance?

[Kman]

Baffles are wat makes the exhaust soft now more air comes out better pick up not sure if leagal though surprisingly not very loud also.

haha. i love the stock exhaust placing and outlook, really stand out from the crowd. if u worry then dun let them c the right side of the bike wher the exhaust is

[Wayang]

yup, the CBR 900 RR year 1993 to 1999, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_CBR900RR

 

can check out ebay and stuff for it, cos many people swap out of the 16" size

 

but bro since u changing the front end, u can aim to try conversion to the more common 17" size, i read in UK forums that many chose to do away with the hornet 250's 16" front because it made the corner entries too divey and aggressive. ALSO more imptantly iMHO, cheaper and wider selections of tyres!!! the hornet 250 owner's nightmare!

 

hmm but not sure about mounting the calipers on the forks, may have to swap the front forks too...

 

honestly, twin disc is super overkil!!! But respect to you for this project !

 

i a read british review where they compared the hornet with the super 4 PB 1 and the RVF400 . and they commented the braking, although single disc, is better than the cb400's .

 

nuad.. actually i felt 16in is great.. made the bike extremely flickable n fun.. tru out the years i rode it i faced no stability issues..

wat abt 'tong' (no silencer) exhaust?

i've seen many youtube vids abt H250 with aftermarket exhaust and they all sounds great but full system is exxx

[Kman]

Full system not worth it unless u not changing bike for a long while the baffle can put back one bro so dont worry when u get it it will be back . heard from heng motor they scrapped the hornet u were looking at. In any case still on the hunt for new toy still nothing within budget sigh

[paradox00]

haha hornet is a good classy bike?

so what's ur people ride? hornet group should be organizing a meet up!

do u people agree?
