CBX Engine Guards
By
CBX-tras
I currently own 2 CBXs, a 82 Stocker and a 81 Naked. I convinced my brother Roger and a good friend Doug to buy CBXs several years ago. We all needed engine guards that were better than the used, banged-up, scratched ones that came on the bikes when we bought them.
In our quest to purchase NOS items or close to it, we always came up short. Having our existing guards refinished and re-chromed was going to be a costly experience and I figured that there must be other folks out there in the same predicament we were in.
I decided solve this problem and put my day job OEM automotive Tier 1 manufacturing skills to work and reproduce the Hondaline 2 piece guards as close to the originals as possible in order to fulfill my own needs and help out the CBX community as a whole.
However, I quickly realized there might be problems at work if it appeared there was a conflict of interest. So, 1. I couldnt use any of my regular vendors. 2. I had to do this project off-hours and 3. Find a vendor willing to do all the things necessary to fixture, fabricate, chrome and package these in small quantities.
Well, all of these issues were overcome in the course of about a year and I received my first shipment the day before Christmas 2007. Im quite pleased with the product from the first run but realized there was a little more work to be done to make an even better part.
The intent was to build a part identical to the Honda item of the late 70s early 80s. No better, no worse. Weld splatter that is the norm from a MIG welder during assembly and is evident on Hondas parts, isnt acceptable to todays market and will be addressed for future runs.
Im currently offering to CBXWorld.com members a lower price than what I sell these for on eBay and other locations. The price is $225 USD plus shipping. I use FedEx for domestic buyers at $12, international shipments will go out Parcel Post and quoted at the time of the order. Just mention you saw them on CBXWorld.com.
Send your requests to: jrluksik@wowway.com
I accept PayPal, certified funds or cash if picking up locally.
Please feel free to ask any questions directly to the email address above.
Thank you,
J.R. Luksik

AMA concerned about new threat to motorcycle safety training funds |
|
|
dkrager writes "
U.S. Transportation Secretary Mary Peters is urging Congress to allow states to divert federal money now used for motorcycle training and awareness to instead promote the use of motorcycle helmets, the American Motorcyclist Association reports.
Peters sent letters to House and Senate leaders this week asking for the change.
Ed Moreland, AMA Vice President for Government Relations, expressed concern that diverting federal motorcycle safety funds to promote helmet use could harm rider training courses and motorcycle awareness programs that are already underfunded in many states.
"Helmet use is certainly one part of a comprehensive approach to motorcycle safety," said Moreland. "But this step is a direct raid on funds that were appropriated by Congress to address the specific safety concerns of the motorcyclists rights community. Furthermore, the use of motorcycle helmets is already advocated in existing motorcycle safety initiatives.
"Funding for rider-training courses is frequently under threat in cash-strapped states, and cutting the same-size pie into thinner slices is not the comprehensive, thoughtful, national motorcycle safety strategy we need."
Moreland also expressed concern that Peters proposal could contradict sections of transportation bills passed in 1998 and 2005 that ban the use of federal motorcycle safety funds to lobby state legislatures in favor of mandatory helmet laws and could effectively reverse those bans.
The AMA strongly advocates the voluntary use of helmets by adults, along with other appropriate safety gear, and does not oppose laws requiring helmet use by minors. But the Association believes adults should be allowed to make their own decisions about when to wear a helmet.
The American Motorcyclist Association: rights. riding. racing.
Founded in 1924, the AMA is a non-profit organization with 290,000 members. The Associations purpose is to pursue, protect and promote the interests of motorcyclists, while serving the needs of its members. For more information, visit the AMA website at www.AMADirectlink.com.

driven writes "Hi all - I would just like to mention that we now have grips that are custom manufactured to our specs. They are made with an inner layer of Kraton gel to absorb vibration and help eliminate arm pump and an outer layer of PVC which protects the gel holds the shape of the grip. This is not some BS thing. They really work. Check them out at
