Here we can see the installation of the Telefix Clip on bars.
Also we can see the headlamp that I want to install, but can not do it yet. The clip on bars did not allow the brackets to stay in place. Here you can see the stock headlamp next to the intended replacement. Aside from looks, there will be better ilumination.
This are the first pictures during the installation.

Picture of bike with the Telefix bars. Here we can see how I covered the chromed trim ( gauge cluster) in electrical tape. I took the chrome off the cluster and used tape to cover it. The results show, looks like factory. After all those years, that chromed plastic looked bad. Now it looks great.

Here is an asortment of gauges for CBF Hondas. I really like all of them

These two are not intended for the US market. Very cool

This is the brake lever included within the Raask kit. I was under the impression as I took the kit of it's box for pictures that my lever was missing a "tab" , the one needed for actuation on the "link" between this lever and the brake pivot.jaimesix's 1982 Honda CRX I posted pixes at the Honda CBF site in the internet requesting advise on parts included in the kit germain to having the complete kit in my hands. I did not want to engage in installation only to learn while working on it I did not have the parts needed. The picture I took initially did not show this "tab" and I was under the impression that said"tab" was a separate missing part. Fortunately I was wrong, and upon going back to the parts box I found out the "tab" was in fact present.

Thanks to Wout Vanveld from the Netherlands I was able to score the "no longer availabale" within the US market gas tank rubber mounting piece. Mine was shatered and it was a chalenge to put it in place..... jaimesix's 1982 Honda CRX.... evertytime the gas tank came off. This new rubber part, again, provided thanks to Wout Vanveld from the Netherlands will allow the petrol /gas tank to rest in its place securely and steadily.

Another late addition to my CB750F build is a "KPH/MPH" speedometer from Europe. In the US , back at the time when the CB750F was introduced in the market , the US had the infantile and ill conceived idea that by fitting large motorcycles with ludicrous "80MPH" ( about 125 kph ) speedometers, the authorities could "patronize" adults into ridding their bikes at lower speeds, creating the erroneous impression.... jaimesix's 1982 Honda CRX ....and hence actually "deceiving and missrepresenting" the consumer into believing the motorcycle could not handle any faster speeds. That problem has been taken care for with Wout Vanveld's european edition speedometer in KPH and MPH figures. Thanks Wout, this is a much coveted product for those of us who consider "patronizing" and obstreperous actions by any authority as an intrussion into our civil liberties and constitutional rights.
The oficial whom acted in such obstreperous manner should be made public and made face the ridicule he deserves.
jaimesix's 1982 Honda CRX Here a couple Honda gauges that I will install on my CB750F, a Hondaline clock and a voltmeter. Yes, many a time I wanted to keep track clocking routes, but at high speeds, no time to check a watch. I am not a watch guy, never liked to wear one, so that option is not there for me, despite the fact it is not wise to check your watch at 80+ mph. Then, the Hondaline clock comes in handy. Accuracy and swiss precision is in order. A voltmeter is excellent way to monitor the condition of the battery. Motorcycle batteries are small, and before a surprise breaks in, I can learn when the battery is having a hard time in advance. I am planning on an oil temperature and amperemeter as well.
jaimesix's 1982 Honda CRX This is a Honda CBX gauge cluster. This one comes in with a built in voltmeter. That is very cool, because it saves space. If the voltmeter is already in the cluster, then I can add an additional meter.Oil pressure gauge to complement the oil temperature meter would be excellent. The clock and the amp meter could follow. Perhaps I would relocate the clock at the center, and the voltmeter could go next to the amp meter. That would make sense.

Accel coils work great. Like in a car, good coils add power through better hotter spark. I heard Dyna coils are good too. It is a great mod on a bike, the power and swiftness gains are well worth the effort, simple, yet very efficient. Jaime.______________________________________________________
