It wouldn't be that bad if you just did a basic swap...
but in my case I started gathering parts and kept having the "while it's apart and the motors out" let's do this and that syndrome. Lol. Fun times to be had in the near future!! Can't wait!

So it's been a while since I did an update. Lot of progress has been made. Counting down the days now till I'm able to drive and enjoy this build!
Some small odds and ends are left but right now she's at a Honda shop getting her exhaust fitted and dyno tune! They said my goal whp should be easily reached at 160. Maybe they can find 165-170 in there somewhere?!? :).
Here's some gauge set up shots and motor installed, brake/clutch setup....
Headlight wiring!
Header...
Front grill done!!!
Off to the dyno/exhaust Honda shop!!
Starting to taste it!!!

A very neat build - not a fan of the 'fuel bib' though - sounds like something for incontinence!
