Definitely not worthwhile.
Although it would be interesting to compare dyno results between the
two, it's doubtful there's much difference.
If it's performance you're looking for, you could probly find it by
doing a jet kit install, or even the el cheapo Radio Shack carb jet
washer mod, for a
The professor was incorrect. Further research indicates they changed
the stroke but not the bore, resulting in displacement of 696 cc.
Still not worth messin' with.

They are probably the standard 7/8 diameter. If so any bike shop or website
sells them.

ok this might be a stupid question but where is the reserve tank? how to i
switch to the reserve ??
i haven't been riding much and so far it looks like im getting 30mpg which
is not wut you guys are getting but like i said thats just an estimate...
i just filled her up and we'll c how much miles
you are right, i guess its just a mental thing
ye i really like the bike, and the way i ride it, it should last me for a
while,
just got to get them pipes polished and took care of some rust and fix the
gas tank, it has a dent in it... :(
On Thu, May 12, 2011 at 9:00 AM, Allen Thomas
Ah, the mysterious reserve tank question again. There isn't really a
separate tank, honda just put two pickups in the one tank. One his higher
than the other so when the level drops below the main pickup you run out of
fuel. When you switch to reserve it starts slurping off the bottom of the
tank.

The ones I have seen either are non removable or are held in with clips. If
yours uses clips then you will need to drill 2 holes in the new bars.

So until this thread popped up, I was always jealous of the 700S owners - They
have the super cool black exhaust pipes, and an S in their name... (assuming
it meant 'sport')...
I'd get a 700S and assume that no one else knew the difference :)
