MXBonz makes a retro kit for earlier Hondas. Perhaps you could copy their kit. Need to relocate the cdi.

Thanks man that's what I was thinking would have to find a safe place for the cdi ...I'm still hoping someone can post a pic of ride engineerings rmz 450 adaptor it has a funky shape almost looks like it mounts in front of the cdi box but then again I can't find a pic if the rmz 450 head tube to really tell How it would mount

Ride engineering also has a really cool adaptor they made for the ktm's but having someone make something similar would be a lot of cash I think

Yeah I was going to say Ride Engineering would be a great place to start. Great products and people over there!

The Honda HSPD is pretty much worthless until you have it revalved. Then it works as Honda intended it to. Until then you'll notice virtually no difference with it on or off.

Well, it depends on what you think Honda intended. It wasn't added for high-speed stability assistance, as it was actually intended to help in cornering.

I hear you. I had FC revalve mine, and it works great now. Corners better & better straight line stability. Best $100 I've spent on the bike.
