Mapes - I see your in Cali. This thing doesn't have pod filters, does it? (For those who have been around here a bit - even back to the old, old board days - I'm wondering if it is Stout510s old bike.) He had put a Factory stage III jet kit on it.

That hawk is great looking. Very clean! They are so trick with the single sided swing arm.

I belive we have a winner. It does have pod filters and a bunch of stickers on the front fender. The only diff I see is that front turn signals have been incorporated into the headlight brackets. Do you have a pic of the other side? The left side foot peg has been broken and rewelded and is slightly bent. I belive it's the same bike. The stickers look right and the exhaust is the same. Good to know there may be some history on the bike around here!

The story is my friend Lon bought off of someone for his "wife". In reality he was looking for a CB-1 which he finally found.

Hey - they didn't make me an Admin around here for nuthin'!!!

I'm on my way out the door so I can't go into the whole story that bike should be pretty hot if you get it tuned correctly. IIRC, Marc Slavisburg (who is a great guy) from Factory Pro set up the custom Stage III kit and tuned it himself. For a few more pics, go to bikepics.com and look through the B4s (92, I think) for Stout510 or something like that.

Nice! Love the custom stand, too!

It looks like the old board is pretty well blown up. I can't find any of Stout's old posts. Sorry. If anyone else remembers details, bring it!

Here is Stout's bikepics page. You mean the bracket is welded like this one:

So, didja get it???

Yep I sure did. However my wife lowsided it just two days ago. She's ok just bruised. The damage is minor.

Left rearset bracket
clutch lever
and blinkers

Speak of blinkers I bought some after market one and hooked them up . they light up all bright and everything it's just that they don't errr well blink. She fell on the left side. Is it possible the relay is toast. It looks like the body work took a hit right on top of the relay. The relay looks fine and the cables look ok too. Is there any thing else I should look at?

It's a pretty sweet bike....minus some small parts now.

Yesp it's the relay. What I thought was the relay was something else (above the seat lock). I just took another look and noticed this silver thing that says flasher. It has a nice half round smushed into it where it got pinched between the ground and the grab rail.

Once you get it fixed, how about an updated pic of that bad boy?

PitterB4 · « **Reply #22 on:** October 13, 2005, 06:19:14 AM »

Sorry 'bout her get off. Glad she and the bike are reasonably OK. You fixed the rough-running, I assume?

Yeah the rough running prob is pretty much sorted. I put in new plugs and sync'd the carbs. It does run pretty good when warmed up. It runs a bit rich I'm assuming thats because of the stage 3 jet kit, pod filters and race exhaust. When its cold it's a bit of an iltempered bitch. Other than that It's great.

Hey what are my rearset options? I'm not looking for full race bling stuff here just cheap and works well.

Rich? Sounds like it might be lean. I'd try backing out the fuel screws a bit.

Not really what I'd call cheap, but Wild Hair has Gimbel rearsets for the B4.

Oh yeah, the rearsets... search this forum. KillerB found some somewhere. Looked cool. I'm not sure if he sold his old ones or not. hopefully, he'll see this.
