King Evans from Georgia with "The Gryphon". He went on to say... "This bike is so fun and fast. It's like riding a freaking explosion. Kenny and the crew at Cycle X provide the amazing customer service and tech support. They bored this bike out to 836cc and fixed all the F2 Honda issues with the head. The bike is bad ass thanks to these guys. Thanks Cycle X." You're welcome! Your Gryphon looks great!
|
Dan had some trouble with his bike and bounced around from shop to shop in Manitoba until crossing over the border and visiting us in Wisconsin. We fixed up his carbs among other things and he's got our 4 into 2 exhaust (Version #6) and some of our coils on his bike. He had this to say... "Up here in Canada, I had three shops work on my 1978 Honda CB750, to no avail. Frustrated about the lack of knowledge and can-do attitude, I packed the bike up and headed to Cycle X world headquarters. Ken made the time to investigate my series of problems. "I'm not afraid of your bike", he said. Ken fixed all of my issues including my carbs, that was the biggest headache of all. Ken in an incredibly knowledgeable guy that gets results. His team at Cycle X went above and beyond to fix my bike that runs and sounds amazing. Thanks for everything." -Dan McLeod (Manitoba, Canada) You're welcome, Dan. Great looking bike by the way!
|
Matthew from our home state of Wisconsin went all out on the holiday festivities by decking out his 72' CB750 with Christmas lights galore. (Includes flashing pattern!) Who needs a tree anyway?! Thanks for sharing!
|
|
Sean from Virginia upgraded his 76' CB750F out of a long list of our parts, including Cycle X cylinder and pistons, gaskets, speedo, tach, carbs, etc. "Thanks to you guys, the bike runs like a dream. You guys are awesome! Thank you!!!" No problem, glad to see the Cycle X touch on such a sleek looking bike! The add-ons show in big fashion!
|
Edward from Pittsburgh installed our exhaust to his blue 750 and now has the meanest machine on the road! Nice job and bike!
|
Stacy from Texas, upon getting his CB500, went to work on his first cafe racer project with a collection of our parts (most recently our 500/550 gasket set) and later on deciding to shave 65 lbs off his bike. Almost all work done to this bike was done by Stacy himself during his free time. He also added a cool feature where he can raise the tail end where he has a tool compartment stowed inside. Love the personalized hands-on approach, thanks for showing us, Stacy! |
|
Paul from Georgia just recently finished his bobber project after about four years of work, including our boxer frame, Dyna ignition, roadster shorties, Mikuni carbs, and drag bar. Real glad to have been a helping hand, Paul!
|
Noel equipped our race-cut transmissions some time ago and has been testing the meddle of his gears in a breeze since! Also includes a few of our other miscellaneous parts for the internal motor such as some of our gaskets. Looking good! "I put one of your "race-cut" transmissions in my 71' about five years ago and what a difference. I ride my bike pretty hard and have been slamming the gears at high RPM ever since we got the motor back together and on the road....well worth the investment!"
|
 Brian ordered a few things from our 500/550 page and got a bit of extra help in building as well, here's what he had to say afterwards: "Just wanted to share my bike and the parts used from you guys. It was built by Zak Bins of A.S. Custom in Candia, New Hampshire. We used your Wiseco Piston Kit as well as your race carbs and your custom manifold. She is ripper!"
|
 Joe Glass in Colorado bought our Sidefire exhaust system (our personal favorites among our exhaust collection) now having some solid clearance off the ground! Compliments the bike very well, we'd say. Thank you Joe!
|
Dennis Bazzett from Michigan got hands on with a project bike equipped with our sidewinder exhaust / longer muffler set and neck bearings and shared the process with us along the way. Thanks for sharing!
|
 Tommy Cain's trike from Illinois.
|
 Brett in Florida has upgraded his bike with a long list of our stuff over the past few years, including a 21" wheel and spoke kit, +2 tubes, front wheel mini speedo, electric kit #6, alternator block off plate with exposed charging system, etc. to get the full experience. Hope to see more added on in the future, Brett!
|
 Kalle from Finland was looking for a set of carbs and other stuff for his '77 CB500K, where it's now equipped with our 26mm CR carbs, intake manifolds, and oil filter/cooler combo. After some tech exchanges back and forth, his 500 is now more than prepared to tear it up on the road. Was a pleasure to help along the way and see Kalle's hard work pay off.
|
 We've been working alongside Neal from Oregon for his 915cc Honda, including some RS34mm carbs, our Rapid Fire exhaust, and a rebuilt motor that we did. Needless to say, everything turned out fantastic! "To all the crew at Cycle X, I could not be happier with my 915cc Hot Rod Engine rebuild. The motor has more power than I ever imaged and looks amazing. The entire experience with everyone at Cycle X was outstanding. You are the best!"
|
 Trevor from New Zealand purchased one of our 4 into 2 exhausts (Version #13), where it complimented his Hondamatic very well. "Hi. I purchased a set of exhausts some months ago for my Honda CB750A Hondamatic. I put them on last week as the final touch to the restoration. Just want to let you know how happy I am with them. They look just like the OEM pipes, fitted beautifully and sound great. Good chroming too."
|
 Rod recently ordered a Harley twin carb system from us over our eBay store for his 38 Knuckle and now has the baddest machine in all of British Columbia. He kept in touch with us after setting up the carbs. "Hello from Canada: Just want to thank you for a very fine product! When you said you could jet it close, you were right on the money. A small idle adjustment and then carb sinc. and to be honest, I don't even think that is necessary. I set the air screws for a smoothest idle I could achieve and its a first kick machine. It pulls strong when needed and it has never run this good ever with the old carb. This old 1938 runs as fine as a finely tuned Evolution and you can tell on how it lopes on deceleration. I will be altering a oval sunburst air filter so I have some leg room as it does protrude some. I machined up a longer brake pedal pad to replace the original rubber pad as it was difficult reaching that pad with my foot. And lastly those carbs look hot! I am very impressed with you and your product. Many thanks, Rod Mallett"
|
 Chris in San Antonio reached out to us after ordering the front wheel mini speedo and shared these killer pics of his Honda 550F and the mini speedo equipped on the bike. Thanks for sharing!
|
 Bill bought a bunch of parts from us to help give his sidecar an upgrade and hit the tracks shortly after.
|
 "Hello Cycle X crew. Sidefire arrived yesterday and I got it on. Great exhaust! I was impressed when I pulled it out of the box. Sounds great on my 836. Pretty tight on my lowered bike but I took it for a test ride today and right lean was fine. 18 degrees outside so it was a short ride. Thanks for the best exhaust made for the old SOHC fours." -Tim from Missouri
|
Cody from Buffalo, NY (Instagram: @cfagan85) was working around the clock to build his '79 CB750F DOHC Super Sport, now sporting our 34mm Mikuni carbs (with richer needles) and our 3 phase charging system and oil pressure gauge combo. He also shared his progress with us right before breaking in the motor and such. Eventually, he finished what would turn out to be a beautiful show bike.
|
 After applying our boxer drop seat frame, roadster longie exhaust pipes, clutch plates, and a wheel setup, Steve Rocco in New York managed to fully develop his Honda practically from the ground up. Took many months of patience and hard work, but looks great!
|
 Shoutout to Andy for equipping a bunch of our engine parts to his 970cc build and taking it to the road in style.
|
 Here's a nice showbike from Jameson with our oil tank, pipes, and a bunch of motor stuff that he built for the One Moto Show in his hometown of Portland.
|
Patrick from France purchased a lot from us over the past two years, including a CX-3 cam, a cryo treated transmission, Wiseco pistons, etc. and took it all to the tracks in one of his recent sidecar runs where he took 2nd in his first race with our parts. We wouldn't be surprised if we saw some 1st place finishes in his near future.

"Just want to say how impressed I was with your operation and your quality of work. Being a construction equipment mechanic myself I know what I'm looking at. There are so many guys out there trying to do what you're doing but don't even come close. Most of the time when I pass through your area it's after hours and you are closed. Next time I come through and you're there I'd like to stop and say hello and see what's up. Thanks."

Glen Noseworthy from Canada has spent a lot of time and money with us for an awesome end result in four (!) of his bikes, with a good chunk of parts coming directly from us. (Including one of the motors!) All look super sharp! His most recent project being his Lucky 13 bike with stellar cobweb wheels and barbed wire art. Thanks for showing us your hard work, Glen!

We've had a lot of followers over the past 20+ years, but one long-time customer took it to the next level and carries the Cycle X name in ink! Scotty Crane has been doing business with us for a long time and is considered our #1 customer. The tattoos have earned him props and recognition from everyone in the shop. Thanks for all the years, Scotty!

Bledar bought our 4 into 4 CR Replica exhausts and loved the touch it added to his bike.
"Just wanted to thank you for the great craftsmanship you did.
Bought the exhaust from you guys and they fit better than the originals, and forget it about the sound! Rrrrrrrr. Thank you."
-Bledar Noka (Bronx, New York)
King Evans from Georgia had this to say about our F2 services after he finished his Gryphon...
"Kenny and the crew at Cycle X provide the amazing customer service and tech support. They bored this bike out to 836cc and fixed all the F2 Honda issues with the head.
The bike is bad a$$ thanks to these guys. Thanks Cycle X."
No problem. ;)
“I used to have to adjust my Yamaha motorcycle chain after the first run because it would stretch. After cryo-treatment, the chains don't stretch at all, and the treatment also keeps cam chains from breaking. I haven't broken a chain since I started cryo-treating all of my parts.”
- Customer of Cryotreatment
"This is the BADDEST site Ive ever
seen for chopped 750's! Period. I've
got a custom '71 cd 750 kI. Frame neck was chopped and rake increase.
Harley tail on the back. Big bore Kit. Custom "coffin" tank.
I found your
site when I was ordering some new jets for my carbs from Eric at Sudco.
This motor is gonna rip. And with your help over some time I'm gonna get
this thing rippin' freaky style. My dad custom built this bike in the
70's.
He's moved on to bigger and better bikes and gave it to me as a project
bike. With your help in the future, I hope to mix your new "old
school"
ideas with his old school style. I'm going to send some pics soon from a
digital camera. I hope you like the drag bars, chromed railroad spikes
foot
rests and the CROSS-OVER PIPES. I never see these style pipes...EVER.
They sound BAD! I'm so stoked to get this bike rejetted, repainted this
winter, and then accessorized over time by your outfit.
You guys got wicked bikes on your site. Old school rules!"
Thanks Matt!

"The CYCLE X RAPID FIRE EXHAUST in my opinion is a quality made product made here in the good old USA, I am amazed how clean and well built this pipe is. If you are tired of rusty chrome peeling garbage then this is the pipe for you! Well worth the price. I didn't go wrong."
-Michael (Valparaiso, Indiana)
"THE VELOCITY AND SOUND THE CYCLE X RAPID FIRE EXHAUST EMITS REMINDS ME OF THE CHICAGO TYPEWRITER (THOMPSON SUBMACHINE GUN). ITS SLEEK APPEARANCE AND PRECISION BENDS GIVE IT AN AGGRESSIVE STYLING THAT PUTS IT AT THE TOP OF IT'S CLASS. ACCOMPANIED BY UNRIVALED PERFORMANCE THROUGHOUT THE POWER BAND AND HORSEPOWER GAINS YOU CAN FEEL!!!"
-BIG TONY (Chicago, Illinois)
I think we have tried every exhaust system made for the Hondas as the years have gone by. Seems like every exhaust system has about the same performance or sometimes less than expected. Not the Rapid fire system. This system has noticeable performance gains the minute it was bolted on. Thanks Cycle X.
-Ralph (Pratt, Kansas)
My fiancé wanted a diamond ring for Christmas and I wanted a Rapid fire exhaust system. After seeing and hearing the Rapid fire exhaust, I should have NOT gone to Jared's.
-Caleb (Amarillo, Texas)
"The clean cut difference is noticeable right out of the gate. Nice rumble, and having solid clearance for sure helps too. This is the kind of exhaust that, if you're not using it yourself, you're missing out. Great stuff!"
-Anthony (Fort Dodge, Iowa)
"My name is Zach, I'm the guy from San Diego, CA that called you a couple times about the rapid fire exhaust. I finally saw it up on the website and bought it. I put it on last weekend and man does it scream! It's like a modern sport bike and a vintage Ferrari had a baby, and that baby is the RF exhaust."
-Zach (San Diego, California)
"Sadly, I had to sell my beloved CB750 F1 a couple of years ago, but your emails and information keep my engine running, you can't even imagine the smile you draw in my face every time I see what you are working on. Many many thanks!! When you do a job with passion and love, it becomes art."
-Italo (Coquimbo, Chile)
Doug from Ohio was instantly impressed with our 4 into 2 system! (Version #7)
"The system sounds awesome! The 4 into 2 sounds so much better! Lost the modern era rice rocket sound and replaced it with the great dual note."
-Doug Nash (Blue Ash, Ohio)

"The Cycle X Carb system is the best new product developed in 30 years. Simple, dialed in and priced right. We wouldn’t even consider anything else."
Jeff Zeller, Custom Choppers Inc. (Boulder Junction, Wisconsin)
"The Cycle X manifolds with Mikuni carbs are better than any of these modifications (Individually or collectively) Velocity stacks, straight pipes, cam, larger pistons. They're easy to install and the quickest way to get massive horsepower gains."
Rick Hoover (Saint Charles, Missouri)
"Ken's carb system has it all. Price, looks and function. I will never rebuild another set of Honda carbs again. Too much time and money when this new system looks cooler and out performs those old carbs. I couldn't be happier."
Conrad Hoover (Saint Charles, Missouri)
"It's nothing but the best and the service is even better. I would like to tell everyone out there that I know nothing compares. If some of you die-hard 750 owners would buy them. You will not be sorry. THEY'RE KICK ASS!"
Raymond Cawley (New York City, New York)
"These carbs and manifolds are nothing but the best! The service you get from Ken is even better. There is nothing I know that compares. If you are thinking of buying them, don't hesitate. You will not be sorry. The performance is truly real and not hype."
Stacey Glenn Barnard (Bainbridge, New York)
"The difference between Ken's Carbs and stock is UNBELIEVABLE! This motor has never run this well since I first put it together!"
Cliff Watkins (Irving, Texas)
