- if you buy from an amazon link I may receive a small amount while not costing you any more to purchase.
Using this bike for commuting will be a joy.
I have some input...Your idea of concepts is great, but people want to see at least part of the work being done...like tail fabrications. There are some who would say you've taken a fine condition survivor motorcycle and screwed it up. Hey, it's your bike.
Thank you for this awesome content on a forgotten masterpiece! I bought my 03 919 in March of 2022. $3300.00 and only 13,000 miles!!! I love this bike! I plan on doing many of these upgrades and maintenance this fall when I put er up for the long Hoosier winter. My bike is blue and painted by the previous owner to match his Chevy Colorado. I would like to have it repainted back to it's original matte black. The previous owner owned the bike for 16 years and was an excellent caretaker of it. I don't think I'll ever sell this bike. The first mod I did was this summer when I replaced the stock chain and sprockets. I went with a 520 D.I.D. ZVM-X gold chain and the 17/44 sprockets to help with vibration and lowering the rpms at freeway cruising. I commute 70+ miles a day for work and 58 of it is expressway. It did make a noticeable difference. And I believe we have the same mirrors as well. They definitely give you a better view than the stock mirrors and definitely a welcome upgrade. I look forward to seeing more videos of your bike, I just subscribed. That is my favorite color of the 919! Cheers!
Hornet 900s are great doing what they do. I have 2 of them. 1) removing the P.A.I.R. makes no performnce difference at all. However, on decleration the bike sounds, sounds, like it has a rag over the exhaust - no popping - I like the crackle of the exhaust so I keep my P.A.I.R. fitted (I have Akrapovics and de-cat "Y" link pipes). 2) by going down a tooth on front sprocket your speedometer will be reading incorrectly - probably not a huge issue on speedometers with the needle, but will with digital. Speedometer is fed from the gear, not the wheel. DRD make a speed adjuster (Model H1). Inexpensive and easy to fit/program. 3) for $10 you can get a direct replacement electronic flasher relay - plug-n-play. Nice ride.
Not sure I agree with removal of engine vacuum lines and solenoids, Honda engineering is tops- nothing is there without reason. Do you know more than they do? Maybe. I believe that would be an involved discussion.
I have had my 2002 for almost 10 years. Bought as a first bike and plan on it being my only. I have ridden other bikes and liked several, but my 919 is a grin producing PIA. Won't find a more enjoyable machine.
Very profound and insightful opinion on why we ride bikes during your spin. Fantastic video and everything done tastefully in your modifications. Can't ask for more. Pat on the back well earned😊.
140MPH for just some days, part of the day
I bought mine new in 2007 for $6000 and its been great. I added a power-commander and aftermarket muffler and then installed the map to match. I also changed the front sprocket to lower the rpm on the highway. Im 6 foot and it was a little short for me. I realized later that I could raise or lower it with the spanner wrench on the back and that made a big diff. The bike is cammed to have strong low and midrange power. When it came out it was ranked as THE HONDA RACING TEAMS FAVORITE BIKE TO RIDE ON THEIR DAY OFF.
should put a belly pan
I have a 2002 919, and am interested in a led headlight. It looks as though you may have done this but the audio cut out. Was wondering what you went with.
If I wasn’t sure about this bike before, I definitely am now. Thanks dude
I was doing my due diligence in regard to this bike. After watching you're video, i'm sold! I love the mods you made, can't wait to find one!
I found this video completely by accident but I like what you did with this Honda, very tasteful and clean upgrades. Hope she is serving you well!
awesome video. I love all those upgrades. I bought my 2004 919 new off the showroom floor. I've done the 520 chain and new sprockets (down 1 front, up 1 rear), renthal bars, Pazzo Racing aluminum levers and rear fender delete. I'm replacing brake lines and spark plugs this spring and painting the tank and plastics and re-upholstering the seat. I'm buying those mirrors and bar ends and brake lines off your list now. 919 is a classic!!!!
I own one of these. Its my first bike. Love this thing. For people looking for other options for mirrors. I put cb1000r mirrors on mine. They fit nicely and dont vibrate.
This bike is like a great , faithful dog that is always happy to see you, ready to play and obedient.
Yes for the addictive meditation of presence that comes with the riding of a motorcycle, even more a great motorcycle !
Yup, another great video. Nice presentation and what a great upgrade on the 900. The bike definitely looks better now and seems to run perfect. You are absolutely going to love that bike. Maintenance is going to be literally minimal and really that bike is bulletproof. Enjoy your daily riding it's a nice look and a sweet ride.
Just bought a 2007 model and love the build you did!! Hoping to replicate the same...I agree, this a very fun bike to ride!
I have the same bike and have refreshed it like you. Great bike
