I think I'm done now! Installed black side covers today and boxed up the original silver ones. My other mods are a Dart Flyscreen, Chrome gage covers, turn signals, a Tiros KO seat, and a staintune muffler. The only other thing that I would like to do would be wire spoked wheels... But those are a little pricey! So I think I have made this one mine for good...
BTW I gathered much inspiration from this forum and seeing all of your bikes and the mods that were done. Big thanks to everyone here in this community of CB riders!
Now it just needs the RLETS...
Good work. Simple. Effective.
Cheers
Sharp looking bike. It's probably just me, but the OEM mirrors look huge. But of the 4 sets of mirrors I've had on my CB, the stock ones rate at thhe top in terms of function.
Nice mods and very well done. I like it.
I'm not a fan of the stocker mirrors myself. I bent the stems on mine to move the mirror portion closer to the handlebars. Looks better but I'll be putting bar end mirrors on it soon.

I'm impressed with your bike. The black covers are tasteful and look natural with that great red color contrast. I like your small screen too. It does not detract from the bike's lovely lines or make the front end look heavy. I love the seat. That is K0 emulating the original 750 seat, I suppose. Very nice. Thanks for the pictures.
How about plugging the pair valve to tame the deceleration gurgle from the exhaust, works great?

I added Joker bar end mirrors and I like them not just for the look but they are functional as well. Good luck with yours.
