And yes, we know 2 or 3 of you are not on FB and have no plans to be. Cool, whatever works for you.
That said, I see no reason we can't come up with our own cool graphics. Our online store should be able to easily sell them worldwide. There's a huge market for American stuff in all of Asia. It would be cool to have the Honda Logo with CB1100 worked into it, with crossed American and Japanese flags below, or some such.
Your thoughts?

Our own thing would be great. Even though I don't have my CB any longer ( I do intend to get another one day ) my own thing is I don't wear a sports jersey with someone's name on it and I don't wear any other flag than my own. That's me. YMMV.

I'm a bit late with this, but I was out of town for a week and missed a lot.
Here is something I threw together. We would need a cool name to stick on there, of course

My daughter is still working on my flag for the GBT (German Butt Tour).

Now that will be sweet!

Bob, I took some liberties with your design and welcome comments.

Too many wings (3) and too many different fonts.

IMO, you have to capture a retro look and feel to the design. That means maybe copying an older patch design from a cb750 or at least one of Honda's old logos from the 60s or so. also means that I'd blow off the modern looking font that is used on the side covers. Maybe something that takes off on the tank emblem...round with the wing and including "CB1100" inside the circle or a rocker under it.
