Something like this. Thoughts?

Looks good. Maybe get the chrome ring around the headlight bucket painted that old gold / brownish color as well?
I love the balance of black-silver-chrome, and the tank lines. Looks very elegant.
Well- that's not my bike- just a google image to have a rough idea.

Here is my bike as it sits now-

Reminds me of the GB 500
Your bike is one of the coolest CB1100's out there, 'Dubs. I love the looks of it!

Re: the tank decoration concept. What aesthetic are you going for with it? It looks tasteful, but somehow the plain black tank already seems perfect. Maybe I would say just the retro HONDA lettering and call it done?
Idea came from a CB360 actually- but I can see the GB vibe as well.

I like the early 80’s CB custom look, but don’t want painted wings, and nobody makes nice accurate metal wing reproductions that I can find.

Ugg. There's that image, again.
