The CB1100 Community Forum

I used to be able to post a pic to a forum from imgur but it ain't working like it used to
this is it. sorry.


I have a corbin gunfighter seat to put on it. Nice look but uncomfortable as he**.-shorter bars don't help. Probably only ride it to a vintage rally or two. Its running on points at the moment.
I have a C5 ignition to go in once it appears to be running as it should. If all good I might set it up to take longer rides. It took way too long to get it to this point though.
Still need to sort either a bad spark plug or a carb issue on #4. Runs great on 3 cylinders
Pulling / installing the carbs on these is so not fun...

tank cleaned and coated.
SS brake lines
upgraded regulator.
all led's except the headlight (I need an option). They all work - that took awhile too.
harley dyna mufflers
carbs rebuilt
alum bits polished


Its not mint - but it fine for me.

I had the Honda decals made. Its got maybe 10 coats of clear.
Painting is/was my nemesis - at least the way I do things.
my basic method was use duplicolor and then coat with a two part K2 clear I found in
an aerosol. Spraymax is the brand. Just like regular automotive, gas resistant clear.

and thanks for sharing, pic works good for me, here you go:

That is big el duque.

I suppose the bike has much of your soul.

Look at that shaft.

You're not posting a direct link to the image, your posting an image link, which is why it doesn't show up in the post (works if you click on it). A direct link to the image will have a graphic type extension like .jpg or .png

When I use Imgur I pick the "direct link" instead of "image link", then use the "insert image" icon when posting. Alternatively, you could click on Imgur's "BBCode" link and paste the result directly into your post.

BTW, that Goldwing is a real beauty. I love the early naked 1000s.

It looks stunning.

Beautiful!

Thanks Guys!

And thanks Flynrider - i will try again.

Love that Norton font!! Bike looks cleeeeeaaan too.
