Greetings all. First post here.
Recently picked up a 2014 CB. My second bike after starting on a Trail 125 in 2021. To say it’s a massive upgrade in power and weight is an understatement! But it’s just a beautiful bike and has been a pleasure to ride.
Anyway, my question is an unusual one that I’ve been unable to find any real info on after some forum searching. A previous owner went down the cafe racer road with a number of modifications. One of which included removal of the side garnishes/grab handles/rear turn signal mounts. The real problem is that said owner also took the liberty of cutting off the mounting points that I believe are welded to the frame.
I’ve only been able to piece this info together from photos of bare CB frames I’ve found online, but haven’t found any photos detailed enough to reference for potentially having new mounting points fabricated.
So my ask is could anyone shoot me a few photos and/or measurements of their under seat frame and these mounting points?
Or, if anyone has encountered this situation, a workaround or alternative fix for remounting the garnishes.
I do already have a new set of garnishes and associated bolts/hardware from Partzilla.
Many thanks in advance!
The extra three cylinders helps too. Smile
