Full Version: 51K Spruce Up
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
While doing my 1st valve adjustment (vendors did prior 3) I decided that my CB1100DX deserved a spruce up after 51K miles. Items included:
1. Adjust valves - Could not have done without LakeWylieJoe Norris.
2. Refinish valve cover.
3. Refinish forks.
4. Refinish ABS rings.
5. Refinish black headlight cover and speedo-tak front covers.
6. Replace speedo-tac console cover. Had "melted spot" on it caused by windshield magnification.
7. Recovered leather seat. Corbin recovered my Chip Beck spec seat to original.
8. Touchup gas tank - Had 3 itty bitty chips & 1 itty bitty dent. Local SpeedZone Paint owner took 5 weeks, but kept all decals/badges in place and paint match was dead on.
