Michelin Pilot Road 3's tires

To each his own of course, but I feel the same way. I left the CB pretty much the way it came. Honda did a pretty good job with what they have done.
I added S & W crash bars, a Honda luggage rack, magnetic gas tank knee pads, and that's about it. I'll probably get a fly screen at some point.
I wouldn't mind if it made a bit more noise, but I'm not going to spend an arm and a leg just for a bit of sound or grunt. A few extra horsepower or torque wouldn't change the way I ride and enjoy this bike.

Opps, sorry for the dupe.

In particular, the CB is a very refined design, and in my view, not in any need of improvement. I wish the pipe was a little louder though. See, I've contradicted myself already!

I have to agree with you. I took the tank stickers off and made the stock muffler louder, that's it.

It's OK, popgun, you can't help it.

Hey! I said it was a dupe, not I was a dope

I'm not into modding either. I just want to add functional accessories that make the bike more useful. I also want the bike to look unique.

Remove the chrome end cover (three bolts), then cut off the exhaust tube using a Dremel or something suitable, then drill holes in the end plate. When you get the sound you like re-install the cap and you're done!
