Simply beautiful! I have been considering doing exactly the same conversion to my EX, which would have the added benefit of already coming with the spoke wheels.
The only thing I would still do on yours is remove the rectangular side reflectors on the forks, since you now have the round ones further up.

I already shared them with another forum member who purchased a system and will do so with anyone else who buys a Wyvern system from our friend and sponsor, Mr. T.
FJR,
I agree with your comment about not wanting to mess with tube tires. My Road King has spoke wheels with tube tires and flats can't be plugged. I HATE tube tires and swore I'd never buy another bike that needed them. However.....your bike is so amazing and it is screaming for spoked wheels to complete it. If there is a single exception to the "no tube tires" rule, your CB is it. Well done.

Perfect
wouldn't change a thing.
The DLX is beautiful stock, this just brings that added touch to the 70's. A retro early 70's bike would bring in about 12-14K is this condition, we'll worth the $$$ for a modern 70's classic
Nice work, love the pipes. I've got a new wallpaper. My BMW had tubes but the Outex kit from Japan works perfect. I'm sure Mr. T can get them. I got mine on Ebay. My beloved gold kit is in England now, that could leave just you here, but I'm not sure?
Looks awesome, love it.
Thank you all for the comments and suggestions. If I can get spoked wheels that can be used with tubeless tires (I'm looking at some now)
I may go for it. The Dunlop tube tires for the OEM Honda spoked wheels don't seem to be available in the USA, making future replacement issues difficult and expensive.

Keep us informed on the tubeless set up, it's looking more and more like I won't be going this route after all (money) but I sure do want a set really bad, so you never know, not being able to get tubed dunlops has been holding me up too., lovin' your bike man, you must've hit the gas to hard and it propelled you back to 1969....
Awesome
