  Sissybar/backrest info (from sidecar pics)
Posted by: Buffalohead_imp - 08-21-2013, 02:49 AM - Forum: Accessories/Modifications - Replies (33)

Mike looked through the J&P site until he found it. Remember, you must have the factory rack because the sissybar/backrest mounts to the rack after holes are drilled in the rack. It looks like they belong together.
The J&P info is:

Jardine Short Backrest with Pad
Part #: ZZ82052 $113.99

  An Old Man's Fond Memory
Posted by: ChipBeck_imp - 08-20-2013, 07:49 PM - Forum: Other Bikes - Replies (11)


Guth,

In the Lucas taillight thread you made mention of my 40 year old Husqvarna and asked me to post some pictures of it here in the "Other Bikes " thread. Well here you go. In 1971 I was able to trade my Honda Trail 70 for my first real motorcycle, a Honda SL100 dirtbike. I rode with my friends every weekend and competed in desert races and enduros on that bike. I was very happy with it until my buddies and I went to the theater and saw the movie "On Any Sunday". I was a sophomore in high school and that movie was the coolest thing I had ever seen but there was a downside to it. The Swedish built Husqvarna's that Malcolm Smith and Steve McQueen were riding in that flick filled all of us with lust and desire for rare and expensive machines that we couldn't afford. At least they were very expensive to high school kids. I stood in the Husqvarna dealership's showroom countless times and just stared at them. I had never wanted anything so intensely. I had to make it happen. For two summers I worked at my family's automobile dealership and saved my money to buy a Husky. But I knew that if I asked my parents permission they would say no so I had to figure out an alternate route. And they would certainly notice a shiny new Husqvarna in our garage. So as soon as I started saving for my 250WR, I went to a motorcycle shop and purchased a motorcycle cover that said "Husqvarna" on it and put it on my Honda SL100. When my dad saw it he asked me if I had a new motorcycle and I said no, then took the cover off and showed him the Honda underneath. A year and a half later I had squirreled away enough money, sold my SL100 to one of the mechanics who worked in our shop, and I purchased a brand-new 1973 Husqvarna 250WR. I took it home and put it underneath that same motorcycle cover that had been on my Honda for the last two years. Almost 2 more years went by before my parents figured out I didn't have a Honda anymore. It's easier to seek forgiveness than permission.

I kept that Husky all the way through college and after graduation I made the horrible mistake of selling it to a good friend. The bike was still in perfect condition having been maintained with the utmost care. Within six months my friend had trashed it. The new Huskies don't look anything like the amazing machines that Steve McQueen and Malcolm Smith road in "On Any Sunday" and they are not even made in Sweden anymore. I always deeply regretted selling that bike as it was as much a piece of art to me as it was a piece of sporting equipment. Over the years I looked at several vintage Husqvarna's and they were all in disappointingly poor shape. It isn't easy to find a pristine 40-year-old dirt bike.

So I decided if I wanted one I was going to have to have it built for me. The premier vintage Husqvarna restorer in the nation is Husky Restorations in New York State. I found and purchased a tired old, worn out, but complete 1973 250WR and had it re-manufactured exactly as original right down to the red nylon lock nuts. The engine and six speed transmission, cables, spokes, handlebars, Magura levers and grips, cables, etc. are all brand-new or re-manufactured to brand-new condition. The paint/chrome tank is flawless and even the frame is refinished exactly as Husky did it. Every single sticker and label is exactly as it was when the bike came from the factory. The cost of the restoration was $9000. Although the bike was built to be ridden I have no intention of ever taking it out in the desert. It sits in my entryway underneath posters of Steve McQueen riding his 1970 Husky 250 Cross in the Elsinore Grand Prix, Malcolm Smith riding his 1970 400 Cross in a motocross race, and a reproduction of the original movie poster for the movie On Any Sunday. Every time I walk by it I feel like the high school kid who stood in that Husqvarna showroom staring at that bike from every angle and dreaming of the day that I would finally take one home, just like Malcolm Smith and Steve McQueen. Once a young boy's dream, now an old man's fond memory. Cheers.

Chip

  How close do you sit to the tank?
Posted by: HikerToo_imp - 08-20-2013, 09:47 AM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (21)

Still trying to figure out this comfort thing, why some are OK and some not, why I can ride 4 hours on a solid leather bicycle seat, but get sore on the CB1100 after 45 minutes.
Maybe its where I sit on the seat, I am used to sitting close to the tank, perhaps from my dirt bike and Ninja days, when I look down, I see 1 or 2" of the black vinyl seat between me and the tank?
Is this where everyone else is sitting?
If you sit in a different position, please respond how much space and if the seat feels comfortable to you.
Maybe its because I slouch too, I do not sit straight up, so the tail bone and behind get numb....
I also have long legs, short torso.

  GoPro Mount
Posted by: Michael252_imp - 08-20-2013, 04:28 AM - Forum: CB1100 Photos & Videos - Replies (10)

I mounted my GoPro to the 1100 last weekend for my first attempt at video. I mounted it between the handlebar brackets, but I think I had too many of those GoPro links/brackets in it. My video was horribly jiggly. Can maybe one of you guys post how/where you mount your GoPro on the 1100?

Thanks,
Michael

So I am still a future owner.

But I want to thank everyone that has endured my many questions pretty much about every subject that ends up coming up on these forums. I've been building an excel sheet with every little detail I want done on the bike when I get it, and how to do it. Thanks

So thanks again. Soon I start my way back to the states! Excited

Well I'm in the process of making changes to my bike, FINALLY!
I'm buying mrhonda's Yoshimura SS canister. The price was too good to pass up, and I'm bored with the sound of the stock exhaust.
Because of the expense of knee surgeries I have to wait on buying the Moriwaki canister, or what ever I decide to buy when the $$ become more plentiful. Big Grin
I tried to order the EFFIX Easy Fitting bar from webike but the silver color was out of stock. This morning I ordered the POSH handlebar and a set of their bar ends. Hopefully they will be in stock!
