What is the the best way to clean the gas tank? I do not want to use mild soap and have it all wash down on the engine. My plan is to use a soapy sponge and rinse. Does anyone have a better suggestion?

I have been putting gas in motorcycles for years and on my CB1100 I have overfilled it two times already! I go slow, but in the end it just goes everywhere. What is up with this picture? Any one else want to confess that they have also done it too? Thanks.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Heb. 11:1

Deb talked me into parking my new baby long enough to take her two 1978 CX500's out for some exercise tonight... Was fun but can't wait for the next spin on my new toy!

I really couldnt stand the stock bars and mickey mouse pie plate mirrors. Did 300 miles through the mountains today .. Mo'better.
Flanders Daytona Tour with CRG Lanesplitters.

So, I'm out on my first 'real' ride this morning. Treasure
Island, Fl. south over the Skyway Bridge (is my CB1100
the first one over this bridge??), down into Sarasota, back over
the bridge, through downtown St. Pete and then over to
Jim's Harley Davidson where I do business with my HD.
A guy pulls up on a newer Road King, looks at my CB and
says... Now there's an OLD ONE! Too funny... I told him
it was brand new. He shook his head and road off. Maybe
my Harley Jacket had him confused? This CB is terrific...
all it needs is a windscreen, highway pegs (I'm 6 ft and
need to stretch out a bit), and a luggage rack and it would
be almost perfect. A belt drive instead of the chain would
make it perfect.

At 2,100 miles my chain is finally due for its first adjustment exhibiting slightly more than the 1 1/4" max specified.

So I was wondering if anyone else has had to adjust theirs yet and at what approximate mileage?

Bar risers, Pro Grips, Buell pegs, NC Street Shield, Cortech tail bag, Corbin seat w/ backrest, shorty exhaust & license plate mount mod. On the way is luggage rack, speedo/tach chrome covers & crash bar.

Local dealer had a Dyno set up for an Open House. So had an opportunity to see what the stock bike looked like. For sure a Torque bike! Flat as can be...
