I purchased a leftover 14 model a few weeks ago. Silly as it sounds, I think I might want the earlier larger blinkers. Does anyone have pictures to compare?

Thanks- Josh

Looks like there may be a few additional details and links from the first read.

Will read it later.

Mine was Fabricated from 2 mounts. The upper mount is from a Suzuki or Yamaha I'm not sure which. The lowers or down tube portion is from a 78 CB750.

These are the 3 main pieces of the mount.

We used the oil cooler mounting point to fix the upper mount to the bike.

Cutouts to allow forks to go lock to lock.

I hope this helps someone who may want to install a Vetter fairing on their CB1100.

I hope carguy1959 shows his mounting system.

I want to take my bike back to stock. I've removed the rear rack, but forgot to take note of what the black pieces behind the garnishes (what Honda calls the "garnish plates") do. They seem sort of pointless. Do the wires from the lights run through the hole in them?

Also, my garnishes have holes drilled in the back (toward the rear of the bike). One has two holes and the other has one. Am I correct in assuming these were put there by the previous owner?

I had the sad honor of participating in the funeral procession and attending the memorial service for San Diego Police Officer J.D. DeGuzman yesterday. J.D. was killed in the line of duty on July 28th. His partner, Wade Irwin was also shot and sustained serious injuries but is recovering.

I cannot publicly talk about the facts of the case because my office is currently prosecuting the gunman. What I can say is that J.D. was loved and respected, both professionally and personally. His loss is a huge one in our law enforcement community. His loss is a huge one in our entire community.

The outpouring of support from the public was beautiful. The eastbound freeway was shutdown for purposes of the procession. Still, drivers on the westbound side had stopped. Many of them waving flags, some with their hands on their hearts, some saluting. Shouts of "Thank you!" kept coming. Members of various fire departments stopped their trucks on the overpasses, firefighters stood on top, saluting the procession. As we exited the freeway and made our way to the church, more citizens lined the sidewalks. Kids held signs thanking the thousands of law enforcement officers who were attending the service. Blue ribbons were tied around fence posts and trees. The salutes, waving flags, and shouts of "thank you" continued. It was really something special.

In keeping with forum rules, let me add this: The sight of 200 motor officers with lights flashing, but no siren, leading the procession of a fallen officer is an emotional experience. It's my understanding that in addition to the 200 motorcycles, there were 600 cars in the procession. Agencies from all over the country participated. The motor officers led, followed by the body of J.D. then his family. Behind them, members from J.D.'s Gang Suppression Team followed by other members of SDPD. All the marked units from the numerous agencies followed then the unmarked units, all with emergency lights flashing. Miles long. I was in one of the cars along with two of my gang investigators.

The service was beautiful but incredibly heartbreaking. More than anything, the words from J.D.'s mom cut deep. I couldn't hold back the tears. When I tried to describe the day to my wife who watched much of it online, I'd get choked up and find it hard to speak. It feels good to share all of this here. Guth, Ferret and Cormanus, I know I'm stretching the rules a bit but I hope my inclusion of the motor officers is just enough to allow this post. The sight of them was impressive, impactful, and something I hope I never have to see again.

Thank you to J.D. and to Wade and to all the men and women who put their lives on the line in an effort to protect the rest of us from those who would do us harm.

This made me think of The Ferret. It's not sound, it's noise. No it's tone...
I crack myself up!

Some of you have already seen this bike, but do any of you know where I can get the seat?

I have a gunfighter/lady seat about to be delivered in a few days with the standard backrest. I am interested in a givi rack (sr 1118) since I already have a givi monokey box lying around. It looks like, from the pictures I can find on the net, that the backrest might foul on the givi rack even without the monokey attached. Does anyone on the forum have experience with this possible combo?

Team -- I've been on the search for a fairing. I'm leaning towards a classic looking cafe fairing to keep with the style of the motorcycle. Anybody with recommendations and/or photos of fairings on the bike?

Appreciate the input!
