~ Sorry for my boring posts ~

I'm going to look at this ST1300 on Saturday and i'm trying to put a value on the farkels that come with it. You can check it out here if you'd like:

Are the slip-ons Yoshimura ? It also has a Sargent seat, heated grips, highway pegs and a top box with a bad color match.

Sheesh, I thought my 1000+ mile days were impressive. This guy did 2,829 miles in 38 hours and 49 minutes, including gas and restroom stops. This guy must have been screaming along to average 73 mph!

Hey All! Long time no post. I was perusing Craigslist and came upon this guy. 1981 CB900F Super with less than 7000 miles. Asking $3000. Looks really nice, but I'm in the midst of an unplanned repair due to the rain that has become a mini-remodel.. My wife would have my $#@#$. heh heh. She's cool, but I'd be pushing it. What do ya think!? I know some of you guys are nearby... Hope you're well and riding strong!
Cheers!

This may have been answered already, but there are a couple of design things which could be improved on the CB1100.
1. A more friendly seat--wider, softer, tipped up at front.
2. Wider mirror stems
3. Re-position driver pegs forward. (I feel like I'm riding a tricycle trying to fold my legs back.
4. Shaft drive
5. Much larger capacity gas tank
6. Offset handlebar risers (to allow more upright sitting)
7. A diffferent configured rear brake lever

I have had to purchase after-market for all the above except 3, 4 and 5 for my 2014 Standard. I had my brake lever heated and bent, and added other farkles. Not every rider stands 5'5" and weighs 120 lbs, which seems to be the standard for many Asian cycles. I've always owned Honda cycles but have had to alter many of them to provide comfort for my 6'0" big-sized body. Why doesn't Honda design a cycle for the American rider? Does Honda have financial ties to all the accessory manufacturers?

I'm not sure if I will need this tool when I do the gaiters installation, but today I found a 17mm hex wrench in my plethora of tools that fits the left side of the front axle perfectly. Sure beats having to go out and buy one these days. I either got it to work on a '71 VW bug or a '76 Toyota, not sure which. It's another of my "one time use" tools.

I'm installing a Givi back rack and got the grab bars off, but I'm having a tough time getting the nuts started on the two back bolts. I, or my wife, cannot get our fingers up under the welded housing on my 2014 black standard. Box end wrench hasn't worked either. Service manual just says to reverse the removal procedure. No tips

I know someone must have done this and I would greatly appreciate any advice.
