Haven't even had her a month yet, but I'm quickly working on making her mine...






List so far:
Woodcraft clip-on bars with 2.5in risers
Hakofugu Mirrors
Dart Marlin Flyscreen in midnight color (you basically can't see through it at all)
Yoshimura slip-on muffler
Metalmaven's License Plate Bracket Kit

I also have the TSR air intake funnel, but I'm waiting to get a power commander before installing it for fears of being too lean without a tune. After that, I'm thinking I'll go with a more Café-type seat, such as the Daytona or Chic Design Trunk.

Edit: Oops, I forgot about the RLETs! I have them already but keep forgetting to put them on.

Hi everyone... thought some of you might get a kick out of [url=http://karlvandervelden.com/]this blog I put together during a huge trip I recently completed with my wife. It is no reflection whatsoever on the Bonnie that I sold it after the trip and bought a 2014 CB1100 DLX...it was simply destiny I can't wait to do something like that trip (or bigger) with the CB. What a bike!

One (1) was purchased through a local Napa for $15, the other purchased through Amazon for $10.

Put some rizoma Clubs on the front today (waiting on some Club S's for the rear, but backordered). I didn't realize how small they were in real life, but they really clean up the front end.

CAUTION! new 2014 std stock suspension bike with yoshimura machine bent exhaust, flat smooth right hand sweeper @ 40 mph, the exhaust touched down before the peg feeler touched down to warn me. I'm disappointed.

Two rides ago I heard a noise coming from the rear wheel. My first description of the noise was it sounded like a tiny baseball card in bicycle spokes. A better description would be the noise the rear axle of a 10 speed bike when you are coasting. My first reaction was to apply the rear brake, but that didn't affect the noise at all. So I stopped the bike and checked carefully for any foreign objects, nothing. My son, who was following me said that he could hear it from 20' behind me. After the shortened ride I put it up on the centerstand, in neutral, and spun the wheel. It definitely sounds like 10 speed coasting noise and seemed to come from the rear wheel sprocket area. When I spun the wheel forward the clicking stopped after a few revolutions, but when I spun the wheel backwards the clicking was consistent. The chain didn't look especially dry and there is only 550 miles on the bike, but I lubed it anyways and the sound seemed to diminish, but Jane was rushing me to get to a dinner engagement so I just put it away. Fast forward to yesterday. The clicking is still there. I found that it was very quiet when I was accelerating, but the minute I backed off the throttle it was very apparent. I stopped and saw ACK and we put it up on the centerstand and he was baffled. He looked at the chain tension and he thought that it was a bit slack, but by no means bad, especially with only 550 miles. To me it sounds like the noise is coming from the left side of the hub near the sprocket. Its not nearly as loud when I listen from the right side. Has anyone else heard this clicking ?

I don't usually condone such things on this forum but I am going to make an exception

Popgun sent me a Japanese Honda catalog he got included with an order from Mr T from Samurider (well he actually sent me several which will be awesome in my collection of CB 1100 publications I have collected.)

Anyhow here is the centerfold in the Honda catalog.. She's gorgeous...isn't she?

Thanks again, Popgun. I owe ya!

Having read of some forum members having the misfortune of accidents or dropping their bikes while moving them, I decided it was past time for some crash guards. These very nicely crafted SW Motech bars arrived today. Ordered a set for Pamela's V-strom as well.

Canopy for two. If I lived in an overpopulated country with a long rain season, I think I'd give in to this mod. '75 CB200T used as the model bike too!
