But on the GW it is different set-up:

The steering on the GW goes trough 2 "push-pull" links. On the "CB that doesn't exist", the steering goes through a mechanism that will work in bending.
The GW design seems very light, and the loads are transfered as they should: traction and compression. On the CB, there are too many parts, seems like too much weight (steering inertia: can feel stable, but also heavy), and as it works in bending, it will be way more flexible/compliant than the GW desing.
[edit]
I also think the "bmw telelever" design is much cleaner, mechanically better, and in terms of suspension kinematics it can be almost as good as the honda's double wishbone but using a single arm,
[end edit]
On another note: I think this spoils the spirit of simplicity that I associate to UJMs

don't be too blinded by part nr 166b at the CB study in this case it looks a little bulky the basic components are the same........well the space is just another at gw
but
generally it shows how innovative honda is....
