How likely is it - and how much work - if you also did one for the standard CB and / or the EX ?
Let me play around with a more "stock" Drawing for a Standard and/or EX and see what I can come up with...

At what point do you draw on the RLETS?
You know I spent a half an hour the other night searching this forum to figure out what RLET stood for. That should be some right of passage on this forum, if you are serious about being here, figure out what this means.

Olde school - just like the CB1100. Perfect blend of spirit. (woo, ya)

So do we know who actually came up with the term RLET? Was it on this Forum?
With some simple Filtering, we could even make it look more like an old Blue Print.

Mark, when the CB1100 appeared in the US in 2013 and the Ferret was one of the first to have one, he had RLETs installed and spoke about it on the forum. Others saw the wisdom of his style choice and followed suit. Me included. I think [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2491]my report on their installation gave rise to the term RLET.
More importantly, though, I’m in awe of your drawing. Unlike Lord Popgun, I can’t draw a circle.

Lol my first Honda CB 1100 came home with them from the dealer's in March 2013.

Not for me. A proper CB Honda had to have Rlet's or it wasn't coming home lol

Lord Popgun is known for his kindness and generosity,..he very often consults his Ring if in doubt..

Thank you Grand Chancellor.
Are you home yet?

It appears your hand rendering, or practically any abstraction of it should look well on a t-shirt. These are some samples I found on the web ...
