The combination of the Whitehouse tank, those wheels and the Endurance pipes will make it a really beautiful bike.
Aren't there some similar looking pipes made in Europe? Wyvern perhaps? Are they too different?

Perfect pic
After pipe replacement, will center stand be gone???

I’m interested in painting my 2013 like the 1982 CB900F paint scheme.

I attempted to get by with just the tank and side covers. The stock seat didn't quite fit and scrunched up near the tank though because the Whitehouse tank is a bulkier at the seat end. I could have sorted that out I'm sure by finding somebody to do the necessary shave-off of the seat, but I sprung for the Whitehouse seat as well after the fact. The only thing of note there is that I opted for the full-height seat. It's a dream when riding, but harder to maneuver with your feet while stopped. I'm 6', and can manage, but if I had it to do over again, I'd probably go for the lower-height seat option.
All in all, the Whitehouse solution is definitely not cheap, but the end result is outstanding. Getting a local shop to do the paint job on the original tank and replacing the side covers is probably more bang-for-the-buck.

Really starting to get that truer throw-back look.
