So...what if I just took a yellow highlighter and.....
(I think it looks cool, but I think I'm just going to go with a mesh stone guard to get a retro look)

Thank you! Looks great!

I run a yellow headlight on mine too. I think it looks really cool and it does stand out on the road when you see one. I will say it does dim the out put of the headlight by about 15%. But here in Wisconsin we can run any color of headlight on a motorcycle except red or blue.

If that's your bike in your avatar pic... What tire is that?

I wish, although I don't know how anyone could ride on that seat! I have been exploring some none conventional tires out there lately. Really like the Firestone Coker tires but they seem to be much more for display than riding sadly

I've been looking at the Coker tired as well... I love the look and I think I'd be willing to give them a try even if I sacrificed a little performance.
My thing is that I'm unsure about sizing, especially on the front because of the fender... Not much clearance up there. I would love to run a more "classic" tire as I've never thought the stock tires look proper on the new CB's
Lemme know if you get it figured out!

At the risk of turning this into a tire thread I will continue haha. Reviews of the Cokers say they last about 4k miles or less, and handling is effected. Most guys recommend Avon speedmasters or similar tires from that line. Personally I think I might go with these when its time to change the oem (they arnt cool enough to take off still good tires like the Cokers would be if they lasted!)
