Well, while I have been waiting (some more) for the ChicDesign seat and fairing, I decided to raid the internet and ordered a few more goodies. The Pirate's Lair had one Staintune slip-on for the CB1100 left in stock, ordered it on the 24th and it arrived today (27th). That's amazingly fast shipping, especially during the holiday season. The pipe looks super! I also decided to order a set of the R&G Racing Aero Frame Sliders. I just don't like the idea of crash bars on this bike. To me, frame sliders look a lot more part of my intended café theme. These sliders look like that ought to do the job. R&G is mighty proud of those frame sliders. To top it all off, I ordered a set of the tinted ChicDesign hand guards from Samurider. They are in the mail.

Had to raid a bit of my stash of rainy day loot. What the Hey, I am a retired old widowed geezer who just gained another year on the odometer. It's only money and none of us is going to live forever.

The bike probably won't all come together until sometime next year. Too cold and still waiting on parts. All of the information and tips for what to get and where to get it came off of this forum. Great place for CB1100 ideas and sources of good stuff...even if no one really likes my grips.

Yeah, I have belonged to a number of different forums and it seems each has its own character. I got quite a nice welcome from here in the New Members section. That's part of what makes it feel kind of odd that so many stopped to look at this post, but next to none even voiced an opinion, or shared their own experiences. I realize that Grips is not a hot topic; and I am not trying to be critical, but what's the point of participating, if there is no response?

There is a load of good information here among the chatter, but if this what one can expect as the norm.............. Thanks for your time and interest. Have good one!
