Supercruz, your bike looks awesome. With the fairing and matching side covers, I really like this look. Like some of the other comments, I was ok with the silver until I saw those pics, now I am going to have to order some in red.
For those of you putting on the CB 1100 emblem, do they just stick on in place of the decals?

CB4ME, which windscreen is that? I've been waiting on the Dart screen, but yours looks like what I'm after.
And how do you like it at speed? Does it cut the wind well?

Anyone find a company that makes aluminum side covers that do not stick out as much?
Maybe I will try to make some....

Might modify stockers after red ones show up. Thought pic of these might give you something to go by if you decide to fab some.

The windscreen is a Puig Plus available from from Monster Parts. Wind is cut from chest area. It's uncanny ant lower speeds of 30 to 45 mph. At higher speeds it still does a good job but I have noticed wind noise at 50 mph and above as all that air is pushed up and over the windscreen into my helmet.
The screen is only 3mm thick, and very flexible. The top jiggles a little when riding over rough roads. But the shield is rock solid in it's simple mount at 90 and 95 mph speeds into the wind. Doesn't move a millimeter.
I had the Dart flyscreen on my Bonneville - it was a stiffer plastic and significantly smaller. It looked perfect on the Triumph but wind protection was rather minimal.

The CB1100 emblems have emblem tape on the back. Just peel and stick. To get the silver stick on CB1100 stickers off the Force Design side covers, i first outlined the existing sticker with painters tape so I would know where to put the new emblems. Then take a hair dryer and heat the stickers and carefully peel by lifting an edge with a finger nail. Tweezers are also helpful to pull the stickers off. Be patient and take your time. When done, clean any remaining residue with some light solvent such as lighter fluid, naptha, or denatured alcohol. Then apply your new CB1100 emblems using the taped outline as your guide.
