Got the Tank Repainted - Pete Erickson_imp - 11-19-2015
So, you purchase a 2014 DLX and are not really liking the graphics on the tank. I have an easy way to fix that.
First you plan a 700 mile weekend trip to get an In 'N Out burger. You take the BMW because it has saddle bags. The second day of the trip is about 400 miles and you don't get home until about 8:30pm. You are dog tired. You pull into the garage, flick the kickstand down on the Beemer and start to get off the bike. As the bike is leaning over, you realize that the kickstand did not deploy at about the same time you realize you cannot stop the fall. The bar end and bar end mirror scrape the tank of your CB1100. The Beemer is undamaged.
Well, now you have the tank repainted without the graphics. The painters did a great job. Color match is perfect and the graphics are gone. Only cost $250.00.

Pics or it didn't happen!
My similar story resulted in a new (read used) tank...

In and Out Burgers are OK, but not worth $250

They are to me! I'd ride 1200 miles for one if it wasn't so dang cold right now.

Hey Long, Ferret's one to talk, he makes the Ribber Run on a regular basis!!

I don't know about In and Out Burgers, but if it's anything like that joint in Cherokee, Ferret, you'd have to pay me $250 to eat one.
RE: Got the Tank Repainted - the Ferret - 11-19-2015
Lol well In-and Out is a chain burger place but a little above the place we ate at in Cherokee which was a Burger King if I remember correctly.. I'm ok with either one, having never developed a sophisticated palate. I feel like you feel about Burger King about most fancy expensive restaurants. Just have no desire to eat in them.

It was a Hardees I believe in Cherokee and if I had not been so hungry it would have been in the trash straight away.
The dining choices in Robbinsville were even worse.

Yes, you'd have to pay me $250 to eat In-n-Out, too, and I have two or more of them within 30 minutes of my house. They taste like White Castle burgers, which are also awful.

Graphics? Other than the silver pinstripe, what graphics?
