Let's see your CB1100 out on the road!

I really like the blue!  Was that a stock color or painted?

Sometimes I still dream of buying a blue tank

...or going fender / side cover / tank: 


But just the tank shipped is $1,500.

Yeah I think that's why I ended up buying the bike - the previous owner had the panels and tank painted. Did a great job. It isn't the same blue as stock - they described it as 'kingfisher blue'.

I did the same web-poking to see if that shade of blue was original or not. I assumed it was custom painted, and it looks awesome! Sometimes I think of getting the OEM blue tank for my Enfield.

Years ago, I had a one-year-color Candy Tahitian Blue '93 Nighthawk. It had a few scratches, so I showed it to a local painter and got a quote to repaint the body panels in a simple Honda metallic blue to avoid the cost of a three-stage candy job. Got a great price, $500 for the whole bike (this was years ago, remember), and when he was done, I was blown away at the shade. Just a tad darker than original, and he went ahead and did a candy base coat on it. Something about a really nice blue that can make a bike really pop.
