Ahhh ok. My Triumph Bonnie came with those, but I removed them to put on the fork gaiters. They are probably a good idea.

Man, I can still remember how bad I wanted a 750 Nighthawk the first time I spotted one on the road. Finally got one. Nice bikes. I would still have it if the CB1100 had not come along.

Well, in 2003 I bought a rigid mount 1200 Sportster with cash and never even gave the NHs a look. This was back when you got on the waiting lists and all of that BS. Now what the hell was I thinking?? I was caught up in the cruiser HD hype I guess. Bet you one million dollars that will never ever happen again with me. It will go down as one of the most stupid things I have ever done.

The one I have is nearly as good as new to be 11 years old but I wish I as the man who had the opportunity to get it new. One thing that I ponder often about getting a CB1100 is that there is literally and I mean nothing wrong with this CB750 period. Its just solid.

Gustav, how do you like your fairing; is it effective? What brand is it? I wish we had the spoked wheel option here in the states.

Dave, it looks like a Dart Flyscreen. Plenty of opinion on those in this forum.

Cheers

Some others are not so complimentary. You pays your money, you takes your chances.

Our brewery's taproom is literally 1 block away from Target Field (home field for the Minnesota Twins) and we got a TON of traffic when the Twins are playing at home. Literally hundreds of people come to us for pints both before and after each game. One of my simple pleasures lately has been parking the CB right outside the front door on those days and spotting people gawking at it, taking pics of it with their phones, telling their wives how they owned something like that back in the 70's, etc. Always puts a smile on my face.

This shot was taken today. The Twins lost to the Indians 2 - 8.

In Ripley Ohio, at a shady rest stop over looking the river, the CB attracted an admirer

Also spotted my first Indian in the wild.Real nice fellow by the name of Curt from around Columbus, Ohio was headed to do some riding in Kentucky. Owned a slew of bikes, including all 3 versions of the new Bonneville and a 2013 CB 1100. Really liked the looks of my Deluxe.

They do that all time time down here on I 275 in tri county area, only usually white harley and gray uniform. They stand in the shadows of the over pass pillars, and are really hard to spot until you are very close.

Where was that pw363?

That looked like a Victory police motorcycle.
