CB1100 Type II Conversion

Great looking seat Guth
I too have fairly short legs and share your concerns about dropping the CB in a parking lot maneuver or whatever due to the weight. I've learned how to be careful in those situations and really don't have a problem, but I have to pay more attention than I do on my other bikes.
I'll admit that when I first got the CB I wondered if I had made a mistake because it's the heaviest bike I've ever owned but soon got used to it and now it's a dream to ride.
That said, I'm not being complacent
When I came back to bikes in 1992 it was on a new Hawk GT and I loved that bike! Easy to maneuver and stone axe reliable. It took me on trips all over eastern Canada and the U.S. for ten years and I often wish I hadn't sold it.
