I've just gotten the suspension to where I really enjoy this bike. She may weigh in at over 500 pounds, but feels at least 100 pounds lighter (how does Honda do that??)What did you do for the suspension? I had RaceTech do my ZX 9R for Track Day riding and was very happy with the result.
Also threw a bunch of $$ at my soon-to-be 28 year old '91 BMW R100GS, and she's running nicely! I've owned since new in March of 1991, and at slightly over 155,000 miles, she now has a new lease on life. Carbs rebuilt, tranny bearings replaced along with seals, new driveshaft, new clutch plate and spring .... singular... it's one diaphragm spring, and a bunch of incidentals. Engine top end was rebuilt approx 25k miles ago, ignition by Alpha, Nippondenso starter motor, so she should be good to go for as long as I can throw a leg over.
And the Guzzi, at 65,000 miles, just rumbles sweetly along! Here she was in 2010, near Warsaw, Ohio, riding along the Walhonding River.

They quote $320 parts and labor for front, and $900 for rears for the CB 1100.
