I also am not bent all out of shape on having the reflectors. I also like having a full size chrome rear fender, 2 full size mufflers and like my mirrors just the way they are.
Yours does look nice in a minimalist way though, and it's nice to have options for those that want the smaller light assemblies, fender eliminators, bar end mirrors, lower bars, removable reflectors and under slung or shorty exhausts
Have I ever told you how much I like that Husky? lol
Ya know Mick, when I was in high school and I bought a new 1973 Husky, I immediately put on Preston Petty fenders and changed the handlebars. Those original aluminum fenders were really easy to bend up and the stock bars were too low while standing on the pegs. At least that's what I told myself. But when I restored the 1973 Husky that sits in my living room now, I wanted it bone stock. 20 years from now if my hearts still beating and my lungs are taking air, I may just want a CB1100 in my living room and if I do it will be bone stock.
You modify one thing on your CB1100 that is the best change of all and I hope I can duplicate it in a couple years when I'm not scrambling trying to keep my business afloat. And that is adding lots of miles to the odometer on a regular basis.
I admit that all those reflectors did bend me out of shape. Taking them off was cheaper than therapy. I've had that F-150 for three weeks now and I haven't done anything but put gas in it. Three weeks with no mods and I'm developing an uncontrollable twitch in my left eye!
Cheers,
