Changed up the tail yet again.....

[/quote] Yeah, I agree. I'll be keeping the fenders on my bike though, they were one of the bike's selling points. The irony is that I will probably never ride it in the rain !

That was a selling point for me too. To me the CB looks like a "proper" motorcycle and not all jacked up in the rear with wide open spaces between the rear tire and the frame; with next to no fender/mudguard and the taillight and plate hanging on a skimpy bit of bodywork. The design of many of the new bikes really puts me off.
And don't get me started on many of those ugly mufflers
That's what also drew me to the Triumph Bonneville too.
The CB900F (919, aka Hornet) that I have has a fairly comfortable standard seating position and I've been on it for days and weeks at a time. The factory rear tire hugger was replaced by an extended one which gives a little better wet weather protection.
