I mean, I've done a few basic mods, but nothing that detracts from the very clean, beautiful, classic looks.
Am I crazy, or is that an understandable view???
Not crazy at all. When the CB750, CB400, etc. were new people would fart with them so as to be different. Now, in hindsight, people realize they were classics from the factory, and spend crazy money trying to make their 1100 look like those did stock! Honda worked really hard to get the 1100 right, once again. It is already a classic, in it's own right, and doesn't need dramatic change. A few generations from now people will probably be spending crazy money on kits trying to make their new bike look like it!
