I might be the only person in the history of the bike who's considered returning it to 100% stock after extensive modifications. I still have every single stock part, and the bike has performed so well for so long I kind of want to put it back together as a reward for service well rendered. Trade your swords for plowshares old man. It's time to rest.
I took off all of the after market parts the previous owner of my CB1100 EX installed (he had converted it into a very nice cafe-racer format). I then purchased OEM Parts from Honda to return the rear fender, mirrors, etc. to the oringal configuration from the factory. I did not like the cost but I do like the look. Hence, I did not only consider it but I did it! No regrets, brother.
You can check out this thread for how the motorcycle looked when I purchased it:

And this thread for how it looks now. The only after market I placed on the motorcycle was a Comet Fairing, which I absolutely love because it makes a 70-75 MPH ride much nicer. I also added the RLETs to keep the RLET Police Squad happy (i also like how they look):
