I have absoluetly no problem with someone who thinks they would like to make their own bike into what they believe would make it better for them, whether that is by making more power, more sound (within legal limits) upgraded suspension, make it a cafe, make it a drag racer, make it a bobber, make it a tourer, make it a different color, whatever. There are a lot of things people do to their CB1100 here, that confuses me, confounds me even when it comes to modifying the CB1100, but that's ok, better than ok even, because even though we are all doing different things to our CB1100s, we are all fans of the basic bike... and that's very cool. A wonderful canvas that we all get to make a masterpiece in our own eyes out of.
Stichill, according to what I read about the development of the bike heat in the head area was a particular problem for the engineers, hence the oil galleries in the head and the fins surrounding the spark plugs.
