This thread is relevant to my interests. 
I am changing things on my bike that don't fit the old style. I am just shooting more for the late 70's early 80's style rather than the early 70's. Too many things Honda did in new style that they shouldn't have.
So things I changed that in my mind didn't fit the bike-
Got rid of the seat and put on a tuck rolled, leather grain patterned, high step seat.
Replaced the handle bars with ones that have more pull back and are wider- still factory Honda and have the holes for the bar weights.
Switched out the 2014 handlebar controls for the 2013 as their style is more appropriate.
Switched out the 2014 blinkers for the 2013 as their size and lens style is more appropriate.
Switched out the plastic chain guard for a chrome metal one.
Took off the seat garnish side grab bars and installed a round tube chrome grab bar.
Rlets of course.
Old style engine guards
I have a few ideas left, but have to brainstorm how to get done what I want to get done. I'll post pics when the project is finished.
I have only a few tanks of gas through the bike since I bought it in July so have not had a chance for anyone to see it in a parking lot yet.
