All I can say is the CB lives up to all my expectations and even exceeds them.This bike is so well balanced it feels like I'm riding a 250cc, until I twist the throttle. I love the super smooth transmission. The seat is nice and firm. I usually have to change out the seat on a new bike. I'm partial to Corbins and Russel Day Longs, but I don't think I'll have to change this seat. The suspension is a little soft but I haven't fooled with it yet.
Over all you all were right on, this is a well built and great handling machine.I'm used to wind protection, so what wind screen do you all recommend? I read a review of National Cycles Street Shield EX in the Rider magazine. Sounds good, I'm just wondering how it will go with the bikes lines. Anyone have one? I'm also looking for a luggage rack to carry a 12 pack home when the need arises.
Any suggestions? I saw a German one with a hand rail for the passenger but can't remember the name. Anyone have one with that passenger hand rail. I remember it was made for a top case. Thanks for any help you all can give me.
Boy I'm happy for you, you are having the same good feelings I had when I picked up my CB750four and again when I picked up my CB1100
I use the National Street fighter EX during the summer and in the winter I switch over to the National Plex Fairing. I just cut the long portions off that hang down to protect the knees, to a level right where the bolts come out of the sides of the head light. I drilled a hole on each side and purchased two longer metric bolts with a nut to use as a jam nut and screwed it into the head light using the nut as a jam nut to re-secure the head light and then slipped a black piece of 3/8 fuel hose over the portion of the bolt sticking out and used a black tie wrap to secure it to the shield. It was originally for my Sportster.
I'll try to post a pic tomorrow.
