Hey guys. I'm a tall, dorky, middle-aged guy looking for a sporty afternoon cruiser. Years ago I picked up a '78 CB750F for no other reason than I liked how it looked. It was all stock except for a MAC header. It sounded like WWII on wheels (in another word - awesome).
That was my first foray into dissecting carburetors. It didn't go well. The brakes also sucked, as in for the first time ever I was afraid to be on a motorcycle. Despite all that and our short time together I still have fond memories of the bike.
I'd like a modern version of that bike. Once I get past the 1100 vs. 750 thing and squint my eyes I can almost see my old 750F in the CB1100, except for the tail. Instead of a chrome fender and odd protruding tail lamp it had a sleek café piece that swung open like a guitar case.
Does anybody possibly make an F tail section? I'm guessing not but I thought I'd ask.
And while I'm asking questions, is there an exhaust for the CB1100 that comes close to the MAC I had on my old 750? God that thing was magical. People would literally stop what they were doing to watch that bike scream past!
