Symmetry

[JustJohn_imp]

One of the things that makes a motorcycle beautiful to me is the symmetry, the balance if you will. Each side looks very much like the other side..whether from the side, or head on, or from the rear, you see the same thing. It's one of the things that appeals to me most about the CB Deluxe, and what bothered me the most about the 2013 model I had. I know a 4 into 1 was one of the most popular mods on multi cylinder bikes from the 70s and 80s. I even put one on my 83 GS 1100E Suzuki, although immediately I knew the " look" bothered me. There was a big gaping hole on the left side where a muffler should be. The feng shui was off. It was out of balance ( visually).

This photo shows why I made the move to the 2014. A muffler on each side. The feng shui will be in order and life will be good again. Ahhhhhhhhhh

Have I mentioned yet, this 4 in 2 always reminds me of a wheelbarrow?

Can't help, I like the 4 in 1 on the right side much more: less weight, less cleaning, free access to the chain, less risk to get burned and easy climbing from left on the bike.

For me it also looks better, not so baroque. I like form follows function, no useless material. This is Feng Shui to me.

Looks like the right side pipe is lower than the left?
