If my 599 and Sportster had a Love Child
#23
Agree with you there on the belt. I really like the simplicity of the belt drive on my Sportster. Not sure if you were the one that posted, but yes my Sportster is rubber mounted and also fuel injected. Also has the self-cancelling turn signals. Funny that my HD is higher-tech than my Honda! (OK, ok, so it has pushrods.) The rear suspension on the Sportster is just terrible. I feel every little bump, ones that the 599 would just easily absorb, and I don't see the 599 as having a luxury suspension. There are upgrades available that supposedly help.

One thing that a lot of people probably like, which I don't necessarily care for on the CB1100 is the chrome fenders. Has anyone painted theres? Also, are there "fender eliminators" for the rear? Or any mods that would clean up the rear somewhat?
