This motorcycle is very sensitive to large objects you mount to
its front forks or handlebars. I changed to wider super-sport bars
with super-bike mirrors and immediately noticed a difference at
over a hundred miles an hour. So if you mount something up there
and the large skinny 18 inch front tire starts to high speed weave
a little bit (or a lot) you will know what caused it. I plan to mount
a small black Emgo cafe fairing to cover the instruments/headlight
and that is about all this bike can handle without handling issues.
Remember 'retro' means 18' skinny wheels and even as good as the
CB1100 suspension is in my opinion, this wheel size works great at
slower speeds and not so great at higher ones (explains the limiter).

This windshield fit great, the seller implied it was for a Ducatti, the model number is N8332 as recommended to me on this forum. The assembly instruction is good, except I found having everything lose, top and bottom mounting as well as clutch and brake fixture made it easy to lineup and have a symmetric look. I want to thank those who made the recommendation.Could I kindly ask what this set up looks like on the bike?
