Your bike is screaming out for a lower set of handlebars or perhaps some clip-ons. Future plans?

Ha. I agree. These bars are lower than the stock bars, but clip-ons would really clean up the profile. I'm super happy with the riding position here. We'll see how it goes. Smile

What brand and type of bars did you put on? They appear to be aluminum. What type of mirrors? Thanks.

Smokin! This has to be one of the nicest member bikes I've seen in this genre. Makes me want to get 2 CB1100s, a 2-up and a solo. Noticed the license plate and fork reflector cleanup. Nice! A smaller profile slip-on would be excellent as well.

Amazing! Like the original CB's, a wonderful canvas to paint our passion on and mold the machine into the art we love and can not stop looking at.

Bikes are so personal... As they should be.

My compliments to the artist!

Thanks! Yup found the license plate mod here. So many great tips (and generous people) in this forum. Some of the tutorials people are posting are fantastic.

Ya, you have done very well with your bike. That fairing is some nice kit. Seat looks good too but to rich for my blood.
