That is on my list of things to do this year. I am certain it will improve the handling dramatically.
This video brings a smile to my face every time I watch it. That was the golden age.

It would take about 10 minutes. That's 1 minute to write a check for $1500.00 to buy a pair of the piggyback Ohlin's Freddie Spencer has on that CB11 and 9 minutes to bolt them on. I want a pair like that, yellow springs and all.

I hope Penske steps up and begins offering shocks for the CB1100, they make great stuff and the price might be slightly lower than Ohlins.

I don't recall the swingarms on the ZRXs looking like that. That's a pretty trick looking setup overall.

Did you explain to the bank that you have a new motorcycle that needs expensive customization? Usually if they understand that there is a situation like medical emergency, natural disaster, accessory/upgrade list, they'll work with you.
