Black is Beautiful!!

[Wisedrum]

Black is black! And not bad at all.
A picture of yesterdays ride.
Some rain, some shine. Mostly shine!


But I also like green, this kind of green.


When I look out of my kitchen, there stands my Kawa .
What an enlightening inspiration!
I can not imagine a better view.

Got a chance to meet up with fellow member mec today and snapped this picture after a ride on the back roads near New Paltz,NY...thanks for the ride mec, really enjoyed it

 

[mec_imp]

Aside from mine, this is the first CB1100 I've seen in person. Thanks for the photo fiscy. The bike's goin' into storage soon, but next year we'll go for another ride and I'll try to slow down.

The black CB really shines in the dappled sunlight

Looks great. How are you liking the Moriwaki pipes? They're on the top of my exhaust wish list currently.

Bike looks very tastefully put together.

Neat picture. Is it photo effects, optical illusion or are your cylinder and head silver?

No, the cylinder head is black. The photo was taken on a tree lined street where the sun was shining through the trees striking the bike like that. My girlfriend's son is a photographer, and he was exited about taking this and many other shots of my bike. That photo was a quick sample he sent last week. I just got a bunch more a few minuts ago, and I'll get some posted soon. I had these taken in part because I promised Takashi from Samurider about two months ago that I'd get him some good photos, since all of the mods I've made came from him.

Here's mine. Only changes are RLET's carrier and engine guards, license plate bracket mod. I have thought about taking the paint off the foot peg mounts and polishing the bare metal. Has anyone done this yet? And after seeing a few of them, I think I am gonna lose the reflectors on the forks. The red mud was just a temporary thing, don't really like the look of it

Looks great. Even with the dirt! I think you forgot the after market exhaust!

I've posted this before but....

Two mods and I'm done (I have since added trim to the Comet).

bike looks great- so how do you like the touring screen on the comet?
do you notice a difference? I have one but haven't put on yet (in the off season I plan to).
I like the look of it.
would be interested in your impressions..
thanks

And yet another 14 std. Only a couple small mods. I just received my next mod via UPS. It's a Windjammer fairing and a mounting kit for a CB750. This mod I will start a new thread for.
Ha my windjammer photo bombed my picture
I like this pic better

Thanks for the compliment.

I can't say enough about how happy I am with the Moriwaki exhaust. Looks great, sounds great, added noticible performance boost. They were a breeze to install; no surprises or fitment issues. Even came with genuine Honda gaskets.

Here's a nice photo of one side.

Great to hear. Makes me want my own set even more now. I was hoping they lived up to the few sound clips I've been able to track down on YouTube.

Thanks for your review.

Here are a few shots of my black standard:

That's the aluminum cowl powder coated black, the Kijima grab rail, and chrome tank trim.

Another angle of the same.

The engine guards (hard to see unless in a close up such as this.)

Hope I did this right. A lot harder on a phone!

Edit: I've since removed the cowl and am back to the naked front end which I prefer.

Thanks. I love the touring screen It offers good protection with airflow hitting from the bottom of my visor up, and there is no buffeting. I put it on last Feb. and have no intentions of taking it off. Works great!
