Farkles for Katie!

Thanks to our new BFF FlynBulldog who shipped the side covers and gauge covers the same day I ordered them, Katie is sporting a new look:

No, you can't call a CB1100 'Katie'

It's just wrong man....:-/

 

[ThomWill_imp]

I am used to being wrong but it is her name.

 

[Tortuga_imp]

Ok, I'll accept that. At least you're riding 'Katie' and not 'Derek'

 

[CB4ME_imp]

Nice farkles - Dart, Corbin, Cortec?, Red side panels, meter covers......I'd say that's a great start. Great looking bike and nice pictures! Katie is lookin good.

 

[Cormanus]

Katie somehow looks more grown up with her red side covers. Nice work, Thom.

 

[the Ferret]

The new additions are awesome Thomwill.

 

[Flynbulldog_imp]

Looks Sooo much better!

Think Katie Holmes...not so hard to saddle up, is it?

 

[Buffalorider_imp]

What brand of bags do you have? Those look like a removable system. I never liked bags until I had removable hard bags on my RoadStar.
I became spoiled.

 

[ThomWill_imp]

Those are Ogio bags. So far I really like them.

 

[Ridem32_imp]

Part # and where did you get the bags? Did you have to add that bracket that I see on some of the CB ?

 

[Buffalorider_imp]

Is that the #110093 bags?
Price online is not bad. And I'll 2nd that question about the brackets.

 

[ThomWill_imp]

Yes, they are the Ogio Moto 110093... bought them at the dealership the day I picked her up, no brackets needed (at least for my use) plenty of clearance from pipes, etc. and enough support from the seat side rails.

 

[Ridem32_imp]

Thanks ThomWill. Do you put straps under the seat? Does it use bungies to help hold steady in wind ?

 

[ThomWill_imp]

I did put the straps under the seat. I will have to check but i don't think I have anything other than that because I have them sitting so high to the seat.

 

[Buffalorider_imp]

Sounds like a candidate for next addition, Thanks!

 

[ThomWill_imp]

Wife just informed me that she got me the OEM rear carrier for our 27th anniversary. :-D Should be here this week.

 

[Ridem32_imp]

That's a very nice gift ThomWill. Do we ever stop spending money on a already perfect bike? Lol

That remark made me smile, but how true it is.
But if we didn't do that, it wouldn't be as much fun would it
