Thanks!!
Takashi just got back to me and said whitehouse is building another set of bars for me!
So looks like I'll have clip ons after all in about a month!

Very Very Cool, sorry for the slow reply on your PM. I hope the tank install went smooth. Great news about the clip-ons, they'll be sweet.
Looks fantastic. WH makes some quality items and with Takashi on our side, makes it so much better.

Silas, how hard was it to change the tanks out?

Beautiful as I expected!
(The cowl looks a little out of place to me now though.)

not hard at all! I used the technicians manual and unplugged the breather tube, then the fuel pump from the side cover and the fuel line from the bottom. Stupid me, had just filled my tank the day before so i had to empty all the gas into a bucket. Installing the fuel pump was easy and the tank slid on like a glove!GIXXERMAN_imp said:
thanks!!!! you really don't think the cowl fits any longer?! they are both raw aluminum!jimigalahad_imp said:

No, the cowl fits real nice now. It was pleasant enough with the red tank before but visually the whole bike works better with the aluminum tank. May want to add a rear boattail cowl for the seat and tail light.

Just my personal opinion. I think it would look pretty mean w/o the cowl or maybe black cowl. I think it looks great over all though. Definitely my fav cb1100 I've seen.

I didn't think too much of this when you started but now that I see it as it is currently I think it's SUPER. You obviously have a good eye and a goal. I like the original but you have very tastefully transformed the bike. I like the brown seat. Planning to get one in black for my bike which I plan to make only modest changes too.
