She sounds soooo mean. Videos to come!!

 

[FUZZY_imp]

Street Fighter! Looks mean!

 

[silascopathic_imp]

Yea man I'm so in love with this thing now even more than I thought I could be : D

 

[Joola_imp]

Looks really clean. Wasn't completely sure what to expect when you were going over everything you wanted to do but it looks great! Such a verstaile bike.

 

[Scoobynut_imp]

That looks freakin' awesome! I won't be modifying mine to that extent, but you've really altered the stance of the bike for the better -- much more aggressive looking. Love the wheels. Most guys on this forum probably wouldn't like the one-color wheels like that, but I think it's a great look. Very well done, and dare I say, tastefully done as well.

 

[Waffa_imp]

Congratulations man, it's like renewing your wedding vows.

The nice thing about black wheels is it hides hard to remove black gunk.

 

[Mackerel_imp]

Totally digging the rear fender removed and the aluminum cowl combo. Looks so clean. I'm thinking about going with a black tank and the Chic trunk seat in black. Maybe keep the aluminum colored side covers to go with the cowl. So many decisions! But congrats, the wheels and everything look great!

 

[cb400four_imp]

Your hard work and creativity really paid off, that is a great looking bike. Looking forward to the videos!

Where are you going for the honeymoon?

Seriously...nice work.

That looks great!

Where do you put the license plate? Under the tail light somehow?

 

[ron1100_imp]

That's creativity at its best. Nice and mean lookin' bike and tastefully done might I add.

 

[oldgoat01_imp]

The exhaust and elimination of the rear fender changes the entire vibe of the bike. Nice job.

 

[silascopathic_imp]

Thanks everyone!!! I plan on side mounting the plate and getting a new plate light.

Now I cant wait to see what it looks like with a custom brown leather low K&H seat!

It's also awesome to be heard in traffic now hehehehehe

 

[mininsx_imp]

I'd be tempted to paint the sliver panels below the seat black too, but leave the "CB1100" visible.

I agree. Pop emblem off & either paint or wrap in black. Then stick it back on.

 

[silascopathic_imp]

you really think? I kinda like the silver red motif going on... but i suppose I could wrap them in vinyl and see what it would look like.

anyone know of a good place to buy vinyl that can be used to wrap things? I may also try to wrap the front fender in matte black too.

Another option is Plasti Dip. Retains original surface & if you don't like just peel it off.

 

[silascopathic_imp]

Then I can experiment!

ANd you can all witness yet another transformation
Fuzzz where can you get plasti dip?! I have never been able to find it

Lowe's, Home Depot & maybe Wally World. I'm trying some things with it AS WELL.
