    Just catching up on these funnies. The 2 bobbers that are not bobbers without the saddles, wow. How can you not plan that item in your hack design? The "Very comfortable and fast bike" since when are planks/church pews comfortable?

      There should be a hump in the back where the tail light and seat lock attaches to.
      Seat? Side covers? Only some of the more comfortable and good-looking parts of the bike.

      There should be a hump in the back of any nit-wit who would take a saw to an '83 11e.

        Never stop improving! (Till you screw it up) from a CL post about 81 Honda CB 900

        "Decided to upgrade the carbs and rejet and run pod filters. Rebuilt the carbs completely with new gaskets, upgraded jets and rebuilt the fuel pump too. New carburetor boots too. Has new plugs and battery this winter and I have oil and a filter to go with it. Won't start now. Turns over fine and fires on a shot of fuel but not under its own power. Not sure what's wrong. I'm done messing with it. I bought another bike. All electronics work and the tires are good. I want it gone. "

          What exactly are "upgraded jets"? I have been in a lot of carburetors and drilled or replaced jets, but have never found those laser cut gold plated "upgraded jets" those probably would have made all the difference right there!

                    I would like to know what it is he thinks is a fuel pump. LOL He's probably looking at the starter solenoid. heh

                            I'd say duct tape but otherwise I totally agree.
