        Wind screen is a bit different; but the rest of the mods (especially the suspension) are fantastic. Well done!

                not sure if you were speakin to me but in case you were the details are

                81 gs750 L model
                roccitycafe seat (not installed perminently yet)
                superbike bars and grips from z1 enterprises
                push button starter near battery and left inner knee
                smaller directionals
                side mount lisense plate and brake light
                had to rebuild front m/c
                and tons of extra removal. (indicators inbetween gauges, rear fender, etc)

                future plans include :

                -wire and electronics tuck (definate)
                -pod filters (in the mail as we speak)
                -exhaust header wrap (definate)
                -wire wheels (depends how my current wheels look once painted)
                -clubman bars (maybe, i really like the seating position as it is now)
                -different speedo/tacho setup (one of the last finishing touches
                -new rear spring and shock combo (one of the last finishing touches)
                -rebuild front forks with stiffer lower springs (kinda chopper-ish right now and need a rebuild anyway)
                -repaint frame (definate)
                -head gasket (leaking )


                more pics next sunny day

                  MASSSCENE, one of the many great things about this website is the lack of flaming in regards to members bikes.
                  Nice start to yours.
                  Put a "definite" beside the shorter, stiffer fork springs. I think "stance" is very important for bikes like yours.

                    When riding this machine, where does one put it (your ass)? I can't seem to locate a seat.

                      he's right about that, I was told to leave the cb1100f.net forum because my bike, like many others there, wasn't not the F sport model but the C cruiser model looking for repair tips.

                          Heres the more pics as requested.

                          I used to frequent a honda forum that was so bad with the flaming it probably made people move to alaska and get on suicide watch. Nice to be able to sit back relax and put my feet up!


                          As for the craigs list post yes, that is me. I got a little discouraged with how much more little thigns i needed and didint think i would be able to afford to get them done this summer...... that feeling was followed immediatley by me ordering parts for it lol







                          I just ordered pod filters for it though

                              Yes it is. I absolutey hated it at first but with the right seat and right bars its really not that bad.
