    I have myself a cb350 racer, I hope to find some spare time to finish it and to do a few VRRA rounds.

        This is a great bike. Saw you had it on Craigslist. Still have it? Or did someone local to Ohio buy it?

                I'd lose the fairing. Looks ungainly. I like the GS living large in what looks like CO. Nice bike. Looks good lowered.

                    So what rear wheel is that in the 1100 swinger? Im having a hard time finding the right wheel to replace the stock mag in mine. Its pig heavy (as everyone here knows...) and need something to match my 2011 gsxr750 front end.

                      Earlier in the thread he mentions that the rear wheel is from a CBR600F3.

                          i believe that's an Eikoh Zero seat.
                          But i have not even been able to confirm the brand yet :-/

                          I actually have your bike on here twice, pre-mod and modded
                          Love your bike, i will be building something similar.
                          Anyone got more info on this seat, please let me know.
                          Especially if you have one for sale
