Thanks T_Dub (you know I'm watching your "show" ;) )

Couple things that didn't pan out: GSXR600 front mastercylinder and brake lever; still got 'em, but it just offered a couple more problems that I don't need at the moment ... it could make a comeback, we'll see.
KZ1000J headlight. Big honkin' round headlights are appealing to me and I do not really like the looks of the stock 900F Honda light, the bucket has a weird shape and it sticks out a bit too far from the front ... but - just like the gixxer m/c - the Honda piece fit correctly and works 'right'.

Long(er) range plans are to install CBR-F2/3 wheels (6 U-shaped spokes ... they look like Technomagnesios) painted white. The CalFab rear arm will easily accomodate the rear wheel, and I'd like to find a not-too-hard-to-install inverted front end. I have the rear wheel, the front will magically appear in my garage some day :laugh: . I'd also like to install one of those big honkin' GS1100/1150E headlights; with a different front clip that would be the time to tackle this goal.

hey guy's nothing wrong with honda's!! most likely where we all started!! i started off on 160 honda dream!! graduated to my brothers 450 honda chopper at age 16.. then got my first cb750 which the top end seized up after a couple yrs... then had it totally rebuilt from top to bottom... 820cc kit-mtc,nice street cam,heavy duty valve springs, and ton's of chrome.. drove it on the street for 20,000 miles.. giving the big kaw's all they could handle... just like a timex super dependable.. started taking it to the drags after picking up a couple kaws for the street.. the old honda would run 11.90's all day long... never ever broke while i had it... so no bad word's for honda's from me.. even had a cbx just before i got out of bikes in 87!!!!!!

Hello Bad Kaw,

very nice Honda! Like it a lot and most classic fans do :-) It`s one of the absolute 80ies stars and you don`t need to hide behind Kawas with it. We say "Bolle" to the Bol d`or`s here and they`re highly respected in the classic scene here.

I`m wondering about the cool cast wheels on your bike - normally the Bolle`s have this ugly Comstar wheels. Can you pls tell me what wheels you have on your bike?
Best,
Igor

Thanks for the kind words, fellas. (just waiting for Leon to drop the hammer on me :laugh: )

Z-Igor: Those are actually stock 83 CB1100F wheels for the American bikes. Iknow that Canada got gold Comstars and I suspect everybody else did too after reading your post. I know what you mean about the Comstars ... looked kinda trick, but weren't. Kind of a typical Honda-thing to do ... like the wonky double cam chains (Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat the f*ck were they thinking!!!). But this is just one of those bikes that I have always lusted after. I had originally thought about going 'Spencer Replica' paint scheme, but after seeing the blue bodywork, I gotta see this one through ... and white F2/3 wheels ... shawiiiiiiiiing. B)

The link about "re-sizing" also includes saving the image in the "JPEG" format, which works well in forum threads.
