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.

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

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.
