Great idea, hello...

No shit... carried over to the GL's in '80... THANK GOD! That boxer 1100 would be a BITCH to hoist out of the frame without it!

Engine looks wonderful, what did you paint it with? Really shiny.

Thank you. I used Duplicolor high heat engine silver and Rustoleum Cast Coat Iron

I have completed the bike for the season. Spent a wonderful 150 miles yesterday in the sun and the bike ran perfect. I still have more mods planned like a nice 4 into 1 exhaust and paint and some other bits but it is good enough for this season.

Stopped for a break on a brisk ride today. It was fun cruising the twisties looking at the Autumn colors.

Yogi I like the bike! I have an 80 cb750c and I have been racking my brain on how to fab the seat/frame/tail section. Yours looks good, I might steal your look there ;D You got any close ups of the tailights? How you mounted, where you bought etc? Any help/info would be great. Thanks

Thanks Morgan . It wouldn't be the first time haha. I'll snap a pic of the tail lights and mounting for you. They are just Harley bullet style turn signals with the bulbs changed out to red.

 

[YogiBear]

The mounting is through the holes in the frame that hold the rear fender in stock form. I used some rubber washers in between the lights and frame.

Recently I added some Biltwell Recoil grips. They are contoured and fit my hands well. I'm stoked to try them out on a long ride.

 

[Morgan24]

Sweet Yogi, thanks for showing those taillight setup. Love the new grips. Looking good man!

[YogiBear]

Thanks man . They are drag bars

Thanks . There is still more to do (isn't there always ) Yours looks like it's going to turn out well with the benji's seat and frame hoop.

thanks, it has been torn down for a year now, getting close to finishing.

I added a new, taller rear tire. I went from a 140/70-17 to a 130/90-17. What a difference it made too. The extra height made the bike look and sit alot better. I also added some new rearsets which also improved the looks of the bike overall. Next up is the exhaust. I have a Kerker four into one I will be installing after ceramic coating and building or buying a muffler.

Glad the rearsets laced up nicely for you. And, nice bike!
