Very nice. Can I ask where you got your tank wing decals? I just got the same style from a seller on eBay and they are crap. Nasty, cheap printing and poorly proportioned . It looked like a 1" long decal had been scanned, stretched & printed on a crappy inkjet.

I'm seeing if I can get a refund but I won't be holding my breath.

Thanks a lot guys, the compliments are well received and appreciated. 
@ mrrch - The tank is off an 82 cb750 F and i think the 900 is the same.  Mounting was fairly simple.  The tank uses the same rubber front mounts but you have to fab your own rears.  I brazed some nuts on the inside at the low point and used the airbox mounts.

@hondamatteo - Im near Ikea, we meet up Sunday mornings at Prado Cafe on Commercial @5th. Pm me if you want to join for a ride.

@greenjeans - Sorry mate, no thread but i did do 98% of the work so if you would like to ask questions, i have answers.

@ lippy - The decal is a three color in laid vinyl.  I sourced them from http://www.xtremedecals.com/  Ive used them four times, recommended.


LOl  Thanks Tige.
Thanks again guys.

Very cool wookie! I'm always out that way cause that's where my parents place is AKA garage where I store my bike and do all my work! Still finishing up the last of my winter projects on it but will hopefully have it on the road soon! We'll have to hook up then.

Thanks Bart!
Early in July i have put together a 3 day ride for Tweakin, brandEn, Funjimmy and myself thru winthrop, the bc okanagen, and to whistler for the sea to sky return route.  Should be around 1500kms of the best roads around.  If this is successful maybe an annual event could be in order.
