Well I had been casually looking for one for a while. Wanted a blue one, the fastest of the bunch.
Had the CBX project kicking my butt and the never ending 750 project so I started looking around more for a "daily rider". Was really pissed I sold my beautiful 450, but the inches of 20s made that better. During all the commotion and lack of a riding bike the chopper came into my garage. Had wanted that bike for YEARS so when it came into my garage I needed room and money so the cbx left, I think it is in Japan now. Figured I would use the chopper......until the cam chain tensioner gave up the ghost...
One day on the local VinMoto list a member posted a few bikes for sale, one of them a blue 1100f. He had a fair price and the bike seemed like it would work perfectly. He even road it down from northern CT to Long Island. Not perfect, but a good rider, just what I was looking for.
So far here is the list of things the bike could use
-bath
-clutch cable adjustment
-fork seals, maybe forks....
-replace gasket on left side of motor to fix oil leak
-new rear shocks(not needed but wanted)
Few things I want
-F2 wheel swap
-engine crash bars
-rearsets
-renthal streetfighter bars
-SS Supertrapp pipe
-dyna 2000
-smoothbores
-1125 kit
-chin fairing
But baby steps.
Probably nothing that keeps the bike off the road for more then 24 hours until the winter.
