You wont believe what a pro gloss black paintjob and getting rid of that stupid can on my 4 into 1 did to this bike  ;D

Well, I for one am not going to be a part of this conspiracy! I am going to vote for the... er... um... well, I mean... okay, I'll vote for the CB... Damn...    ;)

That's a hell of a tough choice, too. Can I vote four times? This is like one of those trick multiple choice questions where there is no wrong answer, but no matter which one you pick, you keep looking at the other three. ("I like A. NO, B! No, C. No, A. No D!

Voted, obviously for the one I nominated ;D

PS: I loved the Linex'd tank Joe, but with that new one, and the smoothed top triple it looks beyond 8)

I bet it's just a tad loud with that modded pipe too ;D :o

pro... you gotta get some sorta flair for those pipes though... just something to make it look like an exhaust instead of stock headers w/ no muffler.  you know, like those exhaust tips they sell at auto parts stores?

obviously, my own opinion.   :)

Thats how it all started, but here in Chicago their are all kinda of bikes that show up to the Mods Vs. Rockers events. Everything from brit, Jap, Italian, etc all come out for the show..I def. was one of the first members of the club with a non-brittish bike to join, and now the other members are seeing the Honda light !  ;D
