" Why does anyone get offended by what someone does to their own bike? I dont get it. "

You made me think about it after I cheered knowing someone else would like to know what these control freaks are up to.
 Every time any owner strips whatever precious Honda part the horrified purists parts go up in value. That's not the part that bothers them.
 What bothers them is they sat up late at night, their breast full of wonder and estrogen, unable to sleep, dreaming about their lovely darling and all her glory... and next thing you know someone else doesn't share their emotional deluge and their reaction is they must spread their mind museum as far as they possibly can, taking over as much of the real world as possible.

Yeah that's what my dad said too..I'm not sure though..that cb tank isn't the correct year for the bike..its a lil bit too wide at the front.the lil rubber dounuts don't reach the groovs inside the tank.the frame is 76 and the tank is older..so either way I have to do some modifications to get a tank to work..

Stocker by a mile.   The first one just looks odd and out of place.  Too short and the proportions are all wrong.

I like the stock as well. The other one is too tall at the front and a bit bulbous.
