New toys! Warning: Not a SOHC4....
« on: October 21, 2016, 07:19:07 AM »
Still Cool tho!

Scored these two 1983 CB1100F's last night. Gonna be a project for my brother and I. They have been sitting for about 20 years but at least the owner knew to drain the carbs. Red one fired up but the blue I amgoing to wait on as the tank and carbs need a thorough cleaning.

Sorry for the bad pictures. It was late

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.

The Red is in much better condition then the Blue cosmetically. Only a few dents on the tank and front cowl if you catch them in the right light. The tank was also creamed.

Sweet, congrats. I have always liked the 1100F.

this thread needs to move to the Other Bikes board though.

I actually made an account over there a few days ago while doing some research. Great people over there.
