Shifting sucks 1978 CB400A. these pics are from the day i put some Sportster mufflers on. the PO scrapped the rusted-out originials before I bought it. it needs some tank paint, a seat recover, and a new CDI.
My 99' 600F4. Checking valves, new plugs, replaced a couple cracked vacuum lines, air filter, prefilters and fuel filter. Ran good before doing that...runs great now!
23,300 miles. Nexxus pipes, s/s headers, wing-rack for luggage. I actually prefer the 1995/96 colour scheme (black/grey/yellow), but couldn't pass this up.
I have this bike 15yrs,the longest I've kept a road machine---- --CB1100RB here's to the next 15 yrs!!
Just recently sold this beauty, fortunately to a fellow Texan in Dallas.... I KNOW I will regret it someday.
Nice find Ray. Judging from the position of those bars, it looks like the riding position is very neutral and comfortable.
I see I'm going to have to read this whole thread...You all have some really nice bikes!! Here is a very brief summary of my affair with the CBR platform... First it was a new red 2006 600RR Then that bike became silver Then I sold that one and bought a new black 2007 600RR Which I had for exactly 4 years, 36,000 miles, raced it, was absolutely in love with it, and it eventually became this: Unfortunately, I had to sell it in 2011, before I embarked on a 16 month, solo bicycle tour of the entire USA. Got home a few months ago, and last Saturday I went down to LA to buy this 2008 600RR, with 620 miles on it: I rode it home 8 days ago, and immediately tore it down to the motor+frame, and have been meticulously rebuilding it to my standards. I will finish the rebuild tomorrow.
Here is my current set up with a picture from a recent trip to test out my stuff before a trip next month out west. It is lacking tent /sleeping bag in this photo. This is my main transportation as I haven't had a serious car for several years. The rear luggage is currently a permanent set up. It is fairly stock, aside from the mix of aftermarket/oem bodywork and luggage. I didn't feel the need for to many mods with this motorcycle, just the urge to ride. <a href="http://s1295.photobucket.com/user/DestinationUnknown2013/media/Florida/DSC01990_zpsa546a357.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/b623/DestinationUnknown2013/Florida/DSC01990_zpsa546a357.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo DSC01990_zpsa546a357.jpg"/></a> This was my first sportbike.
