Not really, I'm thinking about a small screen but I don't really like the look of them.

I polished the front one but the rear wheel was powder coated and I couldn't be bothered to sand it so I got Auto Colour Matrix to polish it and paint them.

I think it was about $400, polished and painted.

LeeGood looking bike there leenok, I see some similarities to the Honda Blackbird swingarm & frame. Apparently they go like a rocket! :spudbn:

Do you have a before picture of it?

four cyclinder 1100? what do the exhausts make is sound like?

I'll try and find a "before piccy".
The cans are not too loud, just nice!

It's basically a naked Blackbird with the engine reworked for more torque.

Very nice looking bike Lee. How much of the plastic stuff on the front of the motor is aftermarket?

Hey Zed

was that you i approached in jervois? i was the coppa, had just done an armed pullover of a truck, came to talk to you about your bike?

You wandered across and spoke to me in Ponsonby the other day.

Also spoke with another cop at a check point in Western Springs a short while ago. He gave me a bit of a wind up about the damage and told me to go clean it. Wondered if it was someone from here.

I thought he said his name was Zed...the guy i talked to i was only talking about his bike, said i liked it, wasnt "being a cop" just a biker to a biker.(even though i was in a patrol car)

the damage? clean what?Not I sir! I am concerned however that there is another "Zed" around town riding an awesome bike that I don't know about! I usually don't introduce myself as Zed either, unless it's a KB event. :blink:

Nice bike. Tell me, I remember that when the Blackbird was released (don't know if it was changed on later models) they had no adjustment for the front suspension. Is this the same for the X-11? And what was Honda's reasoning?

Did they consider the front kit to be good enough? Did they believe that owners would only stuff up the front settings? (As being a sports-tourer style bike few owners would look to improve the suspension for that extra sec off their lap times.)

I don't know Honda's reasoning but no, there is no adjustment on the front suspension.
