1982 Honda CB900F

This 1982 CB900F was found in 2001. It was purple when I got it, but eventually it will be repainted it to the standard silver and blue scheme. The purple paint was done pretty well and it has grown on me (a little). Several people suggest I leave like it is with the Vance & Hines pipe. If I can find a nice stock exhaust, I'll put that back to stock. The engine seems to be OK other than the nature of the powerband. The valve shims needed attention right away, and the chain, etc.

The odometer reads about 10000 miles, but I think it was run hard in the past. It is a lively ride, and really comes alive at about 50 mph, whereupon you better be holding on to the bars. Anyway, I'm not into racing and I don't see many of these bikes around (usually only cruisers, Harleys and the Starboyz types who are from my area), so I'm gonna reverse the modificatons a little at a time, and ride it all I can.
