1981 Honda CB900F

A good friend of mine purchased this 1981 CB900F new when he was living in Edmonton, Alberta in the early 80s. When he bought it, it was stock except for the Hannigan Sport/Touring fairing, superbike handlebars and luggage carrier. He rode it to the west coast and back to Ontario but didn't ride it much after that. In 1989 (after years of badgering), he sold it to me. I rode it as it was until 1999 when I decided it needed a new look and more power. I stripped it to the frame, had it powder coated, had the bodywork painted in a matching base/clearcoat finish (I believe that the colour match was from an old International Harvester colour chip), added a quarter fairing, installed a Dynojet stage 3 kit, Vance & Hines exhaust and Avon Super Venom tires. The motor was still running strong so it was left. It just turned 46,000km and has never had a problem. Right now, I'm trying to decide if I'll sell it or upgrade it... my skills and need for speed have eclipsed my faithful but aging CB's present capabilities.
