I finally finished up the installation of the newly refurbished carbs, gave the CB1100F a good electric tuneup (plugs and wires) and got the old beast running! After some nasty chuffs, pops, rattles and a couple of metal-on-metal sudden stops that scared me, it is running nice. I took it out for a quick ride to the nearest gas station and put in some fresh gas. Then out on a freeway for some good exercise.
It runs great. I think I might transfer my tank bag to it and take it for a long ride tomorrow.
I'll post pictures later but there is no point, as most of you have seen it all already. The red variety. It is 100% stock, and all original, including exhaust, mirrors, and bars. The only thing not original is the seat cover but it is the OEM replacement. It is in what I call 10 Foot Condition, meaning any closer than 10 feet and the cracks in the plastic, the scuff marks and the goobered-on black Rustoleum on the engine can be seen.
Surprisingly it rides rather nice, albeit a tad.....well....."aggressive." My usual ride is a Triumph T120 Bonneville with clutch assist, electronic fuel injection, and quite a bit lighter. It will take some time.
It feels good to be amomg the living. |

Congratulations on the hard work and perseverance. Always good news to see another 1100f restored to running order. |
