CB1100F Poster Art.

Posted: Thu Jul 14, 2016 7:07 pm

Looking for something like this, but for our CB-F bike. Preferably a 1100 CA / EU (without the US fairing) w/ stock dual exhaust. I can use my own bike for the 4-1 exhaust, but looking for someone with the dual can stock exhaust. It's for an art thing.

The angle is important, want to capture something exactly like this. Highest resolution picture possible. Thanks in advanced!

Yes Jeff,In my opinion the exhaust that looks the most like the Original for a reasonable price.

Ok, so remember a long time ago when I was working on an art thing? While working on a t-shirt it finally sparked an idea that helped me get through a really bad creative block. I was stuck at the uncompleted work for a while. I went through 27 different designs until i landed on this one and I accidentally finished the 3 poster series while trying to figure out a t-shirt design. ( I have a t shirt design picked out, just working on cleaning the details).

I'm in the middle of sourcing a really nice textured paper, so once I find something I like, I'll do a test print. I haven't seen any art for our bikes so I wanted to do a modern take on it.

The elements of the poster are:
Honda in Kanji, Honda in english.
Top right the circle represents the rising sun of Japan, while displaying the year the bike was first released.
The bikes technical specs from the FSM for each corresponding bike.
I associated the 1100 with the red theme, the 900 with the blue, and the 750 with the black.
Cb1100f/cb900f/cb750f at the bottom.
my logo
vintage series
001/020 number series on the bottom right.

It's a preview, so it's low quality.

Would anyone even be interested? Not sure if this style is everyone's taste. haha, if not I'll just print a set for me as I really wanted something to hang in my garage.

Cool! However, weren't the 750 and 900 round mirrors though?

i can only speak for the 900, but you're right, they were round. Thanks for that, fix incoming!

I don’t think Honda corporate has ever used ‘本田’ in any sort of marketing, most commonly it’s ‘Honda’ and rarely as written as ‘ホンダ’ on some older parts lists and service manuals for the Japanese domestic market. In fact the only usage I could find is in ‘本田技研工業株式会社’ which is the legal name of Honda Motor in Japan.

I originally had it as ホンダ, but figured the kanji would be more "professional." I personally like the katakana version better, so I may swing to that especially is there are some older parts list and manuals with it.

Thanks Rick!
