Hello all, I've been gleaning information from the forums here for a while now, I thought I'd better introduce myself. My name is Mike, I live in Sioux Falls, SD, and I got my hands on a 81 CB900c about 2 months ago. It's my second bike, my last was a KZ750, I'm liking this one alot better. Haven't done much with the motor, she seems to run great (probobly better once I get the carbs synched a little more) A few cosmetic mods were done, a friend of mine and I built the luggage rack, sissy bar and saddle bag holders on a saturday, it's rock solid. Added the driving lights last weekend, it's nice to have lights that turn with the handle bars, as well as the fairing light staying with the bike, I can see everything. Added some automotive horns as well, the cage drivers around here are idiots (just like everywhere). I suppose I've droned on long enough, hopefully the link to the pics shows up. Thanks for posting all the technical stuff, It's come in handy and I'm sure it will again.
Mike

Welcome to DOHC Customs!!! 8)
And remember that you can only ride a motorcycle and drive a cage.
They are riding or running lights on a motorcycle not driving lights.

posted your location right off the bat, posted pictures of your bike without us asking you to, and you can fabricate a decent looking luggage rack to boot. i cant even make fun of you for being from NoDak. welcome Laughing

Welcome. Good to see another member from the Dakota's. Seems like there are very few of these bikes this far landlocked, but that's why I like mine. I don't see other people riding my motorcycle like all the Hardley riders.
