That was a funny picture to me as well. Just a couple days ago my Kerker was dangling from a cedar tree in my front yard as I gave it a new paint job. Couldn't help but think of Billie Holiday... Strange Fruit...   Shocked

Got out on the '02 CB-900F.  It's Grand Dad is a Classic from '82.  We just have to wait a few more years.  Shake down cruise after doing chain lube, etc.  l have it set up for 'solo' touring as it sits.  I'm heading over to Falkland for Lunch at the "PUB" at 1:30 pm Tomorrow, Tuesday, March 17.  Anyone from the group that can get away for a few hours is welcome.  I need a longer highway run to see how my modifications will work out.

  Well done Ron.
   Try to avoid the top heaviness. I see a lot of stuff up high on it. Don't want to build another Concours.

I like it!
Looks like a perfect fast/light weight solo sport touring setup.
The top box might be the same one I have on the VFR....maybe one size smaller, but the backrest and rack are the same. Nice unit.
I am sure you are going to love that rascal.

My Kerker up for another coat of VHT. Smiley



While in Victoria last week, my buddies conspired to set me up with a pair of S&W Street Strokers. I've been looking for these shocks for quite a while and I couldn't believe how nice they turned out! Cool



Before


After




And best of all, they work beautifully! There aren't any issues with leaking seals and they ride much nicer than the stockers! Smiley
A huge thanks to Trevor and Rob (azr). The beer is definitely on me when you guys come up for a visit! Grin
