Nicely done! That is a good looking monster cafe racer. The only thing I would suggest is swap out the airbox for some pods. Saves weight and more power. Both ideal in a true cafe bike 
Looks good though. Way better than a stock "L", forgive me for doubting your ability

Pods would be nice but from what i've read they can be a pain. PO installed a vance and hines 4-1 and I don't know what he has done to the carbs. Wouldn't it need jetted or something?

Yea you would most likely have to change the jets for pods to run properly. But it would be cool. Something to think about for future upgrades maybe.

Very nice bike....I just purchased an '82 1100 GK and was thinking of a modified cafe project. You have given me a ton of good ideas

I have almost eliminated my back firing by doing a once over the airbox.
I applied new weather stripping, found my stock air filter wasn't seated in it's cradle on the left side of the box. Checked airbox boots and tightened all exaust bolts. That vance and hines 4-1 is an awsome sounding pipe I have to say.

Well since the bike will be down for a couple days I've removed all the case covers, headlight ring, chrome bolts and cam covers. I don't want chrome on the bike so I'm sanding these chrome parts to look like brushed aluminum. It takes alot of time to remove the old clearcoat.

That would have been easier. But I have them all done.

I've also toyed with putting the front fender on...cut up of course.

Ill maybe get in to getting the fender shaped and mounted tomorrow...been under the weather. I cut all new gaskets for side cases with th 1/32 (12" x 36" roll) from Advanced Auto. Only $6.40. Side cases are back on. I don't like the way the connections look for the stator wires to the harness so I might just hard wire them too.

I must say I was broken hearted when I saw what you were gonna cut up. I have a real fondness for the 1100 L, dream bike as a 16 y/o. I must say though you have done it justice, nice, very nice indeed...:clap:
