Re: New here and very happy to find the forum.
Hey guys. Thanx for all the nice observations. I bought the bike like this. The wheels are chromed and I am working on polishing the frame and swingarm. As for the mirrors, they were taken off the bike to get painted. I like it. I am adding a lower bellypan fairing that is getting painted black. It is going to have some chromed lettering on it. I will post new pics.

Quick helpful tip for you (since we do alot of these at the shop), get the swingarm chrome plated instead of polished. It may cost more up front, but the headache saved compared to having it polished is well worth it. You will constantly be trying to keep up with it if you polish it. Plus it will have to be re-polished every season to keep it looking good. Chrome it once, then all yo have to do is wipe it down to keep it clean.

Nice lookin' ride. I've got an XX too. The two are a perfect combination:
XX - for touring, 'Hawk for commuting.
Visit www.cbr1100xx.org/forum too, it's also a good place to hang
