RE: That ugly round blank on the throttle body
Cool what you did to cover that blank space.
Until I saw this thread I had never even noticed this blank spot, but now out of curiosity I looked for it.
Yep, it's there alright, but hardly anything that concerns me at all.
And yes, I'm one of those who doesn't feel properly dressed unless there are bills in my wallet and change in my pocket - and plastic too
Cash is good anywhere. Being able to use plastic isn't always available in some remote areas, but everyone understands cash
Still rockin', rollin', and ridin' after all these years

How about a CB1100 Forum Coin ? Here is one company: http://custom.nwtmint.com/products_coins.php
Great addition for the Forum Store

I like it! I wonder how expensive that would be and the minimum number of coins they'd be able to mint.

I think a Mikuni, Kehin or the like, or a Honda logo would suit me just fine. Double stick automotive trim tape or a dab of silicon. Great idea.

RE: That ugly round blank on the throttle body
I never noticed this spot before. But once seen, I couldn't avoid seeing it every time I looked at the right side of the bike.
I found a cure, filing one side of a quarter smooth, painting it black, and gluing it into place. Much less annoying now. Whew!

That gives me an idea. I might paint the quarter with anodized red paint and it'll match the oil filler plug I bought off you a while back.
