Re: She's running.....
Looking good! I'd say you have an interesting mix of parts there. The rear rim looks to be from a '78-79, and the rear brake caliper from an '80-81. If you haven't made these mods, you should be cautious if/ when you need to repair or replace anything. There are several differences in the brake systems between years pin the 1100's. Just an FYI.
Enjoy the ride!

Re: She's running.....
Actually, I believe that is an inverse Comstar. Looks like somebody might’ve just stripped it down to the bare aluminum?
But I have to admit being a little bit bothered by the backwards Honda wing on the left side shelter. I think that’s a right hand decal...
Regardless, that is a very smart looking motorcycle. I like that look.
