Impressive fiberglass work will be perfect when painted.

Re: My CBX1000C Restore Project
Before I read this, if someone asked me if I can make stuff out of fiberglass, I would have answered "yes". Now my answer is "kinda".
Great work, Ken. Can't wait to see it all finished.

Re: My CBX1000C Restore Project
Thanks everyone.
I finally got enough time to make the left hand mould and get all the preparation and painting done. All the hardware was also painted or polished.
Overall I am very pleased with the result. I know it wont be to everyone's taste but I think it gives the bike more 'presence' from the rear and makes the panniers more usable, albeit within the weight limit.
Apologies for the poor photos, terrible weather today here, I will try to get the bike outside for some decent photographs soon.
I have gone with the standard scheme but added a Honda logo - Next up is to look at removing the fairing and designing something that will mount the existing turn signals and act as a headlamp shell, I have it worked out in my head just got to draw it then print.

Bravo! I have toured on my Prolink and this would have made it just a bit more enjoyable. Great project done.

Re: My CBX1000C Restore Project
Nice job on the bags. I have used bag lids from a different Honda model - do not remember which one - and adapted them to my 81 Prolink. They are wider than stock, not as wide as these, but make a difference when you want to pack a little more!
I remember Bill Brint has/had a real nice top-case on his private '81.

Re: My CBX1000C Restore Project
Thank you everyone
Set off on a nice sunny Autumn day with the intention of getting some nice scenic photos but the weather changed very quickly and dramatically, well I am in Scotland
So this is all I have got up to now to show the panniers in better lighting conditions -

Very nicely done. I like the way you used the black inner half of the cases (panniers)
to shrink the visual size. Over all it looks very unique.
