Your bike looks fantastic. Bike porn at its finest. I have a '96 Sport 1100 and want to remove the fairing. I prefer the naked look and also like round headlights. If anyone can tell me what I need to do this, and where to get the parts I would appreciate it. I know I need headlight brackets and a 7" round headlight. What size brackets? I will also need to move the gauges higher, so they need to be mounted on something. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. There is a lot of extra grease around the shaft. Some is so old it looks crystallized. I just lubed it a couple days ago and was able to access the three nipples without too much trouble. It will probably be winter before I get to do this as it is at least 120 in my garage right now.

I bought a '96 Sport 1100 carb last October and it now has 45k miles on it. I really need to get the driveshaft out to clean it, but have no idea how to do it. I've downloaded a couple service manuals and done searches, but have not found a procedure to do the job. Will someone please point me to a thread which already discusses this or give me a pointer or two? I did buy the shop stand for it from MG Cycle. It barely gets the rear wheel off my garage floor though. I hate to take it to a dealer for this as I'm sure it will cost much more than I want to spend. I also prefer to do my own work if it isn't too overwhelming. Thanks.

I've got the same problem. It is nice to see I can use the rotors from so many different bikes. Great info!!
