I've had this 1981 CB900C project bike for almost two years now, it's just about done. When I got it, it came with a beat up fairing kit that made it look like a gold wing, but I chose to take it off and make it stock again. In case anybody is wondering, undoing the wiring harness and making it back to original wasn't as bad as it seems. You just have to crimp new connections on a lot of the wires, and remove a few vampire connectors.
The only thing that's left is getting new calipers. The ones that came with the bike were damaged/corroded beyond repair. Before I order new ones, I noticed that the 1982 models had dual piston calipers instead of the single piston ones that I had. I called up the guy who was selling them and he told me that they wouldn't work on my 81 model because the mount brackets are different. He also seemed to think that the bottom ends of the forks were different too.
Can anyone confirm this about the forks? I'd prefer to go with dual piston calipers as long as I don't have to change the ends of the forks. I also think they look better too.
PS:The exploded view on bikebandit.com seems to be identical for the 81 and 82 models.
