I want the side scoops from a GL1100 but they seem rare and expensive here in the UK. On the other hand CX500 parts are littering the streets due to the fact we dispatched them to death.
And if you wanna see one of the most dangerous thankless jobs out there then Google, London Dispatch Rider.
Anything can be made to fit anything.

Should I use 10w or 15w and what would be the difference in the heaver oil?
Honda recommmends ATF which is about 7 1/2 so 10 would be a little stiffer and 15 would be really stiff.

Flat fours are distinctive in sound. I used a tractor to describe mine at lower rpm too.
