Not really.  My tank was more tear drop, and the forks did not have the rubber.  The seat was different too.

Sounds like one of the old Twin Stars

That PC needs to be ridden  ???
One of the most underrated motorcycles Honda has ever produced.
Also a bear to change the battery on  :)

I found the PC 2 1/2 years ago it was a garage Queen. Had 10.700 miles on it when I found it. I keep a battery tender pig tail on the battery!

Always wanted a Unigo, but hauled too much "stuff".
I know every person I ever talked to with one raved on them.

So the passenger back rest on these things look unbelievably comfortable.  Anyway that could be accomplished for the driver?

If you look at my Orange one I've put an aftermarket backrest on the Drivers part which makes it a pretty comfortable setup.

+ one on the back rest added one to mine and the 1300. Made a big difference on our trip, with added foot pegs just put your feet on up put on cruise control on those long stretch of roads and enjoy the views  :cool:

the 1800 hold appx 6 gal, at 40mpg, so around 200+ miles a tank. On our trip the 1300 have a 4 gal tank, so we were stopping at around 160-180 miles to fill up. Learned a lot on that trip, like in Oregon, we were not allowed to fill our own tanks and the gas nozzle in CA had those black rubber guards so it made it hard to fill the tank.

Ok, I'm going to get windy now.
Ya'll have forced me to dig up a couple thumb drives, which barely scratch the surface.

Motorcycles is something I use to take very seriously, the saying, eat, sleep, live.
Two years ago with no PARTICULAR individual reason, I decided to hang the helmet up.
With texting, laptops, and all around STUPID driving habits people have adopted, it isn't safe
to drive in a tank anymore, let alone a motorcycle.
I have over 500,000 SAFE miles on motorcycles. Been in 48 states, and my only regret is I never made it
to Alaska on a bike. On the plus side my wife has been on the back for about 300,000 of those miles.

Were both have multiple Iron Butt certificates, and paperwork around somewhere that was filled out and never
sent for a couple more. Just didn't feel the need.
I started riding street bikes when I was 18, on a Yamaha TX750.

This bike started my touring bug, my brand new XS1100 Yamaha. This picture was taken overlooking Golden CO

The ST1100 I bought to commute between home (N ark) and Iowa every two weeks.
Bought it in KC MO, snow storm that night, headed to friends in Louisiana, unloaded it
and ran around the gulf coast for a week. Loved that bike when I could get away by myself.

Agree 100% on the STUPID drivers that have no respect for motorcycles, that's one reason I have cut down on my touring as well.

This picture is of the wife and I heading out on our 25th anniversary run 9 years ago.
Packing was a challenge. We camped out with friends, got on a cruise ship for a week,
hooked up with more friends to camp for a few days afterwards.
