93 1000F from FL
Here's my 93 1000F. I picked it up back in 2000 with 3300 miles cheap. Just flipped 105,000 miles and the engine and clutch have never been opened.... factory stock. In 2008 I rode Tampa, FL to New Orleans, then followed the Great River Road to Northern MN and had to replace a rear tire on the way back through Milwaukee, WI. The mechanic thought the cam chain tensioner was going to fall out but I made it home and have ridden a couple more trips to Deal's Gap and a run up the Blue Ridge Parkway from N to S and it's still working. I've over taxed the electrical system and had a melt down a couple years back which took out the voltage regulator, starting relay, and part of the wiring harness. I fixed and re-wired myself and after another 15,000 miles one of the connectors melted and stranded the wife and I in Asheville, NC so she wants something new for this fall's trip to the gap, but I got it fixed and we're running the Natchez Trace Parkway this summer.
The Corbin seat makes long hauls comfortable, worth the couple of $$ to get rid of the moon boot stock seat. Added the Givi bags, 3/4" risers on the bars, tall windshield, aftermarket horns and driving lights, a cross bar for the GPS and ipod, and connections for the heated gear. http://www.admorelighting.com/ makes LED brake/turn signals for the Givi cases. Great for rear visibility.
Hope you like a road warrior cause it only gets washed when we get caught riding in the rain and the front end get's sand blasted from the trucks on the highway.
Great book to follow if you're going to ride the G.R.R. (Feasting on Asphalt: The River Run, by Alton Brown - Good Eats on Food TV). Every place in the book that I stopped was great and some of the best people to meet.
I didn't know how to put captions on the pictures but there's the run through Deal's gap a couple years back, the LED lights in the Givi cases, the wife ready to roll, the St. Louis arch on my GRR trip, and loaded up and ready to ride to the 2009's deals gap run. Might have to start shipping some of the extra gear

Very nice, man!! Welcome aboard!
That's a good chunk of asphalt you've covered on the old girl.
Sucks you had those electrical issues, though. Seems to be getting more and more people as time goes on. Such a stupid design on Honda's part.... so many failures much like yours.
Anyway, good to have you here!
