Bobber Restoration – Removal of the skull
The CB900c has a subtransmission which allows you to select between Hi and Low gear. Effectively this means that the bike has 10 gears total (though most don’t really use it this way). One of the previous owners thought it would be cool to swap the subtransmission selector with something a little more snazzy.

Now I’m sure some will like it, but I personally thought it was more in the way than anything else. So, I found a standard one and did the quick swap.

I think it looks much better (and the skull doesn’t keep bumping into my leg).
In addition, I noticed some issues with the readout on the speedometer. So I pulled the handle bar off and the speedometer/tachometer. I’ll disassemble it later and see what’s wrong.
