The only real issue I've had with Honda's execution of the original CB1100 was the cheap looking plastic left side cover. Last week I ordered a 2014 DLX side cover from Bike Bandit and I installed it today. What a difference, really looks great I think and money well spent. Shame on Honda for placing such cheap crap on what is a first rate bike. I used a nut and some Loc-tite with the OE bolt to cover the lower hole in the new cover. I found it necessary to place a hard rubber grommet on the lower bolt mount, where the lower bolt would fasten with the original cover in place, to offset the slight movement in that area.
