The CB1100 Community Forum

Silas -

Eagerly awaiting pictures, especially of the black Hagofuku mirrors. They cost less than the Honda CB500
mirrors I went with and are indeed beautiful. I'll also be interested in functionality. The CB500 mirrors are great but they really stick out beyond the handlebars and make it hard to get the bike through the door.

The reason why i like these from the pictures is because the sit low but away from the grip and when i finally put more of a cafe bar on the bike they will sit almost the same height as the gauges.

If you look at the chrome version of this tank on samurider, you can see what i'm talking about.

We wanna see it!

My plan next month is to get the Moriwaki step kit.

Soon, I need the center stand to do the swingarm first, then exhaust.

Those rear-sets are sweet and you can flip the shifter for GP shifting. I tried it stock, works but your foot hit the shift arm to easily so I flipped it back.

What swing arm did you get?! Also have you used the Moriwaki step kit or are you saying that we can do this with our current set up?

Over Type 7 arm, plain unbraced w/o the quick lifts.

I have not used a CB1100 set but one advantage is that they are designed to work with both patterns.
Just flipping the arm works with the stock parts but the shift arm itself ends up parallel to the shifter end. Which makes it easy to hit both parts while pushing down on the the lever. Pulling up on the shifter or down-shifting the trans works OK, just not down for up-shifts.........???

hahahaha thanks for the possible tweak idea

Hey Silas,

My mirrors just showed up today, I'm always surprised how fast they get here. Finish is satin which should match the rest of the black components on the bike. The glass is also slightly convex which I like. Are you not happy with your current bar ends?

Yea, (i think mine will show up today or tomorrow) I just don't like looking down to see what is behind me.

Not the greatest pictures of these mirrors. I have some adjusting to do tonite, but I wanted to show you how slick these are!

I also now need new grips.... hahahaha the vicious cycle!

More pictures.

A little weird for me seeing mirrors up there again, but they fit so well and are so easy to see and look at.
