Small details, but globaly: a great bike 
How does one "win" a '17 RS? Cereal box flap?
Congrats by the way.

"OWN" not "won"
(is "stubby finger syndrom" a thing?)
Ha! An anagram. Good one jtopiso.
Can’t believe I didn’t mention I absolutely detest the taillight,it dominates the back end of the bike. I’m working on a modified OEM taillight that if it works out should be pretty trick.
Taillight is pretty old school, at least on the '14 model.
Zero complaints about the taillight. It looks great. It fits the theme of the bike.
The one thing I wish was different about the CB1100 is the most obvious one on my bike, a 2017 EX, which is the squealing brakes. This isn't a matter of aesthetics, or differing opinions. Brakes should never squeal, and Honda should fix this problem.

Heh, I am wondering if the original '69 CB750 had squealing brakes? Wouldn't that be a hoot if they did. Replicated!
1. I would like an additional 20 - 25 horsepower.
2. Remove some weight.
3. Improved suspension, both ends.
4. Delivered from dealer with a real tool kit.
5.The reversed positions of the horn and turn signal buttons on the LH switch (easily fixed by replacing with a 2013 model switch).

My 1976 CB750F had squealing brakes. Took it back to the dealer, and they could not fix it then. I fixed it myself with anti-squeal adhesive I got from a car shop. BTW -I still own this bike.
