The CB1100 Community Forum

My CB shares a space with two cars which I share with a colleague. The blue one is a Porsche 356 replica. Underneath the fibreglass body is a cut down 70's VW Beetle chassis with new running gear and a flat four air-cooled 1600cc engine. That is mated to the original 70's four speed gearbox. Apparently these gearboxes are indestructible so new ones are not required.

The cream car is a 1952 MG TD with new fangled water-cooling and an engine in the front, weird huh! It is actually a great runner and I have kept the points and condenser setup and the original +ve earth wiring. The only upgrade was to fit a relay circuit to power some modern headlamp bulbs.

I had a 2017 black Mazda mx5 hard top for 50k miles since new. Great car. Virtually traded it for a low mile decked out 2013 harley ultra limited. Waiting for the goldwing prices to drop a little then I will snag a manual tour version. No car right now just bikes, kind of like it that way.

The harley has taken some getting used to, with the weight, how loud it is, fuel consumption. It makes me appreciate the cb1100 even more.

How long have you had the H1. Always wanted one back when I was a kid. If I had got one then, I made not be here now....
