Let’s be honest here, I haven’t much of a clue as to what this bike is made of. No carbs? Right? Fuel injected correct?
air filter?
What should I change on my bike when I get my new 2014 CB1100 dlx? I was thinking to start new tires and a k and n filter. Eventually down the road I plan to get a new exhaust system for sound. Because this will be a bike I plan to have forever.. any one have any thoughts?
Replace the tires (you'll find your choices to be limited), but keep the OEM air filter. It works fine. The DLX exhausts will be unobtanium in a few years, so if you decide to replace them, I'd suggest not selling them.
What LR said. The K&N is a waste of time and money. And yeah its fuel injected
I like Angel GT tires. Most here like Michelin PR3s (if you can find them) for high mileage. The Pirelli GTs grip like nobodies business but don’t last long. I don’t care. I want grip!
And the first mod should be RLETS or a padawan learner you will be.
Nick and welcome
ohh boy.. here we go with the RLETs.. haha.. a big welcome Nick from California..
Ride it a while, Nick! You will probably end up with a list of your own, which may evolve as you become more familiar with the machine and how it works for you. Mods have ranged from cafe to sidecar. I am fond of my windscreen, some think it ruins the aesthetics.
Kinda wish I had installed engine guards BEFORE dropping the bike in my driveway!

I agree with ben.. take your time.. maybe browse around this forum for ideas ..

I'd say ride it a few months determined not to change a thing. Let the bike speak to you. Do you really need to change x, y or z? Example, you might initially think its sound is too...what? Quiet? Low key? Maybe in a 1000 miles or 2 you'll find that you kind of enjoy its sound. Why not at least give it a good chance? You might save yourself some real $$$.
Nick: Now you have done it. Your question illicited a response regarding RLETs. By inadvertently doing this, ... gosh, ... I'm not sure how this will turn out.
Maybe nothing will happen. [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/member.php?action=profile&uid=3454]PB did not counter popgun, so let's hope for [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b98YFK5Oubo]Peace In The Valley.
