Thought I would share a couple of shots of my perfect 2014. I picked her up as a leftover last year for $6,199. I've added a few touches such as the Corbin in black leather with red stitching to pick up the pinstripe on the tank, OEM engine guards, a chrome chain guard, and an Arrow Pro Race full exhaust system. The Arrow Pro is awesome and allows me to swap the baffle in and out in a minute or so depending on how I feel for the day. Without the baffle at 6,000+ on the tach she really howls. With the baffle she has a nice studly low rumble a bit louder than stock. The bike runs crisper and cleaner with the system and hopefully the headers won't discolor as much as the stock system. If they do I'll get them powder coated.
Your bike looks magnificent, Willmarth

Where did you get the chain guard from?
Clean - very nice! Please give us a long term evaluation, perhaps after next riding season.

Thanks Cormanus. I love the 1100. I also have this madman CB1000R crazed juvenile delinquent ride.

RE CB1000R: I think your slip-on looks better than the 2018 OEM.

Agreed. That is a 3/4 Yoshimura system eliminating the cat by the way. I much prefer the original made in Italy CB1000R to the new model. Though the new model has some higher tech such as rider modes, Honda dispensed with the hydraulic clutch and aluminum frame. I'll keep mine thank you. My CB1100 & CB1000R are keepers forever. Though other bikes are free to come and go.
Good looking bike. That chain guard REALLY stands out on the all black CB. Looks righteous!

Bah. I am not sure how many riders use the rider modes anyhow on a standard shifter arrangement. I would understand on "automatic" arrangements, but who switches from normal/road/touring mode to sport mode then suddenly to rain mode on clutch-based systems? Not much missed there. The hydraulic clutch absence could be something missed.
