Hey everybody, good day.
New to the site. Just purchased a 2014 CB1100. Love it!
Shopping for fairings before the summer kicks in here in NY. Choices seem pretty limited. I only found one Japanese company. It appears Honda doesn't even make one. Any advice on where to purchase fairings for this bike would be appreciated.
Thanks, Chris
Howdy and welcome to the forum.
Welcome Chricm!
There are 2 main sites in Japan most of us use. Samurider (a forum sponser) and webike. The Road Comet 1 or 2 is nice.
There are a few other brands too, with pics scattered all over the forum. Search around, you'll find them! Heck, there are even a couple of old Windjammers installed.
Might add that you need to be more descriptive about what you want. Are you talking a fairing with a body and a shield, or just a shield, for touring, or cafe style?
I bought a quarter fairing - color matched to bike - with the taller tinted windscreen. Fit was excellent, mounting painless and quick, and color match perfect. Can see over screen just fine but it does reduce turbulence and wind noise without roasting me in the summer. My unsubstantiated opinion is that the tint helps reduce glare, subjective. Also think it looks pretty good.
Wait on shipment from Japan wasn't too bad and their communication was good.
Stateside vendors caring "stuff" for this bike don't really have much selection as to fairings and shields. Didn't want to "KLR" the looks with a cobbled together compromise.

Do you have any pics? What site and brand of fairing is it?
Hey everybody, thanks so much for the quick responses. I'm pretty much set on the comet 2 fairing from webike.com. I was just looking to see if there were more options stateside(USA). I was worried about matching the color but after a bit of searching I found it Graphite Black Honda paint NH-B01 on colorite.com.
So ill most likely be ordering the smoked normal windshield in graphite black.
thanks again

thanks man
Keep in mind that Chic builds these to order so delivery time can take a while. I think mine took a month, maybe a tad more.
