Streetfighter you have been busy and it shows. Bike looks great. I love the seat. Will definitely consider that for my DLX. Thanks for posting pictures.

No worries! I liked that they were more traditional and mounted to the frame and not the aluminum engine.

Yeah I'm going broke but, honestly there are only a few more mods I want to do.

The seat of okay but, it is kind of stiff so, consider that when you buy it.

I did take it on a 440 mile trip over the holidays and I had to shift quite a bit to make it work comfortably.
How is the performance of the 2 bro's exhaust? I've heard rumors it robs power.

I've heard it takes a while for your butt to break in with a Corbin lol

Dyno Run: https://youtu.be/XV2N6bP33ck

Based upon the YouTube dyno run, it is one of the very few that actually adds meaningful power (9 HP & 5.5 Ft-Lbs). I just couldn't bring myself to disrupt the CBs vintage design with a modern exhaust can, much less carbon fiber. But, for those after that look, it is a winner.

There's no way just a slip on adds that much power. Yes, the manufacturer will quote that, but no person will ever see that on an honest dyno run.
Like those crash bars. Like the fact that they don't bolt to the engine cases. They remind me of the old BMW Airhead crash bars.
I only ask, cause I've read a few CB1100 owners unhappy with it. One claiming power loss.

Yea that would be some substantial gains from just a bolt on muffler. Heck, that would be substantial gains from a complete system. I'd be more inclined to believe those numbers if I saw an independent dyno chart verifying that. That video didn't show anything. Basically it was a sound check. No one on this forum has been able to repeat those gains. We have a dyno results thread someplace. Plus 9 hp would put a CB1100 in the 96 hp category.

They showed the dyno run chart. But, I am not inclined to believe it.
