My son in law ran into a good size pot hole and we tried to straighten the wheel, but it’s still not good. I know there’s places that can repair it, but I thought I’d see if somewhere might have one. Thanks

Honda India unveiled the CB500 yesterday.

Upon visual inspection, the oil filter I'm using for my 2025 Lexus ES 300H appears externally identical to the stock Honda oil filter. A Honda, OEM oil filter retails for $18.63 from my local dealer. The Toyota (Lexus) oil filter costs $6.99 from my local dealer, and they include a free oil drain plug gasket. The Toyota part number is: 90915-YZZN1. Does anyone know if the Toyota oil filter can be used on the CB1100? Toyota is known for producing high-quality parts, so quality is not a question (after all, I'm using these filters on my $55k Lexus). What I don't know if there is something internally different (bypass pressure?)  that would make the Toyota filter unacceptable for use on a CB1100. Your thoughts?

On Saturday, we went to the Honda Collection Hall at their headquarters building in Torrance. I hadn't been there since I last attended a focus group around 11 years ago, looking at prototypes of what would become the current generation of Rebel motorcycles. They started hosting Cars and Coffee events four times a year, and open their Collection Hall museum. Normally the museum is open during business hours on weekdays, so not an easy place to visit.

Mrs. G and I drove in our CRV to show some Honda spirit, and we joined up with one of my fellow Petersen docents and his family. The first things that greeted us were giant Honda inflatables, which I found fun and fascinating. 
We made our way to the indoor Collection Hall to see what was on display before walking the rows of cars and bikes that came for the show, and it was weird to see a row of different generations of Accords lined up in the courtyard outside. I walked past them at first, because when would you stop to look at an Accord. That is until I realized that these were their museum cars, and were in pristine condition. 
   
   

The museum was pretty cool, and fulfilled a desire to see it. They have a timeline of Honda's history, with several models of Honda cars and motorcycles. Of course, the key bikes, like the CB750 are there. The MB5 was the cool bike to have when I was in high school, and I mused that the Interceptor was the reason my Enfield is called an "INT650" here in the U.S.

   
   
   
   
   
   
   

If you're in the area on a weekday and have a chance to check it out, it's worth the trip. For reference if you're visiting, it's about 30-40 minutes from LAX depending on traffic.

   
   

As for the show, it was heavily Honda as you can imagine, with every model represented. There was one row of motorcycles and all brands were welcome, but most were Hondas. Two elderly gentlemen brought CBXs, and I was hovering when they mounted them and fired them up to leave. I commented to one of them that his bike looked awesome. He said "The nice one is inside", to which I replied that I thought the nicer ones were those outside, that these two were actually enjoying. 

Amazingy, there were no CB1100s. I will have to bring mine next time, to see if gets much attention. They host four of these cars and coffee events a year, so it won't be a long wait!

   
   
   
   

Looking at a 17ex next week, it looks nice in pics but the header is heavily corroded. Has 15k miles on it.
Can the corrosion be polished away?

Hello fellow CB1100 riders,
I was browsing through the old forum today and found the link to this new forum. I‘m happy to see the CB1100 community is still very active. 
I got by bike back in 2014 (silver/black standard) and and enjoy riding it almost every day. 
Exited to be back as a part of this community.

i made 72km and the accu was still good for round 60km more .... ....my standard loop has 100km...and for go to work it would be also enough..... power like a 600ccm and torque like from a 1000ccm but all from the first second......classic engines need always first rpm until comes the full power

So I am going for 3 days, 2 nights for some camping, riding, fishing and whatever else.  I was given some old saddlebags... I guess they are considered "throw over saddlebags".

I never used anything like this before so my question is do I really just put them on over the seat?  I assumed I should remove the seat, "throw them on", then latch the seat back on, but that doesn't really work so well and it would leave the right bag almost resting on the muffler.

Thanks a bunch for any insight.
