What is significance of Honda part number

53180-286-000

I just read the owners manual and did not see much regarding proper break in . I saw a mention to take it easy for the first 300 miles, and I know that there is a break in service at 600 miles, but is there an RPM limit related to mileage??.

In the February issue of Cycle World page 31 in the article MotoGP Refugee it states, "Yet engineers were dissatisfied with the inline-four because it consist of two 180-degree twins set end to end. Each such twin wobbles vigorously about its center, applying a bending moment that flexes and may in time crack the crankcase and cause cylinder base-gasket leakage."

OH Snap! Do I need to carry JB Weld with me? Has anybody ever had their crankcase crack?

Attention those who own Corbin seats!

Does the seat push you more forward towards the tank or does it give you more room and scoot you further back than the stock seat?

Let me know

Chain rests on a rubber long half inch wide or so thingie laying on the swing arm when my beautiful Black Edition 14 CB1100 Awsomest is up on it's thoughtfully included center rest stand. Does yours do the same or is my chain a little loose like it's pilot?

Have any of you ever visited Japan? The home of our beloved CB1100? Or, Honda headquarters?

We lived in Japan for three years ('62-'65). My dad was Air Force stationed at Tachikawa AFB. I was so young, the only recollection of motorcycles I had were of Dad in a "step-through" (hopefully a Honda) that he rode around the base. I didn't get into bikes until much later.

I do remember Tokyo (going up Tokyo tower), the Sony Headquarters and Mt. Fuji.

I would LOVE to visit Japan again, especially the Nikon and Honda headquarters!

I wonder if I could smuggle a Honda Monkey Bike back in my luggage?

So where exactly is the catalytic converter on our bikes?. Judging by the bulge in the header collector, I would say header..

My morning for doddering around the Internet.

Just saw [url=http://motorbikewriter.com/harley-davidson-roadway-rainsuit-review/]this ventilation idea for when the weather eventually warms up in those currently cool parts of the US.

This morning I ordered the Superbrace plus fork guards in anodized black. I sent an email to the company, mentioned the forum and how they had previously offered a discount and asked if one was still available. I received a quick reply with a discount code giving me 10% off which I very much appreciate. I just received another email confirming that the item shipped today. Gotta love good customer service and fast shipping!

I'll post photos once I receive and install it.
