I am loving this CB1100 DLX; I just want to ride it all the time. I wish I had been able to ride one of the earlier, legendary CB's. As a teenager in the early '70s 750cc was a huge bike. Later, as an adult, I passed on buying a 750cc Nighthawk even though I thought I would really enjoy it.

Does anyone have experience with previous CB's and the new 1100 who could compare?

I'm going to purchase something for case protection and I am down to deciding between the Kijima black engine guards or the M. sliders. Any pics of these engine guards on their bikes? If I purchased the chrome engine guards I think I would just get the honda guards, same price.

Dear friends,

I investigated our forum and made a decision to buy a crashbars from SW MOTECH. There is only one problem- they do not deliver it to Russia.

I am looking for some person from Germany to use his addres for delivery of my goods. I will pick it up by DHL. Of course all costs are mine.

Thanks in advance

And by that, I don't mean who rides an ADV style bike, I mean someone who is willing to take off on a motorcycle putting themselves in strange and maybe compromising situations?

I am reading a book I got for Christmas, "No Thru Road" by Clement Salvadori. Amazing stuff. (I also have read "10 Years on a Motorcycle" by Helge Pederson.) I'll admit, I have been a long time Rider Magazine subscriber, over 30 years, for which Salvadori is a staff travel writer. Salvadori has never been my favorite writer, I much prefer Peter Egan ( Cycle World) with whom I can relate, who has tried to cross the U.S. on a Norton .. If you consider that an adventure lol... I would. (I have all 3 of his books)

However the IDEA of Adventure touring intrigues me very much. Imagine riding on 6 continents, thru areas where roads are sometimes optional, where gas can be iffy. Where medical help could be hundreds of miles away. Where you are not familiar with the language, where food could be decidedly unappetizing, far from friends, family, even communication at times. Where border crossings can sometimes come with detention and interrogation, where you must rely on your own mechanical skills to keep you rolling.

My biggest motorcycle adventure was going to Europe, with Edelweiss motorcycle tour company, with prearranged hotels and meals, guides and a chase vehicle, where everyone at least would attempt to communicate in English....and I put that off for 5 years after I had saved the money because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find food I would like...and I still suffered a lot of stress on the trip ( just ask my wife) Thank goodness she was with me, as she is pretty much unflappable in the face of adversity.

I've travelled all over the United States and some parts of Canada by motorcycle, but I am never far from people that speak my language, food I will eat, or gas stations, or motels, or hospitals or AAA if I need them, or rental cars, or an airport as a last resort. Even then sometimes on the road I feel the stress of not being " at home".

I could never be an Adventure motorcyclist. Too much uncertainty for me. I do however have the utmost admiration and respect for those that could or do. The more I read Salvadori's book the more respect I have for him as a motorcyclist.

So what do you think? Have you done it? Do you think you could do it? Would you like to do it?

hello all. newly registered here, contemplating buying a new bike ( CB1100 DLX, ) after taxes are done. please comment on qualities, power, brightness, etc. of CB1100 night time illumination. ever since i began riding back in the day i've loved night time riding out in the boondocks, hills, mountains, anywhere away from traffic.

2013 Honda Cb1100

I need some advice...

Had an accident where the bike fell - the black plastic housing cracked that holds the tachometer.

Any advice on how to fix this?

Should I take it to Honda? The bike is past warranty so I would be paying out of pocket for labor.

Can I order a new one and put it on myself? If so, what part will I need to order?

Will I have to replace the entire tachometer and speedometer (The still work perfectly) or can I just order the plastic housing.

Thank you.

I had asked Hagon if they had the right fitment for the CB1100 and their response is below. In the meantime I sold my CB1100 so if any of you are interested, you can contact Hagon directly:

Hi
We have not done a shock for this model yet.
I wouldn't have thought the Thruxton would be either sprung or damped heavy enough and bottom mount is definitely wrong, but this is purely assumption based on the geometry and physics of the two machines (taking into account the Thruxton though longer is also lighter damped and lighter sprung than all the other models)

If you could send us in your existing shock absorber we should be able to produce a replacement in two or three days' time.
Cost dependant of style and type of course.(if you see our web site for CB1300 for example, choice will be the same)

Is the the Power ComMandel V required for dyno tuning a custom map or do they do it straight off the ECU?
