I'm buying a custom slip on exhaust for my bike and needed to know the diameter of the exhaust for sizing. I measured it and got about 1" 5/8 but I feel it could just as easily be 1" 1/2 Then again I heard that it was measured in metric not standard. So if anyone could help me out that'd be great, thanks in advance.

Disregard, accidentally posted twice.

What tips/driving dynamic specifics to the motorcycle would you tell someone about the CB1100? Specifically for someone that has never driven a CB1100. I have heard the brakes are super strong.

Poll posted on CA200's behalf.

How many of you who ride are left-handed, right-handed or both? The percentage of left-handed motorcyclists that CA200 encountered during his time in the business was higher than most might expect.

Guess what I just received from Takashi Claus?!

Going to put it on today. It's not a backrest (I'm resisting one of those at all costs) but it will give my wife something other than my love handles to hold onto.

Dear friends,

On Samurider website there are 2 types of rear carrier:

1. 08L70-MGC-N40
2. 08L42-MGC-000

What is a difference between them?

Dear colleagues,

I investigated our forum and I can say, that there are at least 2 producers not listed here:

1. LSL. German producer. Quality so good. I used before their crash pads on my previous bike.

2. Crazy Iron. I think it is Russian producer. One of our forum member, Vladimir, uses it. We can ask him to give us some comments about it.

I think I may have dented my exhaust this afternoon when I entered my driveway slightly too fast and at too much off of angle and bottomed out. I heard and felt a solid bang. Once up on the center stand, I looked underneath and there's a decent sized indentation just off to the left of center. The problem is I don't know what it looked like before. I'll try to find some pictures online but if it's not too much trouble, can one of you with a stock exhaust take a photo of the exhaust along the bottom of the bike (left side, center)? I doubt it will have any effect on performance but I hate the thought of having any part of the bike banged up. Is this a sign that I should get a full aftermarket exhaust besides my second thoughts?

Edit: I know what you're thinking: "Hey Einstein, why don't you take a picture of this so called dent and post it and have us look at our bike instead of asking us to take photos and post them?" And that would be a good point. So, here's what I've got:

For orientation, the bolt is the oil drain bolt and the front of the bike is to the left. Thanks in advance!

Another short ride to dinner at Haleiwa. Got a few pictures of the big hawaiin Christmas tree... It actually got a little cold!

Mine's in the box headed north tomorrow. Thanks to everyone for info on Guhl Motors especially the dyno trip . Hope for good results![/size]
