Well I sold my red tank to Jurlie to replace the one that his friend damaged in the accident.

I shipped it out today fully insured and I just hope that USPS doesn't drop a truck on it, otherwise it should arrive unscathed.

It's ironic that it's going back to (within 40 miles) where it came from. I almost wish the accident had happened last year so that would didn't need to deal with shipping it.

It's a nice tank and I hope that he's happy with it when it arrives.

Bonus it comes with some Japanese newspaper from Mr. Takashi from when I purchased my tank from him.

Hi all, tried a few searches but no luck...bought a '16 CB1100A and the owners manual is MIA. Tried Ebay, etc, but no luck there either, any suggestions where I could acquire an actual owners manual or at least a .pdf ?
Thanks, Jim

Well, I really think about getting an R18: [url=https://www.autoscout24.de/angebote/bmw-r-18-werksgarantie-03-2024-benzin-schwarz-1e265f9e-d7c5-4a60-97f7-db17a852c93e?sort=standard&desc=0&lastSeenGuidPresent=true&cldtidx=2&position=2&search_id=bu3pv8ftco&source_otp=t10&source=listpage_search-results&order_bucket=unknown]see this page for pictures

Will have a test ride next week. I'm a little concerned about riding position and cornering clearance.
Never have ridden a cruiser so far.

Just an FYI for forum members: The topic of motorcycle lifts has been discussed on this forum previously. I am posting this notice to let you know that Harbor Freight has a $100.00 discount "Super Coupon" for their 1,000 lb motorcycle lift; discounted price is $499.99. I would get this myself, but I do not have room to store it.

My friend Carl and I had plans to take a 4 day weekend to trailer down to Virginia and do some scouting for the rally. Well as plans have a tendency to do this one got changed because of the weather headed across the country. We were sure to lose one of our two full days riding so we decided to head to SE Ohio instead. The afore mentioned weather passed through Ohio overnight and in the early morning hours so we woke up to wet roads this morning and decided to head up to Iron Pony to pass the time while things dried up. Apparently Rick & Jennifer had the same idea! It was great to see them and catch up!

The next fairly big trip for me and Cytocatlady is North Georgia in the weekend of the 13th of May. We'll be staying at the famous Two Wheels of Suches during the middle of a kind of Buell rally, so that should be interesting.

anyway, We're going to need road suggestions and ideas from those who live in/frequent the area so that we can make the most of our time in the area. pictured below is my current route plan, based on what I can find in on the map remotely. Any ideas are welcome, and don't hesitate to speak up if you're going to be in the area and want to join up!

For the first time since I got the CB1100 EX in 2014 I have a problem with it, and I wanted to check here in case somebody has experienced something similar.

The other week as I was bringing the bike out for the first ride this spring (the salt has finally washed away from the roads and the sun was shining). Everything looked perfect, but as I pressed the clutch before starting the bike I thought the clutch felt very light. My first impression was that the Honda's clutch is just lighter than my Triumph Scrambler that I have been riding through winter.

I hit the starter and the engine, as is customary, immediately sprung to life. It felt great to hear that 4-in-line rumble again, and I just let it warm up a little bit. However, when I pressed the clutch and put it in first, it lurched forward and stalled. The clutch, it turns out, is not working at all!

So yes, the clutch feels extremely light, like there is really no resistance at all.

I have checked the hydraulic fluid container, and everything there looks fine, with the level just right and the fluid still nice and clean. So the question then is, what could cause this problem, and what would be a possible solution?

If I am not able to resolve it myself, I will have it brought to a Honda mechanic in a week or so to get things sorted so that I can get it back on the road.

Hello bros.

I bought this 2013 cb1100 that appears to have the center stand rubbing and pulling a portion of the chain up. I’m wondering if this is normal.. the bike has a Delkevic exhaust. Does anyone else have a picture of their own 2013 cb1100? Does it look like this at all?
