I got the Shad 45 top box with back rest, mounting plate & rear rack for the 13 & 14 CB1100. I did have to use a die grinder to modify the mounting hole to fit the 14 deluxe but very very easy mod! It lets it come up in the rear due to the 14 models having bolted on tabs
total cost $255.00 shipped from ebay brand new. The Shad CO. Is in Florida and he always has them on eBay at a deal. Just shoot him a email thru eBay and make him a offer
it can also be used as a rear rack. The top box goes on & off in seconds and locks on with a key!
nice rack

Does anyone know of a discount price for the Corbin Gunfighter seat and backrest ? I would appreciate any advice .

I installed a G2 Throttle Tamer, here's how I did it...

Remove bar end, hand grip and switch housing screws.


Because the throttle cable length prevents you from simply sliding the throttle tube straight off,
you will need to remove the bars in order to remove/install the throttle tube.


Simply slip the OEM throttle tube out of the switch housing and remove the cables.


The G2 Throttle Tamer cam is larger than the OEM.


Getting the larger G2 Throttle Tamer cam to slide back into the switch housing is a little tricky without loosening the cable adjustment at the throttle body,
but it can be done with a little manipulating, but its tight.


Reinstall throttle tube, switch housing screws, hand grip and bar end... go for a test ride.

Ride Report

I just got back from a short road trip with my dad and racked up a bit over a 1,000 miles on the bike. While things are fresh in my mind I thought I would cover a few things with the forum.

The seat is horrible. I’m one of those unusual people that have been completely happy with the stock seats on my previous bikes. This will be the first time i’m going to purchase a seat because the stock seat is completely unacceptable.

The engine is very smooth. I come from a history of V-Twins (two harley’s—FXST and XL1200), Parallel twin (Bonneville) and a triple. I never took the triple on a road trip but can’t imagine it being smoother than the I4. I love the engine!

MPG was very good. I use Fuelly to track MPG and do my best try to fill it up to the same spot each and every time. During a stretch from Ennis, TX to Huntsville I wracked up a whopping 59mpg! I was trying to see how good I could get so was cruising at 60-65mpg and drafting behind a semi but that is still insane mpg. I don’t think I dropped out of the 50’s the entire trip and that was even cruising at 70mph for multiple 70+ mile stretches. (The longest I could go was a 100 miles due to the painful seat. I usually ride a 130 and than stop at the next town on all my other trips on my other bikes. The seat was just too painful. I couldn’t imagine using this seat for one of my longer tours…its got to go.)

I rode without a windshield and was just fine. On a cruiser riding at 70mph you would be holding on for dear life due to the feet forward position. It was a non-issue with this bike. I can’t wait to get my new seat so I can see how I feel running a 130+ miles at 70mph to see if I still feel the same. As it was on this trip, the seat was so terrible I couldn’t stand more than an 1 1/2 hours before I had to stop so maybe I might feel different if I increased the distance between stops.

Overall this bike is a real joy to ride. I love the engine and feel the CB1100 is everything I was looking for in the Bonneville but couldn’t find. I loved the Bonnie but the engine—even with all the mods—lacked the top end that this bike has. I do not ride at insane paces and to be honest the Bonnie was just fine but it is nice to roll-on at 70mph and have a lot on tap. I can see this bike staying in my garage a long, long time.

So I've been a lurker here for a long time and I'm looking for a motorcycle but I'm willing to wait.
When the CB1100 came out in 2012 I said "wow, it would be perfect if it only had ABS, a sixth gear, and a gear speed indicator".
Well along comes the deluxe of course but I've got one concern: I keep seeing complaints both in reviews and in this forum about excessive vibration at somewhere around 3.5K RPM. That would be *really* annoying to me. I attribute it (without a clue as to what I'm talking about) to the fact that Honda purposely modified the timing on the cam shaft so that the timing on the engine isn't quite balanced to give it a better sound (do I have that right? and if so.. really!?) but perhaps I'm mistaken. I saw a post somewhere that said for 2014 Honda modify the cam shaft to make it slightly smoother but it's not clear at this point how much of an issue is still is as I still see people complaining.

I went by a bunch of dealerships today to check out a bunch of motorcycles. The new Interceptor is kind of nice but I find the seating too forward for my tastes as I grew up riding CB400/CB650 etc. And I find all the Kawasakis, Suzukis, Yamahas, and modern standard/street-fighter bikes do not at all look like a motorcycle should. The only one that really made me go "wow!" was of course the CB1100 (they only had a 2013 in stock and that isn't in the running for me).

Dealers around here are rather hesitant to let me test drive a brand new bike and I haven't found any deluxe demos in the area. At this point I'm willing to wait for the 2015 model (any announcements coming in the next couple of months) to see if they tweaked the bike at all.

My question : How much of a problem/issue is vibration on the 2014 CB1100? What is your experience?

Well, I seem to be getting closer to my vision for this CB.
-K Factory CSR exhaust system
-Power Commander V
-Posh matt black bullet turn signals
-Short black PSR clutch and brake levers
-R&G engine sliders
-WH Hakofugu Taillight
-WH Hakofugu front and rear fenders
-Corbin saddle
-Honda CB500F black mirrors
-Black painted hand rails, side covers and headlight brackets
-Throttlemeister cruise control

I'm waiting on WH Short handlebars and Ohlin ho-o1o shocks, then she should almost be finished.

check this out! Found this from a member on the UK forum. Great price. About $200.00 shipped!
Nice
see item # go to ebay of UK. Might show up on usa ebay. I have it on my ebay watch list
this is my buddy's bike in the UK. He said it mounted to the headlight bolt just like the comet. He said he had to trim it to fit around blinkers I think he said. But it comes gloss black
does look good!

A few days ago we had a ride toward some old castles between Chambery and Lyon, weather was not very good, but not too much rain, and some fog onto the river valleys gave nice views when we were high enough:







Other pictures of this ride in this picasa album :[url=https://picasaweb.google.com/jp.sembely/2014_10_12VirieuQuirieu?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCN_m3orU6YmDowE&feat=directlink]2014-1012

Later near nice waterfalls we met an interesting old car, I couldnt resist to take some pictures...

I came across a video of this café/surfshop/custom bike shop on YouTube called Deus Ex Machina. It's in Venice Beach which is about 130 miles from San Diego. I had the day off, the wife was at work, so I decided to ride up the coast and check it out.

It was a beautiful day and the traffic was light. Well, relatively light for Los Angeles. The ocean was a brilliant blue and the air was a pleasant 79 degrees. The CB rode like a champ. The new grips get an A+. One stop in Huntington Beach to fill up then on to Deus which is on the corner of Venice and Lincoln.

There were a couple old Harley bobbers, a Triumph Bonneville, a Kawasaki W650, and a few custom Deus motorcycles in the parking lot out back. I pulled in, enjoyed a sandwich and a latte, then browsed through the place.

The café has outdoor seating as well as some tables inside where people were busy on their computers doing whatever it is that those people on their laptops do in cafes. From there, the place flows into a surf shop of sorts with boards lining one wall but with motorcycle art/prints on all the walls. Just past the surfboards is the clothing which includes some retro styled motorcycle gloves, jackets and boots. I picked up a t-shirt to bring home with me.

There were a few custom motorcycles throughout the place. All reminiscent of the early days of riding. The whole place had a cool but unpretentious vibe to it. It didn't seem to be a hipster hangout but even if it were, I have no problem with hipsters. I just can't fit into the skinny jeans they wear.

The ride home wasn't as fun. Traffic was bad. The three hour ride home would have been closer to four if it wasn't for lane splitting! All in all, it was a good day. Five and a half hours on the CB. She's breaking in nicely.

Here's a link to the YouTube video that turned me on to this place: http://youtu.be/x7sUnXhNASM

Tomorrow, I'm meeting up with 15 guys and gals from the VFR forum for lunch. Of course, I'll be riding my VFR to that one. It would be cool to get a group of So. Cal. CB riders together for a meetup. How many of you are out there?

Oh, "Deus ex machina" is latin for "God from the machine." I like it.

This type of thing is SOOOO uncalled for and just makes things that much worse for the rest of us that ride. ALL of these idiots need to be found, arrested, and have their bikes impounded....period.
