I would like to wish everyone on the website some very happy holidays for their families and loved ones. Let us not forget the men and women serving our Country in a foreign land and protecting us. God Bless our Military.

I recently called Superbrace to find out what is going on with the CB1100 braces. I ordered mine when their website said they would be released on 1 Dec. It would be a Christmas present for me from my wife. Well, that did not happen. The shop where I ordered mine called several times to find out what was happening but could not get any information. I called two days ago and was told they were being manufactured and now would ship in early January. I wonder why they posted an initial release date of 1 Dec on their website? I could have had one now if I had ordered it from Samurider. If they change the release date again I will cancel the order and get one from Samurider.

All the best to everyone, family and friends
This Xmass and New Year.

After reading about some of you folks going for the heated gear I started looking around. First Gear stuff was sold out locally (gee, I wonder why), Gerbing is darn pricy so I checked out CycleGear and their HotWired product. Like Gerbing it has a lifetime warranty. Unlike Gerbing it comes with all the kit to install and get you going (minus the temp controller) whether you get gloves alone, liner or vest or pants.

I went with the glove liners and jacket liner. Instructions suck the big one. Had to go back to the store thinking either the temp controller or the liner was toast. Turns out you need to press the button and HOLD to turn it on/off.

The clerk was knowledgable but did not know really how the controller, liner, gloves thing worked. I had to noodle that out myself (did I say the instructions suck?).

Unlike the gloves, the liners don't have a temp controller, I was told they are hardwired for Medium. It appears to me, with the jacket providing power and fed via the temp controller the best I can get is medium and if I dial down the jacket the gloves will also dial down. Not so good; field testing will confirm.

For less than the price of Honda heated grips I got liners for the gloves (their full gloves were bulky, no armor and online reports suggest not ready for prime time) and a jacket liner. With the extra parts I was able to prep the Griso for use too. So I can use TWO bikes with heated gear! Woot!

Hope to field test over the next few days to see what they do for me.

Hi folks,

I am looking at purchasing a solo seat for my CB1100. I would like to compile a list of all companies that currently make solo seats for our bikes. I am hoping you would all help me out by adding to the list.

I have only been able to come up with three so far:

Chic Design Sport Trunk Seat
Daytona
K&H

Any others?


Thanks,

Chris

Looks like we should have a Ton club on here, not MPH but horsepower. The 100 mark seems reachable with bolt on parts alone.

Something for traffic visibility. Not sure yet if I want to go with them.

Anybody changed out there clutch fluid yet? i would think this fluid needs to be changed with the same frequency as the brake fluid if not more often. I believe the hydraulic clutch uses the same DOT4 brake fluid as the brakes. Is there access to a bleed valve to bleed the system. Those with service manuals, please chime in.

I have 5k miles on my bike and the brake/hydraulic fluid looks pretty brown. I plan on changing it before spring. Does everyone else's look as bad?

Super vacances!
