With a single Cylinder, Air cooled, 29hp engine and 405lbs wet it is completely different than the cb11 but sure does look nice. I'm not sure if pricing is released yet.

Weeks ago I asked Takashi if he could obtain the silver colored plastic OEM sproket cover. I was looking to brighten up the left side of the bike by replacing the black one on our US bikes. Sadly Takashi said no.

I just recieved an e-mail from him saying he can now provide the silver covers:

Price: 12800yen
shipping: 2000yen
Total Price: 14,800-yen

Takashi also mentioned he can now get the silver OEM wheels and other silver OEM parts!

118,000 yen on the wheels - free shipping for now - they will be up on the site soon.

I'm draining my bank account. But it sure is fun.

Has anyone put a flyscreen on their CB1100?
My 1992 CB750 Nighthawk had a 919 flyscreen fitted. It was suprising how much that little screen helped.

So I am starting down the whitehouse path... ahhhhhh!!!!


I have ordered the black Hagofuku mirrors (if you haven't seen these, they are beautiful)

No, i do not have pictures yet but this is what the mirrors look like on the Hagofuku W house bike

The tank order is going to be finalized at the end of the month. While it is pricey, its a MUST HAVE.

As far as the rest of the Hagofuku kit goes, i may get the front fender. The side covers are still up in the air for me as they are quite pricey for such a little piece.

Anyway I am getting ahead of myself.

As soon as these parts arrive you know I will post more pictures!

Can someone please tell me they're going for a 70's early 80's café bike. I can't find a tail section that fit's perfect. I prefer a bubble tail. The dimensions are always a little off. I've looked at Airtech, Legendary, Hot Wing Glass, Dime City, and others. If someone can show me a great fit, I'll buy it. I don't need the key latch function. I'll fabricate my own mounting posts. I'm a minimalist and don't need to get under my seat on a regular basis. Also, has anyone tried to order paint yet?

Anyone has unmodified stock seat undamaged -

Tell me your price

thx

I lower my current seat for more comfortable ride (Im 5'7) and now need a stock seat unmodified for certain riding.

Anyone has a stock seat since you have an after market seat such as Corbin, H&K and willing part with it?

Tell me your price

Thx

I ordered my Corbin on August 12th, finally arrived today. Due to my own fault when ordering on-line at their website, I accidentally did not change the "welt" field to "no welts" so i'm a little disappointed that it has black welts or "piping", but I think i'll live. It's a pretty good looking seat, not as sleek as the stock one, but definitely way more comfy. I hated that stock seat! I recall reading all the mag articles last winter and they all raved about how comfortable it was, but not for me. I slid forward all the time and my butt would go numb after about 30 minutes on it. I do kind of miss the "Honda" along the back of the seat though!

Installing it - I have read how others said they had to sit on the passenger seat to get the latch to catch. No way could I get mine to latch! I'm 180 pounds and was on my knees on it bouncing and it wouldn't latch. so I removed the two bolts that hold the catch bracket to the seat and I put thin washers under the catch and reinstalled the bolts. now it installs and latches just like the stock seat.

I only have about 10 miles on it so far, but I can tell the comfort level is much better. Now the new problem is that I need risers! The most comfortable spot on the seat is if you plant your butt all the way back so the step to the passenger pad is against your lower back. very comfy sitting there. But the bars are too far away now! I'm 5'11" so pretty average height. Time to order up some risers and get the bars into a better position. Bottom line, I give the Corbin a thumbs up.

Manual doesn't say how to drain the gas, I will need to store my bike for few months when raining season is coming and winter become too cold to ride a long trip.

thanks

I bought this bell in 1970 at a head shop and hung it from my first bike. 1968 Triumph trophy. It has been on all my bikes since then. I may move my horns so I can mount it between the forks.
