Greetings,

I searched "Corbin seat threads" but didn't come across an answer to my question.
I'm considering ordering a Corbin Lady and Gunfighter for my 2014 CB1100. I am 5'-11" with 32" inseam and need to sit a little farther back than I can on the stock seat due to the step location. Also I don't want to be any lower, if anything maybe a 1/2" or so higher than stock.
In my experience on other bikes, Corbin seat buckets are a little farther back than stock which would be perfect, but I've not sat on one for a CB1100, nor even seen one pictured beside a stock seat for comparison, so I don't know this for sure? If it's not I can request they move the bucket back 3/4"-1", but if it already is, going back another 1" would be too far. Thoughts?
Also any other changes you'd have them do were you ordering again? I don't care for the puffy ribs Corbin now stitches in to their seats and would prefer just plain like Corbins of old. I don't know if they can change that but I'll ask. TIA

I wear a size 13 shoe and sometimes forget and the front of my foot rests on the brake lever. I was wondering if anyone has found a longer length brake lever arm ( runs parallel with the bike, not the part that sticks out to shift with)for my 13 shoe...

Looking to come back to riding after a long time, I have a 1100 CB available, firstly it seems to have the idle problem (I’ve read a part of a big thread on it and advantage I have is that check engine is showing so maybe I can tell what’s wrong) secondly which is a bit odd is that owner claims it’s only 5 shifts, but it’s says 2014 on the frame, that normal ?

On Saturday, I swung by the big Cars and Coffee in Orange County. Digging all of the cars and bikes, I saw a very familiar black and white BMW rolling in. “Huh, used to have one of those” I told my friend.

By the time we ambled over to the bike area and got to where it had parked, sure enough, it was my old ‘07 R1200R I that I sold to buy my CB1100, but the rider wasn’t nearby. My friend immediately pointed out that it wasn’t as clean as I had kept it, but I was just happy to see that it was being ridden and enjoyed. Particularly as it needed some very expensive ABS repairs when I sold it.

Anyone run across an old bike they used to own just by coincidence?

Headlight dimmer switch
High beam position - NOT WORKING, no blue indicator
Low beam position - working
Passing light control switch headlight.
Flashes the high beam headlight - working - yes/blue indicator

Noticed earlier after getting the bike home, just now investigating.
USED 2017 EX, low mileage bike.
Anyone else experience this ….
Still under warranty.

Thanks,

Hey guys l, I recently installed the engine guards and wondered if they look correct. My only concern is will it protect the left side of the engine because it looks like the bar barely reaches out compared to the right side.
