Has anybody tried the SW Motech Pro Blaze saddlebags/mounts in conjunction with the Honda accessory rear rack? Can they be made to work together? I currently have Cortech 2s along with the Fehling pannier supports which I had to modify slightly to make fit with the Honda rack. But the bags still sort of just hang there and don't sit upright like I would like and I'm thinking about a more rigid bag. Was actually looking hard bags, but there doesn't seem to be much out there that is CB1100 specific. Thanks.

Hi anyone tried R-Gaza engine guards?

Well it's a bit late, but Head of Accounts and I finally got our first small ride out today on Nelly. Just a small trip of 125 miles, but the first one since I fitted the small top case from my Crossrunner, and judging from the comments from the rear gunner it's a winner!! The backrest pad seems to just be in the right place for her back and the case is not too large that she tries to boot it off the bike every time she gets on board.

We went to a local biking hotspot about 40 minutes from home (Devil's Bridge at Kirkby Lonsdale) and had a delicious bacon butty and sausage and egg butty (been a while since we last stopped there) drowned with a mug of tea. The simple life for us!

We ended up at another lovely town in Cumbria called Kirkby Stephen where we took in the sights and sounds from a bench alongside the town's war memorial then it was a ride down the road to Kendal, home of the famous Mint Cake, and then onwards to home.

Temps were around 13c and very pleasant in the sunshine. We were just lucky to be able to have a nice day before the usual mad rush of the heavy Easter traffic which starts on Friday and finishes Sunday/Monday. This is usually signalled to us by the sound of the air ambulance which flies over our house towards the beautiful local motorcycling roads that surround where we live. One reason we never venture out on public holidays!






Stay safe folks!

In this video, we trailered the CB110 Rig. Rudi and I did some riding, hiking, camping and got rained on. Need to find some better weather protection for him than a restaurant awning! : )

anyone tried to buy a Ducati? good luck. it's the most ridiculous thing I think I've ever experienced. We should have some coming in, but don't know when, but we'll take a deposit. when it comes in you'll have 3 days to get here and purchase it or it goes to the next guy/gal. don't they know people work? I've already missed out on one because I couldn't get off work. I want to tell them to take the bike and stick it, but that would be shooting myself in the foot.

I was planning to replace my front brake discs and before starting I wanted to to remove some of the brake fluid from the reservoir as it was way over the top level. I anticipated I would have to push in the pistons and would need the space in the reservoir.

One of the screw heads on the reservoir has got gouged out (I did use a JIS head).

I'm hoping I'll be able to take it out with a straight screwdriver. Is there any other approach which might have a higher chance of succeeding?

I remember seeing a thread about replacing those screws with allen key head screws. I cannot find that thread. Are there any other replacement screws I could find in a hardware store to use here? Or does someone know what terms I could search with to find the other thread?

Any help is appreciated.

I just started shopping a bit today and it looks like tires are in short supply. The only choice my local Honda dealer has is a Pirelli Sport Demon (fine tire) that is back ordered until the end of May. No Michelin or anything else. Anyone know who has tires for 2013 Standard in stock...or in your shed looking for new home? Online sellers all looked back ordered as well.

I'm the the USA
Thanks

Just joined. Been lovingly riding my 2014 1100 6 years. Tired of the all black so I'm looking into vinyl wrapping it. Love that it's cheap and professional looking if done right. As for colors what are the thoughts on bold, bright color schemes for our retro bikes? Stay conservative or anything goes? For instance, I love the look of the new Yamaha cyan storm scheme on the mt 07. Light grey and cyan. Think it'll fit with the CB?

Try as I might, I can't seem to get an accurate measurement of the stock hanldebars while they're installed, and I sure as heck don't have time to disassemble the whole thing. Does anybody

A) know of someplace where this information can be looked up? I haven't found this information readily available on the net.

B) have a pair of stock handlebars sitting somewhere that could be measured for the Rise, width, pullback, and center width?

I got the idea from Emptysea a long while back and just never got around to it. The recent post about the quarter on the throttle body reminded me. Took some doing to get the cap crimped around the edge.
