Shifting is difficult because I cannot bend my left ankle due to a decades old injury. I haven't been able to find a heel/toe shifter for my CB1100; there doesn't appear there is a vendor who sells one, and I haven't found a work-around. Looking at the shifter setup and the location of the left foot peg, it is in the way. Any ideas out there?

I’m looking at replacing the soft panniers that came with my CB for free when I bought it as im getting a bit tired of the certainty of my clothes/shoes becoming soaked at the first sign of inclement weather and the ratty look. I took some great advice from Raceman on the Hepko Becker Junior 30L bags and though expensive, am close to pulling the trigger. I thought I better take one last poll for other options out there that look as sleek and are as functional as the HB JR30s.

Does anyone have great experiences with hard luggage to add to the chat?
Also, has anyone else bought bags, etc from Moto Machines? Were they good to deal with or not? Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!

Beautiful green Z650RS, for sure better quality and more reliable than Guzzi....cheaper with more dealers around.





Dont like this exhaust system but....

Will visit Kawi dealer next week and provide feedback.

hello Someone can tell me the exact measurements of the original handlebar CB 1100 EX 2015,

Someone has replaced it by another model of the auxiliary industry
which?

(ORIGINAL IS VERY EXPENSIVE)

Thank you

Does it show injector duty cycle?

And if so- does it log?

Anyone been to one? Any advice to someone who’s never been to anything like it? I’m 260 miles away from it and recently retired, but every time I consider it I get confused.

Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone seen the touted replacement for our beloved CB on Visordown ? Don't think I'll be trading in anytime soon

i did not think it was true but it is
RLETs completely changed the look of my bike

I figured I'd post my own Super Bowl Sunday ride pictures. I didn't know what the roads would be like in the area of SoFi Stadium, so I left for my shift at the Petersen Museum on the early side, in case I had to maneuver around any gridlock.

As it turned out, the highways were running wide open. I got to downtown L.A. so quickly that I had time to do a little sightseeing before heading to the museum, and I spent the late afternoon in the L.A. Harbor area on the way home.

First stop was the growing Arts District downtown. Two projects are of interest to me - first is the Bike Shed, which has had its opening pushed back repeatedly, but looks like it's getting very close. I got a sneak peak at the interior a while back, and am excited to hang out here when I'm in the area. The second project is the new Sixth Street Bridge over the L.A. river. The original bridge, dating back to the early '30s, was torn down a few years ago due to crumbling concrete - it was a construction flaw that finally caught up with a very classic structure, that had been used in several movies. The replacement looks very interesting, and nothing like the original.

After I left the museum, I headed to the harbor - the continued gridlock of cargo ships sitting just outside the breakwater is weird and fascinating to see. It was such a nice day that the view of Catalina Island, 26 miles off of the coast, was very clear. I poked around the harbor, checked out the ships, and headed over the Vincent Thomas bridge to home for dinner. A beautiful day of riding.

With temps near 60 and bright and sunny skies, it would be criminal to stay inside watching Superbowl buildup. Decided to head south out of Gresham towards the Molalla area.

Signs said "no trespassing" and "violators will be shot" and "24 hour video surveillance"...I was just checking the maps...


There is the town of Molalla and the river which runs south to north eventually feeding the Williamette.

Stopped to do a little reading by the water's edge.

A bit of logging going on among the strands of forest.


Did about 90 miles just meandering the roads. A great day. We've had more than usuall sunny days this winter. Last year at this time we were in the middle of 17" of snow over the course of 3-4 days, so I'll take this.

Got home and changed the oil and filter at 15,150 miles.
