This morning, I confirmed that the Quote Function for replies is working on this site. See supporting documentation from MyBB. It is clunky to say the least. I will see what can be done to streamline things a bit. We may be at the mercy of the developers. Hopefully, more to follow. But for now, this is how things work:


To quote a post in MyBB, simply click the "Quote" button located below the post you want to quote[/color]. This will automatically insert the quoted text into your reply form, making it easy to respond and reference the original post. 

Locate the "Quote" Button. Look for the "Quote" button, usually found beneath each post. It might have a speech bubble or quotation mark icon.
Clicking the "Quote" button will automatically populate your reply form with the quoted text.
You can then write your reply, and the quoted text will be included, making it clear which post you are referring to.

Start of our riding season with Cherry Blossoms in full bloom.

MrP, mea culpa! While working on this problem, I managed to delete the thread along with a post I made. Would you please be kind and post an embed link for a map again? Could you also tell me how you generated it in Google Maps?

Hello all,

I'm curious if anyone knows, or has a source for the weight of the stock pistons? I'd take wristpin and conrod weights as well if anyone knows those, or a likely source.

Thank you for your time.

New shoes for the Twin today. I thought I would give the Dunlop Trailmax Mission's a try since they are apparently a long wearing and very popular 50/50 tire.



The factory equipped Bridgestone Battlax Adventure A41's didn't last 6k miles. The sides of the front tire wore down faster than the center. That made turn-in's a bit sketchy as the bike would go from barely turning to plunging into the turn so much that I felt like I had to fight the transition, especially on gravel. Both of them reached their wear bars at about the same time, which is nice. The center of the rear seemed so thin I was worried about a rock puncture on my last ride.

I guess tires are parts, right?  anyway, will a 150/70R18 fit on a 18" x 4" rim acceptably.  looks like 4.25" rim width is "ideal" but would it work on a 4" wheel width?  the swing arm looks plenty wide for another 10mm in width, but the present 140/70R18 comes a bit over 1/2" from the swing arm cross brace.  1/2" is 12.7mm.   70% of 140 is 98mm.  70% of 150 is 105mm.  going by straight calculations it looks like a 7mm increase in radius would fit.  Has anyone tried a 150/70R18 yet before?  if so, how did it turn out for handling?
thanks,

Hello fellow CB people!

Its been a while since I posted anything about my 14.
The other day I noticed a small looking oil seep left hand side, toward the top, rear right under the valve cover. I did a search and found that other have had this same leak and it ended up going away on its own.

I cleaned the area in hopes mine would do the same but as of this morning, no dice. I now have fresh oil in that same spot. (kind of hard to see in the picture but its there) just on top of the top cooling fin. I want to say its originating from the valve cover gasket itself, maybe even a little from the gasket nearer the center of the valve cover.



Has anyone replaced the valve cover gasket themselves? Looking at it, I don't think it would be too difficult assuming there is enough space to take it out without pulling the engine. and would there be any other seals etc. needing replaced or just the gasket itself?

Downtown Pleasanton is a lovely destination place. It has a motorcycle row nexts to the Peet’s coffee. One morning, I parked my CB1100 EX next to a V-Rod and another Harley. Both had after market kits that cost more than my CB1100 EX. Bias that I am, I believe the stock CB100 EX represented itself well! Both owners of the other motorcycles chatted with me about the build quality and were amazed our motorcycles rolled out of the factory with such high-quality components.
