I just bought a new 2014 standard. I have size 15 feet, and would like to raise the shift lever, and lower the rear brake lever. Also, l might want to buy a longer shift lever. How is this done?

Is it possible to open up the stock muffler slightly to add a little more growl to the sound without being too loud?

Here’s why a car dealer shouldn’t try to sell used motorcycles. 2014 with 4K miles. $6,999. Someone didn’t do their homework or they are hoping to find some poor individual with no knowledge on resale values for used standard model CBs. Not quite as bad as the DLX for $15k.

Searched but did not find. What handlebar mounted GPS are you using? What is the easiest way to power it? Pics please

I didn't know whether to put this is Accessories/Modifications or Mechanical & Technical, so I figured General would be fine.

I just got my 2014 Standard this past Tuesday. The only thing I disliked during the test ride was the exhaust noise (or lack thereof). Coming from a Buell, I knew not to expect anything near the throaty sound that it had, but I didn't think this bike was going to be only a hair louder than a Prius either.

My first question is: is there anything I can do that uses the existing can e.g. remove a baffle, etc. to get more volume? I'd rather not have to do anything permanent like drill anything out.
Second question is: (if the answer to the first question is no) what is considered to be a good aftermarket can to put on? Ideally something not too terribly expensive that gives me a little more sound but nothing obnoxiously loud.
Third question: if I do get an aftermarket can, what's the best way to go about tuning it?

Hi All,

I just received the OEM top box and mounting bracket from Webbike Japan and I opened the box to get a look at everything and I'm pretty positive I am missing the key tumbler. Has anyone else had this issue ordering from them or does anyone know where I can just order a new ONE KEY cylinder?

I am expecting the delivery of my new slip-on Yoshimura RS3 exhaust today and hope to do the install as soon as possible. The instructions for removing the stock muffler include the removal of the center stand shaft bolt. In my previous experience with center stand install/removal (on Honda motorcycles) there was always a bolt that was reverse threaded and had some seriously strong lock-tight.

Question for those of you who have messed with the center stand:

Is the CB1100 center stand shaft bolt reverse threaded?

I included a screen shot of the removal instructions [provided by Yoshimura] with this post. Feel free to offer any additional advice.

Thanks!

Front came from Dennis Kirk, rear from local Honda dealer (dealer could not get front until September).

Front tire balanced with no weights. Rear tire balanced with less weights than factory Dunlops.

Three different staff at the dealer commented favorably on the tires' appearance.

After 2 1/2 hours at the dealer and a stop at Fat Burger, I headed for the mountains.

Front tire responds quicker than stock Dunlops, otherwise not much different handling on the asphalt.

After an hour riding, it just felt normal.

Took it to 5,000 RPM in 6th and it felt very smooth.

Went to the top of Lee Canyon (8,668') and snapped a couple photos of wild horses grazing on the meadows. Shoulder was gravel and moderate drop from the asphalt. Bike climbed back onto the road easily.

Headed to Deer Creek Road (highway 158), where I paused at the Desert View Overlook to send a text, as Upper Lee Canyon (highway 156) is a no service area.

Got a few big raindrops as I put back on my gloves. Heading south to Kyle Canyon (highway 157), moderate rain was pooling heavy on the road.

A grader and sweeper were working the road, so no gravel across the road, just some silt.

Tires handled quite well. Rain cleared just before I got to Kyle Canyon.
Rain not heavy enough to affect my modified snorkel.

Carhartt long sleeve T was not quite soaked (probably thanks to the Dart Marlin), as were the knees of my Wranglers, but I was dry before descending to ~5,000 feet. Las Vegas Valley 114 F, with Mt. Charleston 78 F.

CB seems unaffected by the heat.

Treated the CB to its second coin-op wash, then came home and lubed the chain.

There is what is putatively a 2014 Deluxe for sale at a dealer down in Florida. But take a look.

What do you think this is?

For putting up with my many questions,dont want to seem too annoying. My plans are coming together as far as my mods go,haven’t really done anything other than spent almost $300 for handlebars,don’t ask. I’m waiting on a chunk of money to buy the wheels and rear shocks but have already started collecting parts for the transformation. I’ve yet to see a CB1100 setup the way I’m doing mine so it should be interesting to some.
