RS instead of EX, but they share identical motor-specs and exhausts, so the two bikes ought to sound exactly the same.

Anyway, every time he blips the throttle, I can't believe that's a stock exhaust. That thing sounds absolutely perfect: deep, throaty, aggressive, snarly, but not obnoxiously loud.

I can't believe that's a stock exhaust on a modern Japanese bike!

Wow. Man, that sounds fantastic.

I am due another set of tires for my 2013 CB1100. Bought previous set from Chaparral but on the rear tire they don't show the exact BRIDGESTONE BT54 tire. They show 140/70V-18. The previous tire was 140/70R-18. On the front they no longer carry the 110/80R 18 but now show 110/80H-18 What does the change in the lettering mean? Tire size 101 is requested.

For the people that like the Yamaha SCR950, Big St. Charles Motorsports near St. Louis, have a brand new '17 model as their deal of the week for $3995. And an R1 for $9999. Check their website for details. I was looking for a Honda or I would be all over it.

Hi

As a newbie can someone please explain the difference between the CB1100A and my own which is a 2015 SA E.

Best Wishes

A motorcycle mayhem weekend! Let me know if you're going to either event so I can keep an I out for ya.

I mentioned to a fellow rider ( he s a plumber) that I wanted to add gaiters and he discouraged it, saying it would cause rust on the fork legs.
I had never heard this before. Can anyone comment on if this happens.
I live in the Deep South ( hot and humid 8 months out of 12) but don't ride in the rain and bike is kept in an enclosed garage
Thanks

I used the excuse having the eye doc in Eureka follow up check and cleaning the carpet in the 5th wheel to run over to Trinidad, where I spent most of the summer sans CB.
Left Chico 8-ish Monday and went south to pick up Highway 20 west, where once out of the valley the road gets nicely twisty through grassy oak strewn hills.

Soon I arrived at the east end of Clearlake and stopped to fill up and grab a snack before continuing along the north shore of the lake.
It's quite scenic and there was light traffic as we are getting out of tourist season. Started bucking a head wind which continued for the rest of the day.
Continued west to 101, then north as the oak woodland gradually gave way to conifers, and redwoods became more profuse. The highway was mixed 4 lane and 2 lane, quite pleasant with light traffic. Stopped at something called the peg house for a hot dog and Gatorade. Ended up getting beat up by the headwind and was glad to get to Eureka, then on to Trinidad where my opulent borrowed 5th wheel awaited. 310 miles and I was pooped.
Tuesday got up, cleaned carpet, saw the eye doc, and took a few local pics.

Scenic but non functional lighthouse. The town of Trinidad is behind me, Trinidad Head is the mound in the distance and the harbor is between here and the Head.

This morning, headed back via 299. A fire tore through a few weeks ago and destroyed some small resorts, homes and businesses along the Trinity River. Didn't get any good shots on the way home, the ride was alternately great, with hardly any traffic (because of highway construction) or crummy and slow for the same reason. Ended up getting to Redding, then south to home. 310 miles over, 234 back and a little pooping around over there for 559 round trip. Bike ran great and got lots of compliments.

Hey guys,

Long term owner and forum member here. I just had my front Bridgestone Battleax tire replaced today at only 4000 miles. The rear tire is in great shape. I'm concerned because the tire lasted so few miles. The wear pattern was even across the tire with no cupping.

Which leads me to tire pressure. I usually run 36 psi front and 42 psi rear. I was advised of the pressure from the dealer.

I know this is a dumb question but is that the right psi for the front tire? I know the max is 42 psi with a maximum load, but what psi do you guys run for a non loaded bike?

The 2013 CB1100 has black fins and silver cams. The '14 Standard has blacked-out everything. The '14 Deluxe has silver everything. This new '17 EX is 50-50, with black lower fins, and silver for the upper half.

Any idea why? As in, to which old CB model does this half/half thing pay homage? I've been sitting here googling up every CB model I can think of, and none of them sport the half black/half silver fins, yet I know the new CBs are designed to pay homage to a number of different CBs of yore, as opposed to any single specific model, such as the original CB750.

I wish this new model's fins were either all black, like the original 2013 model, or all silver, like the '14 Deluxe. Either would be fine, with silver cam covers.

The half and half isn't bad. I don't prefer it, but it's not bad. I'd just like to know why Honda went that route for this new model.
