When I originally bought my 2013 CB1100 in 9/13, it was my "second" bike. I absolutely love the bike...even more now than I did when I first bought it! At the time I had an 08 VTX1800T as my primary 2up long distance bike. After about a year of owning both, I wound up selling the VTX as I rarely rode 2 up and the CB became my primary bike. My Wife stopped riding with me due to time constraints & scheduling conflicts. It became hard for me to justify owning 2 bikes, especially with a growing family. On the CB, I invested in panniers, new lower gearing (new sprockets) aux lighting, windshield, new seat and other accessories with the objective of making the CB into the perfect 1 up touring bike. Most of my riding is camping, over 300 miles per ride, and I'd like to extend that to 500 miles per ride. This has been somewhat challenging for me on the CB and still feel ok at the end of the day. I'd also like to occasionally tour on some flat dirt or pebble roads when the pavement runs out. The ADV category has been calling out to me for quite some time. It was either keep both my CB and invest in a new ADV bike only to discover I don't have the time to ride both...or....sell the CB.....which is what I did earlier today. I absolutely love the CB1100 and it was the best all around motorcycle I've ever owned. It was a VERY hard decision however I came across a great deal on a new ADV bike and the timing was right. I only hope I don't regret it, however time will tell. This forum is fun, educational, motivational, inspiring and extremely helpful. I only hope whatever ADV forum I end up adding will be half as good as all of you. I cannot thank everyone enough for sharing insight, experiences and ideas on a daily basis. This is not a goodbye. I plan on hanging around here as long as Ferret will permit...I will shortly be posting quite a few items in the classified section including a K&N Seat, Whitehouse Retro front Fender, Red Side Covers, Plot Chrome Chain Guard, National Cycle Windshields, rear chrome grab bar, SW Motech Evo side luggage racks, various leather saddle bags and more. I'll be checking in weekly...

Hi,

I'm swapping out my bent stock bars and have a question..

Is there anything I NEED to know before I start? Any Honda specific stuff related to getting the controls off?

I returned last week from a 4 day, 1200 mile tour on my new CB 1100 EX.

Click to my website and follow the links if you wish to read about it, and view the pics. A great little ride and tour.

There's a question on one of those sites where you can ask about anything: "Why have bike manufacturers shifted to plastic fuel tanks?"

Everybody starts answering the question, but I wonder if the assumption is correct. Are most bikes made today coming with plastic fuel tanks?

Hi guys, im new to this forum and i recently collected my 2017 CB1100RS. Does anybody know where i can tap switched power for the trigger wire on my fuzeblock? I intend to use my fuzeblock to power a tyre pump and usb charger.

Cheers,
Jey

Help.

I'm looking for anybody who knows how to mount it (ie instructions).

There was an earlier post with pics, but well.. Photobucket isn't displaying em

I lucked into one at about 40% retail (it'd of been cheaper but there were a bunch of last minute bids on eBay $&@%#}}##

Anyway as it came off another bike, no instructions. It appears to have a mounting bracket underneath and for the bars. I don't think it would be too hard, but it's always worth checking

Also, I'm guessing it's ride height for the bars is stock height. If I mount the T2 bars I suspect I may have to make longer brackets

Thx in adv

Many of you own several bikes, some with different engine formats (inlines, twins and boxers), but most all of you are typically good at supporting your well informed opinions.

Check out motorcycledaily.com, August 10 road test of the 2017 CB1100 EX. They really liked it, especially the new "Dual Bending Valve Type" forks.
