Hi, I did some googling and board searching and couldn't find a reasonably clear model history/change, even on wiki.

What got me thinking of this was looking to order a part for my 2011 and being told that the seller's item (a rear rack) only fits the 2013 model. As far as I am aware they are the same (standard) models!?

Is there a thread which shows the model changes? eg. cosmetic or other subtle changes that may not otherwise be apparent?

As far as I am aware there was the original 5-speed, then the 6-speed in standard or deluxe, now a newer standard, deluxe and RX model.

Looking forward to some replies from those with better knowledge than me

Riding my 2014 cb1100, I come into a corner the bike starts to lean in to the corner, everything feels fine until I lean a little harder ( not a knee drag lean). It feels like the rear tire is breaking loose, like is is starting to drift suddenly. I have not rolled on the throttle just yet, and if I do it feels the same but a tad more alarming. I tire presure is right. The tire has 2000 miles on it and not a real hard flat center wear area. Any thoughts?

Gents,
Parts order from Japan to Canada.

I just need some info on what courier to use when ordering parts/accessories from Samurider (Japan).
I heard that UPS should be avoided at all cost due to charges for custom clearence.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Ok- so I want silver fork lowers. I also want to try to improve the front forks a bit.

My original options were

#1- I could strip the black off my current lowers, brush the aluminum finish and clearcoat them. Would take many hours of work, a pile of sand paper and paint..and make a mess.

#2- I could buy the silver lower pieces new from a Honda parts place and swap em on- which would involve total disassembly of the forks, new oil- again several hours and make a mess.

With either of these options I was considering new springs and race tech emulators.

I then read about the new forks on the 2017 and started looking at pictures.

They are the same diameter tubes, same diameter brake rotors, take the same axle part #, mounting for the calipers and front fender look to be the same- I can't see any reason they won't bolt right on.

Should solve both of my desires- I'll get silver forks and should be a better ride quality- with no mess and an easy quick swap on.

Since my bike is low miles still- I might even be able to sell my stock forks for a bit of cash to offset costs.

Thoughts?

I just pulled this from Facebook 'Over 50 and still on 2 wheels and loving it'... looks like a 2017 is on the floor and apparently discounted in Illinois. If I see that right from the photo...

Has anyone had any problems with warped front rotors? When I stop, I am now getting a definite oscillation from the front that changes with wheel speed.

Long story short-

I compared the parts list to see what revised intake tract and exhaust changes really means.

The only change is the intake snorkel-

17235-MGC-JB0

and the exhaust.

Everything else is the same. Same cyl head, same valves, same cams, same velocity stacks, same crank, throttle bodies, same air filter, same piping to hold it all together...

The intake snorkel (air horn that attaches to the side of the airbox under the side cover) looks to be shorter from the diagram. Hard to tell if it is any larger in cross section.

Any changes in the engine sound would be from the exhaust pipe/mufflers themselves other than maybe a bit more intake suction noise through the snorkel.

If I didn't already get a good deal on the TSR intake piece, I would have ordered this new intake snorkel as it is pretty cheap and very easy to swap.

I traded my 2013 CB1100 a couple of months ago for a much lighter bike - was finding the top heavy weight of the CB a bit too much for my advanced years - however the Guzzi V9 i chose turned out to be a lemon and finished up getting my money back from the dealer and my bike which thankfully he had not sold.
How fantastic it is to have her back - i sure missed the bike and appreciate her all the more now - need to get fit as it feels just as heavy now after riding a featherweight - I'm back.

We had a great time on Saturday with five CB1100s. Not too bad for our first meet and considering the rarity of these bikes. Here are some pics. We had a pleasant surprise when Bflint from this forum came out to meet us from San Diego. Nice to meet you, Bill! Thanks for coming down!

We rode to the "Born Free" event at Santiago Canyon. It was mostly Harleys but lots of cool choppers and plenty of eye candy, of both the mechanical and organic varieties. Then we hopped on Ortega Hwy to Lookout Cafe, with a beautiful view over Lake Elsinore.

Could someone familiar with different variants of cb1100 please outline the differences between what Honda was selling in 2016 in Canada (CB1100A), as can be seen, for instance here:
http://www.rockyhonda.com/default.asp?pa...dInventory

and 2018 CB1100EX that is/will be sold in Canada, as seen here:
http://motorcycle.honda.ca/model/naked/cb1100a

(ignoring the obvious appearance differences).
TIA
