We had a super evening at my dealer's house last night, Cochise Motorsports, Sierra Vista AZ. Cliff pulled out the stops to get it in by my Birthday (3 June) and beat that by a day. I traded in my 2013 CB1100 with 23000 miles on it. If Honda had not imported the 2017 I would have kept my old bike. The 2013 was a great ride. I'm still exploring the documentation but it looks great next to my BMWs. He got two in so he has one left. I don't think it will be there long.

| Beware of Fram oil filters |

I did my 600 mile oil change/service the other day. Bought Honda GN4 from the dealer and a Fram PH6017A filter from a big box store. Everything was going smoothly until time to install the new filter. After a couple turns it became very hard to turn. Luckily, I backed it off right away without forcing it. Upon inspection the filter was a PH6018A! Suzuki filter! Right box with the wrong filter in it! Man am I glad I didn't ruin the threads on the filter tube!
I was talking with the mechanic at the trucking company that I work for and he told me that they had stopped using Fram filters on the trucks for that exact same reason! CRAZY!
Ended up going to the dealer and getting an OEM filter and think I'll continue doing that for the life of the bike. WHEW!

| Oil level sight glass |

Is this sight glass Honda 'retro?'
How long should the bike sit on the center stand after a ride before checking the oil level? Or put another way, if the bike is on the center stand cold, and oil appears to be toward the low side of the window, is this the time to add a bit of oil?
I've ridden for over 500,000 miles, and aside from one early Oilhead ('95 R1100RS) never had an issue determining oil level before starting out on a ride, or during a ride.
A dipstick would have been nice.

Well found a black fairing with lowers and all accessories in vetter packaging. Bracket is for a cb550 but it seems to be working after some modifications. Next onto the big step of light removal an wiring should be fun. Will share pictures when complete
