Please be as specific as possible. I'm seriously considering a new VMAX. Before you comment, I should mention how I like to ride (so you can comment with this context in mind): I like to ride 50-100 miles in good weather, on secondary roads, typically travelling between 35-60 mph. Thanks in advance for your input!

Well, I never expected to ever see, much less own something so weird. When I was working in a Honda parts department in the mid '70s, someone called asking if I had parts for one of these. I've never met anyone who has seen or heard of one since.

It's a 1962 Honda M85 Juno scooter, 170cc four stroke flat twin with an automatic trans. Only about 5800 made, mostly Japan market, some in Thailand, never brought in to the US. Likely a soldier returned home with it.

It was lying outside in someones driveway where I was buying another bike. Left carb and manifold are missing, pull start rope and points cover are gone, as are taillight and rear turn lenses. and the front fender is wasted. But it turns over and has compression.

If anybody has any parts or info on it, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys I was wondering if any of you have read this from the Honda website?

Area Vets during a Memorial Day Ride to " The Wall South " 1/2 scale

I know there are other threads on seats so I apologize for starting a new one. I have to make a decision in the next month regarding a new seat. The stock one is good for about 1-2 hours at best. I am specifically looking at a Corbin as I have had three of them in the past and have always been satisfied. However I have also looked at Astech here in Indiana and the reviews are good and in fact my dealer is the one the let me know about them. The Astech is 1/2 the price of the Corbin and retains the stock look but in the end it isn't price that will drive me.

Okay that was long, what I am looking for is feedback from anyone that has experienced either one of them.

Thank you.

Good to finally meet one fellow CB1100'er

I'm looking for suggestions on new grips. My bars buzz. Took another ride today and came back with numb hands.

What do other owners suggest?

Have you guys ever seen the very elusive albino CB1100 A. Finally got a shot of it in my backyard! Rare as he** !!!

I started a thread a few days ago about a dealer switching my front wheel spacers to the wrong sides during a tire change. I didn't catch this and tried to install the front wheel that way.

I tried to reinstall the front wheel with the spacers on the correct sides and it seems that when I installed it with the spacers on the wrong sides it shifted the bearings in the hub, lifting the right side bearing off it's seat in the hub.

I'm no mechanic but I do design machinery for a living and know a thing or two about bearings. If I pound that right bearing back in it will cause the bearing distance collar to move the left bearing by pounding on the inner race only, never a good idea. I am afraid I will damage the left bearing. It might work O.K. if I slowly pressed the right bearing back to it's seat on an arbor press.

I think the correct way is to pull the right bearing with a puller, remove the bearing distance collar and pound the left bearing towards the outside of the hub with the correct tool. Then reinstall the distance collar and right bearing. Then pound the left bearing until it seats on the distance collar. If the distance collar can only be installed from the left side after the right bearing is installed then both bearings need to be pulled and reinstalled.

Any thoughts?
