A 2013 w/ 2800 miles and Whitehouse kit, just listed on BaT:
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2013-honda-cb1100-11

I don't know if the owner is a forum member...nice looking bike.

Today was day 1 of the season for me. Weather predicted to be sunny and with high 69. I gave it a good clean this morning and set off for work. I realised I left my wallet home when I stopped for air and fuel. No worries. Paid using the phone and turned back for the wallet. 

I can do my meetings from my car but not on my bike so it was imp I reach office well in time. I reached home and in my hurry I got off without putting the side stand and it dropped!! 

I was devastated. Clutch lever snapped, two small scratches on the exhaust and nick to the engine guard. I will check again to see if there is any more damage. Damage to the exhaust pained me the most - barely noticable but I know they're there.

I need to replace clutch lever before I get back on the saddle. Where can I get OEM parts? I tried honda website and it doesnt even list the model - 2017 Honda CB1100 EX.

Thanks for your help!

Bonjour,
Je possède depuis peu une CB de 2013 que j'ai modifié gentiment 
Cette moto est assez rare en France et il n'existe pas de forum dédié 
Grâce à la traduction automatique je peux profiter de vos expériences, ce qui m'a beaucoup aidé pour modifier ma moto

I didn't really care for the CB1100 when it first came out. At the time it wasn't retro enough for me. I guess it's the old geezer in me.  I prefer older bikes. I think they have more character. My first bike was a used 68 Honda CB350 I bought from a friend in 1971 for $225. I put 11,000 miles on it the first summer. I got tired of oil leaks and valve adjustments, so I traded it for a 72 Suzuki GT550 two stroke. I wanted something bigger, so I bought a used 73 CB750. I probably would have kept it except the local Honda dealer offered me crazy money on a trade for a new 1980 CB900 custom. Along with a bunch of other "old" bikes, I still have the CB900.

Eventually I took a shine to the CB1100. I wish it had been sooner because I would have bought a new one. I started looking around and there were a few low mileage 2013s and 14s nearby but I settled on the 2017 CB1100EX. I liked the spoke wheels and two mufflers. I found this one 350 miles away in North Carolina. It was a trade in at Honda dealership. The original owner was a longtime customer and had all the maintenance done there so 20,000 miles shouldn't be a problem. We struck a deal at a reasonable price, and they changed the oil and replaced the rear tire. I drove there from PA and brought it home in February. This winter was awful in Pennsylvania, so the old girl hibernated in a warm garage while I got her all cleaned up and adjusted. Last week I got my new plate and insurance and took her out on a shakedown ride and to get the state inspection done. 

I now truly regret waiting so long to get one. It's smooth like an electric motor. It rides nicer than my big Harley. It has all the power I could ever want. I guess I just got too used to riding vintage stuff and didn't realize how far motorcycle technology has come. Don't get me wrong. I still like my old bikes, but this one is really nice too.

Recently, I rode my motorcycle downtown to pick up some fruits and vegetables. The skies were gray, and rain was in the forecast. But I rode anyway. It has been too long since I navigated a wet road. I needed the practice.

After I parked, a slight, gentle drizzle began. 

When light rain starts to fall, it mixes with oil, grease, and dust on the road, creating a slippery, greasy film that makes driving much more difficult and dangerous. This light moisture acts as a lubricant, making the roads more slippery and significantly reducing traction. Unlike in heavy rain, this film remains constant. Tires on cars, motorcycles, trucks, and bicycles tend to spread it across the road until it evaporates or is washed away by heavy rain.

For those who might be returning to cycling after a break or for new owners of a CB1100, I assert this situation is arguably the most dangerous road condition we face while riding our 550+ LB motorcycle. I encourage you to

Recognize the "Slick" Period: Oils on the road mix with water, making the first 30 minutes the most dangerous.
Smooth Controls: Operate the throttle, brakes, and clutch with gentle, gradual inputs to avoid breaking traction.
Reduced Speed & Increased Distance: Slow down 5-10 mph and increase following distance, as braking distance doubles on wet pavement.
Keep Your Motorcycle Upright: Reduce lean angle in corners, as slick roads significantly decrease available traction.
Adjust Lane Position: Ride in the tire tracks of the car in front of you, as they often clear the water and oil.
Avoid Potential Hazards: Avoid painted lines, manhole covers, and metal expansion joints, which become extremely slippery.

I took a few pictures in hopes that my words could become a little more vivid:









I am pleased to report that I remained upright and in control of my motorcycle. When I returned home, I addressed the oil, film, and dirt that had accumulated.







I am a staunch supporter of ceramic coating, which I applied to my wheels, chromes, calibers, tank, and all other surfaces when I purchased my motorcycle.

Key Benefits of Ceramic Coating for Motorcycles:
Superior Protection: Shields paint and metal from UV damage, fading, oxidation, and corrosion.
Hydrophobic Properties: Extremely water-repellent, reducing water spots and allowing dirt, mud, and rain to wash off easily.
Enhanced Appearance: Provides a high-gloss, deep-shine finish that makes colors more vibrant.
Scratch Resistance: Forms a hard layer (up to 9H) that helps prevent light scratches and swirl marks from washing or minor debris.
Heat Resistance: Protects engine components and exhaust pipes from heat-related discoloration and buildup.
Versatility: Safe for use on glossy/matte paint, chrome, plastic, and carbon fiber.

It took less than 15 minutes to return the motorcycle to a proper state:







If that road gunk is allowed to dry or harden, it can be quite difficult to remove. It can also corrode parts and damage finishes. If time allows, it is always best to remove it immediately following the ride. To help make that easy, I maintain a Chemical Guys' Shrine in my garage with easy access to anything I might need.

Be safe and careful. David

I install two days ago a Booster Plug-Denmark on my 2017 RS; simple and intuitive plug and play gadget, no "check engine". First day I've noticed a smoothness at on/off throttle , some fuller acceleration, seems little less vibrations over 2500 rpm. Next day... it seems not anymore quite the same, I feel vibrations again and behave not so smooth at accel/decel; all test are in urban conditions. Is somebody here who install/use this gadget and knows more tips & tricks about how to proceed more effectively to make the ECU learn/understand the new way of reading more efficiently, apart from those presented in the manual?

Hi everyone! Today, for the first time since 2017, my Honda got a full detail from a talented shop here in town. What do you guys think? Ready for another 9 years?

So, I have above average size feet, and if I wear my steel toe boots which are required at my job, I can't comfortably get my foot under the shift lever to up-shift. I used to wear a barefoot hiking shoe that really gives me full movement of my foot, and I never had this issue. 

Are there aftermarket longer shift levers that work with the CB and has anyone tried it? 
Has anyone changed the location of the shifter relative to the spline shaft it sits on? I have it in the stock position and tonight I think I might try rotating it up a spline. 
Edit: Going to try adjusting this after searching the forum some more. 

Thanks

Also, the link between large feet and other certain male appendages being large is untrue. I just have large socks
