  Fender delete kit?
Posted by: woodsparrow_imp - 12-11-2016, 01:35 AM - Forum: Accessories/Modifications - Replies (1)

I found some older threads, but nothing in the last few months jumped out at me, so I thought I'd ask:

The Ryujin fender delete from Samurider seems to be the only 'kit' I find; tried snagging a cheap kit off Amazon but didn't really care for it, and it didn't include a rear light.

Anyone got other suggestions? I'm an electrician but honestly I'd really prefer plug and play. It's cold and I don't enjoy rewiring bikes, I enjoy wrenching them. Figured I'd see what other options people have bought.

  THE perfect CB1100 ... in my eyes
Posted by: usa_imp - 12-09-2016, 04:37 PM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (24)

... is the one shown in the attached picture that I found online. I can't see the exhaust pipe on the other side so I can't tell if it's a DLX.

But the perfect one for me would be a 2014 DLX version of the attached pic.

What's yours ? the new 2017 RS that Honda USA may not import ?

  Kawasaki vs. Kijima Gaiters
Posted by: White Dog_imp - 12-09-2016, 09:25 AM - Forum: Accessories/Modifications - Replies (2)

I now have the Kawasaki OEM gaiters and offer the following comparison of measurements. In summary, the Kijima gaiters are larger, longer and looser fitting than the Kawasaki ones. The looseness of the Kijima gaiters at the bottom is a plus, as any water that gets into the gaiters will fall out much easier than the tighter-fitting Kawasaki. Stylewise, IMO the Kawasaki "look better on the CB1100 and look more "authentic to the cycle." Both of these gaiters are fully enclosed and require removing of forks to install. Plus, rubber will stretch but does not shrink.

Belllows Dia. Kawa 65mm Kijima 85mm
Gaiters Top Kawa 39mm Kijima 41mm
Gaiters Btm Kawa 59mm Kijima 65mm
Gaiters Lgth Kawa 180mm Kijima 210mm

CB1100 Fork Dia. = 41mm
CB1100 Fork Seal top dia. = 62mm

1" = 25.4mm

  What is wrong with Honda's exhausts
Posted by: holy666diver_imp - 12-09-2016, 02:37 AM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (20)

[Image: 0379c765efd9a876254666b39f85f1fd.jpeg]

1.) Stock Honda Can
2.) Yoshimura RS3
3.) Arrow

My question! All 3 of these exhausts are CARB and 9e5 compliant... So why the heck does Honda launch this bike with such a Bulky eye sore of an exhaust? They can easily make a smaller CARB compliant can that you can modify.. that isn't such an eye sore. Seems they force the owners to eventually buy a slipon.

It's initially a 10k bike I think they can provide the bike with a much better exhaust out of the crate. And the "environmental standards" is BS because as I mentioned above there are plenty of CARB and other emission compliant exhausts half the weight of the original. This is my second Honda. My previous bike was the same way the stock exhaust was bulky and ugly.

  Kevin Cameron knocks one out of the park.
Posted by: Ulvetanna_imp - 12-09-2016, 01:41 AM - Forum: Motorcycling - General - Replies (1)

This the finest, most truthful, accurate, and relevant article Mr. Cameron has ever written, in my view. It unabashedly dismisses the neanderthal and sensational approach to motorsports and explains -- in no uncertain terms -- how a thoughful, crafty approach to riding and racing will lead to the ultimate successes of a champion. Brute force or simplistic thinking have no place at the top of the podium. He fearlessly targets the mass of racing fans, schooling them on how things really work. And he is right.

The best excerpt:

Then how was it, in 2004, that it was Rossi leading Valencia, and neither sliding nor spinning? He had found a way to lap at winning speed without drama. As I looked down field, the farther a rider was from the front, the more he was sliding and spinning. This taught a valuable lesson: Winning races requires a rider to maintain tire condition—not to kill his rubber in useless early-laps drama. Successful riders find a way to go fast without burning the only bridge that can possibly convey them to the podium: their tires.

And Nick Ienatsch wrote a perfect counterpart to Cameron's piece:

[url=http://www.cycleworld.com/learn-motorcycle-racing-techniques-ienatsch-tuesday]Championship Dreams and Tenth-Place Habits

I knew someone, back in the days I was racing and instructing, who was essentially a "tenth-place" guy. This young fellow was affable, friendly, very easy-going, and on any given day could ride the wheels off anything. He always rode sub-standard equipment and always finished top-ten. His skills were amazing, and after a couple of seasons the few of us who understood what was going on were asking why this kid could not win a championship.

It was very simple. He was content to let other cross the finish line in front of him. He was like the rider Garry McCoy, he slid the bike a lot, had a lot of fun, was pretty popular with the ladies, and no one disliked him. That was the life he wanted, the glamour, the girls, and the friends.

When you are finishing on the podium, you are getting the glamour and maybe the girls, but you are losing your friends. That's racing, and that's competition. This young chap didn't want to develop the killer instinct nor alienate the riders he'd come up the ranks with. By finishing top ten, there was plenty of high-fiving, "great job out there!", drinking of beer after the race, and good times.

But the guys on the podium were back woodshedding and figuring out how to win the championship. They weren't high-fiving.

That's what Nick and Kevin are both on about. They are both right.
