Changing the chain out on my 2014 standard CB1100. Does anybody know the foot lbs. for the nut that holds down the front sprocket?

I pose this question because every now and then I read that someone is selling his CB and moving on... there's been more than a few of late and that's sad to me. Most seem to be just wanting to try something new... and that's fine. But this bike is so special to me (even though I currently don't ride it much) that I don't think I could bear to part with it. So that's really my question. I had this discussion, briefly, with Motogeezer a few weeks ago on FB when he announced he was selling his. He doesn't get emotionally attached to his machines and periodically moves on to something new. Is anyone else like that? Or are you like me... when you find something you like, you KEEP it. I have a 23 year old boat, of my 3 cars, one is 11 years old, of my 3 bikes, one is 12 and the other one is 7 years old. And I have only had one wife... 40 years now. Oh, maybe I shouldn't have brought that up... LOL. So, is the CB a keeper for you? Or not? And if not, what would you trade it for?

I've been good. Want Wyvern Quadruplet Exhaust.

I bought these last week to use on a 6 day bike ride.


Before this, I was using foam earplugs in conjunction w/ my Sena S20 communicators w/ external speakers velcro'd inside my Arai Full face as well as my Arai dual sport helmets. THe earplugs blocked out alot of the wind noise, but it also blocked out 90% of the music and GPS/cell phone/ voice commands that I depend on anytime I ride.

And before that I was using a $40 motorcycle wired earbuds by plugphones.


IT protruded too far outward from my ears, and so made it painful to wear underneath both my helmets. Also, it never stayed put inside my ears, and by the 2nd hr, it would leak in huge amounts of wind noise.

well, this Bose 30 is a new twist on an existing Bose 20 wired product, now in wireless/bluetooth form. Let me just say that the latest active noise cancelling from Bose is THE BEST system to date. This is coming from someone who still uses the Bose QC15 and QC30 noise cancelling headphones at home.

My gosh, they fit close enough to the ears that I wore them all day long under my helmet, 8 hrs long, and could not hear any wind noise whatsoever doing 90 mph for long stretches of pavement. My music no longer needs to be on full blast;it's barely 1/4 volume and the best part is I can actually hear the entire sound spectrum, vs a muffled midrange bandwidth w/ my former setup w/ earplugs & Sena S20.

When I get a phone call, the bose 30 voices out the phone number received. So I no longer need to stop what I'm doing, reach and look at my phone to see what number is calling me. That's a new feature that none of my headsets provided.

The built in battery lasts at least 8-10 hrs, and most of the juice is used to create the noise cancelling. you can easily increase/decrease noise cancelling to set your preferences on the fly. And it takes 2 hrs to charge via mini USB from 0% to 100%.

2017 is on the way and there are probably a few newer (or other) folks who aren't aware of the existence of the [url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17Fr5v7DoenPZeQRLCSQgAoQqiP-BX5gimlgdsBZ9nhs/edit?usp=sharing]forum mileage spreadsheet - a little publicized benefit of this haven for CB1100 junkies.

Basically, it's a slick & simple spreadsheet that forum luminaries [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/member.php?action=profile&uid=1832]Django (and/or [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/member.php?action=profile&uid=838]Cormanus?) set up and it's accessible to all who want to track the monthly mileage they've tacked on to their CB1100 and/or other bikes in their stable.

I'm sure it's not every member's brand of vodka, but if you think you might like that kind of thing, it's surprisingly easy and more fun than you might think at first. Maybe give it a try. Certainly no obligation.

The thread is a sticky in the [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=15]Seat Time section and the [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=7904&pid=121612#pid121612]first post contains the link to the spreadsheet & how to get started.

Easy peasy. Just thought you should know. Questions welcomed.

Have fun!

Just bought this, truly a progenitor of the CB1100:

2016 Wolf Classic 150, 15 horsepower/266 lbs. Kick start and a carburetor. It truly is the real deal, not retro styling, actually made in a Taiwanese factory under license from Honda. Even has the fork boots standard, as well as a centerstand (removed for the photo session), huge front disk and a stainless steel brake line.

Well everyone I really enjoyed my time here, learned a TON about the awesome CB.

I found a smoking deal on a totally different bike, a 2011 Suzuki Hayabusa - talk about night and day haha!!

Again thanks everyone, this is an awesome and active forum, y'all ride safe and have fun!!!!



haha i know a thread is worthless without pics, I'll have to shrink these down it says the file is too large

Just discovered a very low cost product which merits a recommendation and short review. This company sells a gloss black, compact, lockable top case which is compatible with a CB1100 (especially the standard model in black for the color match). It will look great on the bike. It comes with a universal mounting plate kit, but the bike still needs to have a suitable rear carrier rack to mount it properly. Mine currently has a Kijima grab bar instead of a rack, so I am planning to use this on my Bonneville (which does have a luggage rack). It also includes a built-in back rest for your pillion rider and they may also be available painted in red to match the Deluxe. Amazon has them at a great price ($36.95 including shipping).
