First post. I started the post over at Triumph Rat forum CB1100 vs. T120. Both nice bikes. Now here in Canada you can only get an all black CB, fenders, motor, wheels, everything. Now Honda said they designed this bike for 40 to 50 year olds. Now I'm 58 and grew up with these bikes, they weren't all black. I'm ok with some black, I can paint fenders, etc. but is there anything you can do with an all black motor?
This is a major sticking point for me, otherwise this bike might be in my garage!

Hi All....just bought my 14 CB1100 and love it! So, now my wife needs a sissy-bar. I am having lots of trouble tracking one down for this bike. Any suggestions?

Local Denver dealer has a very low mile DLX for sale for ~$8600 if anybody is looking. Great price for a sub-2000 mile DLX

Many of you recommended this product to me. Decided to cut a vid of installation for those that may need the tutorial. Was really pretty simple. Thanks for the recommendation!

Just got back from an early morning 140 mile ride to the scenic Hocking Hills near Logan, Ohio. Really enjoyed the twisty roads, but I'm still not smooth enough on the throttle so a few corners were a little jerky. My wife has less trouble keeping up with her CBR500R because I'm still a little unsure about how fast I can take the corners. She likes that. Somehow I got 55 mpg in spite of all the turns.

Hey guys, considering a new seat and I'm sure there are plenty of opinions on here. Looking for the general consensus for best seat for a long ride if I want to, but still stylish and maybe classy looking. Not a café or brat seat, but maybe a thicker flat seat, like the ones on triumph bonnevilles.

Thanks

I am approaching 25,000 miles on my 14. Has anyone checked or replaced the oem air filter due to being dirty? At what mileage?

Has anyone taken it out, shot air thru it to clean it and put it back in?

I know some guys are up around 35-50,000 miles now.. PTero, Kenny, lola?

So as many of you know I was involved in a hit and run accident on Memorial day Friday on my way home from work 2 years ago. I am going to be interviewed by the local NBC station next Friday about that experience and my thoughts about the bill that is going through he CA legislature to codify exactly what lane splitting is and that it is most definitely legal here.
Being a transplant from Illinois 8 years ago with 25 years of riding under my belt gives me a good perspective from both sides of the idea of lane splitting in that it is COMPLETELY frowned upon outside of CA and here, for the most part, I witness people making room for riders doing it. There are the few that still think that it's wrong and actively try to block you, but in my experience those people are few and far between.
Hopefully I will be able to either get a copy of the interview, or maybe even a link to it somewhere after it airs.

Hey folks,

I'm looking into replacing my saddle. I've not got much built-in padding on my butt, long rides can get a bit wearing, and my girlfriend would appreciate a backrest.

I've seen the Corbin Gunfighter and Lady Gunfighter. Thoughts? Reviews? Other suggestions?

Thanks!
