Hey guys, got my CB a few months back and love it. The PO installed a staintune exhaust, which I don't mind, but I'm hoping for a long life outa this bike. Do I need to have it remapped for the new exhaust to keep it running properly for a long time?

Thanks.

I've started fiddling with my bike again and after whipping off the rear fender I'm thinking of either getting rid completely or fitting a short one.

Anyone know of a kit that does that?
I don't want to cut down the original, so I'm looking for something to fill the void under the seat and somewhere to mount the licence plate and lights.

I quite fancy cutting down an original one but I've had a look thru the breakers in the UK and can't find secondhand one anywhere.

Anyone shortened their rear?

Three months ago a one hundred pound black lab successfully took me and my 300 mile 2013 Standard down. My shoulder was crushed and my arm broken in 3 places. My beautiful 2013 CB1100 received 5300 dollars in damage. Now I've got 13 pieces of titanium between my collar bone and my elbow and am rehabbing and improving a little at a time. My bike has been at Taylor Honda in Woodburn since the day after the crash. They have been rebuilding it as parts arrive. Before the crash I had already obtained all of the deluxe twin pipe parts and since the original 4into1 was destroyed we decided to rebuild the bike with the twin pipes. I think the shop lights played havok with my pics but these are the best of the few that turned out today. I think the twin pipes look real nice.

After a year of waiting and a few "almosts", I finally have my bike. It's a '13 and according to the VIN it's the 11th U.S. bike off the line (DK000011)!

2500 miles, I put 85 on it just today as I got lost in south Denver on my way to meet my wife at Ikea before heading home. I found the seat to be super-comfortable, at least for those 85 miles.

This is my first bike that came from the factory with turn signals and disk brakes. I'm looking forward to doing more riding and less wrenching.

Thanks to everyone for all of the advice and knowledge available here!

I decided to fit the TSR Air Funnel Kit that's been laying around in the attic since last year.

One of the stages of the instructions says
"*Fig.7 please remove the blank plug from the vacuum chamber."
There is a picture with it but I've got no idea what the vacuum chamber is.
Looked thru the manual but no joy...

Anyone done this mod and can shed some light? or anyone know what i'm missing? It's the air funnel kit that requires cutting out the air box not the Air Intake Funnel which replaces the snorkel.

I noticed there is not even a single decent FB group on these bikes, except one in Japan. I created the Honda CB1100 owners FB page. If you are interested, request to join, and spread the word. It can be another fun way to post pictures etc.

An interesting thread over on the Triumph Forum. Thought I would share.

Hi All,

I've decided to keep my CB! it was for sale and but the summer is here I miss it, so, I'm just putting it back to the spec I had it in.

Looking at the tyres, it's time for a change. I'm still running the original D205's and they've squared off. Had 8000 miles off them and I was never very happy with the wet performance.

I've seen all the great reports about the PR3's and I was all set to get a pair, but I've seen the new Dunlop Roadsmart 3's have just come out in Europe. They make the correct sizes too.

Has anyone tried these on the CB yet? I thought that they looked like they could be a good match. I'm in the UK and rain is a regular feature, so wet grip is equally, if not more important than dry.

Thanks

Kev

I just came across this video of one of Australia's great bike roads.

Has anyone put on some led accent lights? If so what color and where did you mount them?
I just got through putting some on my wife's goldwing, (overkill, but try telling her that), and I have to admit they look pretty good and certainly add to her being visible, especially at night.
Thanks Crutch
