Hi folks,
i am in need of a photo showing the rear brake hydraulic line as it is installed on the spoked wheel cb1100 ex. I'm trying to understand how the line is routed on a standard ( read unmodified ) bike. If anyone could direct me to a picture or if you have that bike and wouldn't mind would snapping some photos and posting them I would be most grateful.
Cheers

I ordered a set of custom painted side covers from Webike about 2 weeks ago and haven't heard a thing from them since they took my PayPal money that same day. Anyone else have this long a wait time with this company? Do they send my order to the place they get the covers painted and then have to wait for them to paint them and get back to them or what. I've never ordered from them or any Japanese company and was wondering how they do business.

| 2014 DLX - rear ABS clunk |

I think I might already know the answer, but I have to ask... is it normal to hear and feel a pretty noticeable "clunk" when pressing the rear brake pedal hard enough to engage ABS? We have a very steep driveway/entry to our underground parking at the condo, and one day it was a bit wet out when I pulled in a little hot and stomped a bit hard on the pedal so as to stop on the incline and watch the door close behind (as per condo security rules). In doing this, I felt the pedal "hitch" down a little and at the same time heard a bit of a clunk from the rear end, but the bike definitely stopped without either tire locking. I thought it very odd that an ABS system would exhibit something like this yet at the same time seemingly function normally...
I parked the bike, inspected everything from pads to fasteners, brake pedal, even the right foot peg, everything is in beautiful shape and tight as a drum. Out of curiosity I've tried to recreate the effect since and sure enough, when pressing the brake pedal hard enough so that it would surely lock up a non-ABS system, I get that odd rickety clunk as the bike quickly stops. Mind you, I would never try this experiment at anything over 10 or 15 mph. Again, I've inspected everything, fenders, chain tension... is it possible that what I'm hearing is normal? It can't be, right? Or is it?

I recently installed new renthal low bars and had a puig windscreen on. After playing around with the cables, which was a tight fit with the screen in place I decided to remove the windscreen. I instantly fell in love with the look of the new bars and the naked natural look of the bike. Kind of the same feeling I got when I saw her on the showroom floor. So I decided I want to keep the naked look for a bit and off I went on a ride. I had the screen on for a bit and forgot what the naked bike felt like. I took off for the parkway and criused down to the beach at about 80mph. The wind blast didnt really bother me as I was wearing my full face anyway and my body felt good. I think the new position of the bars plus my Daytona cafe seat which is lower than stock helped quite a bit. I love changing things around here and there to keep feeling new and different. I was on the fence about getting the dart flyscreen and finally pulled the trigger this morning but after doing more research on it and feeling the naked feel of the bike again i decided to email dart back and cancel my order. Hopefully they will let me being it didnt ship out yet and wasn't processed yet. Ill keep my fingers crossed. I was not thrilled about the headlight being moved foward almost two inches with the gap it leaves and the fact that I cant just loosen the head light bolts and pull it off real quick like the puig. I figure if im going to ride some distance I can just temporarily throw on the puig. Bottom line is naked is awesome and I really love the look.

| Need help on patching a tear on a vinyl seat |

Just hours after posting my NC700X for sale on Craigslist, I somehow managed to rip a V shaped tear in the seat. It's an area about 1.5" squared and located on the left rear side of the front seat.
I really don't want to spend $150 for a new seat. Does anyone know if there is a 2" circular black patch that I can apply to the damage area? Duct tape isn't going to work.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Does anyone know if they still require relocation of the taillights on this mount? I think they are an excellent solution that could be installed on a couple of my bikes and just move the luggage from bike to bike. However, I don't want to mess with the OEM lighting at all.
If not, does anyone make a hard mounted soft saddle bag kit for the CB1100?
Thanks.
