I understand that you treat your bike with kid gloves and cotton rags. But I want to know from anyone who has ridden/tooled their bike enough to have dropped it. Can you pick it up by yourself?
Since I ride solo, this is a big issue for my final decision to purchase this bike. It is not like I can walk into a dealer and ask to lay a bike down on the floor.
'Fess up, you dropped it, heart sank, adrenaline kicked in, and............

When my dealer sold me my 2013 CB1100, they failed to mention what a great flat tracker it makes.

I just finished organizing my warehouse space, and figured it would be fun to take a few laps around the support columns inside the building. The bike slides easily, and it responds in a predictable manner to moderate applications of throttle and light counter steering. The ABS actually works quite well during hard braking on the relatively smooth finished concrete floor, so I keep off the brakes and just use the throttle.

Building manager was walking by at the time and he was quite impressed.

I enjoy the quiet of my factory exhaust. I have owned the loud thumpers for years and the change is nice. I also like, to quote Ferret, the waterfall cascade of the four into one exhaust.
What I do not like is the size of that massive chunk of metal passing as a muffler. So the question: Can I have a few suggestions of aftermarket slip ons that are smaller than factory, well made, as quiet as possible and look like they belong. If I could clone the factory unit and reduce the size by 1/2 I would be a happy man. I will also send some more pictures of the Parabellum fairing with the 18" screen on. Now that some of the days are getting cool the extra wind protection is really exceptional.

They call it a "concept" but I don't see any major cosmetic difference. I'm committed to a CB1100, but am still 1.5 years out from purchasing. Here's hoping they start selling them in the states again by that time...

I don't recall reading any threads about it before, but has anyone installed angled valve stems on the wheels of their CB? I have them on my other bike and it makes it sooo much easier to check and add air pressure. I'm thinking about adding a set to the CB, but I know they come in different sizes and wasn't sure which ones would fit

Searched the forum but couldn't find the location of a oil pressure tap on my 2013 Honda CB1100.

Does anybody know where it is There is a hex bolt on the opposite side of the take off for the oil cooler. Does any one know if this can be used and what size/thread it is?

Winter, time for a few mods

Dry today so I decided to hop on the CB and run 12 miles into Beaverton to volunteer at the bookstore. 44 degrees when I left home, turned on the heated grips and enjoyed the warmth. With the pinloc system on the face shield of the Shoei I rode without worry of fogging up, I can't ever imagine not having a pinloc or heated grips for coll weather riding let alone winter after getting spoiled by them now.

Anyone know where I can get the Service Manual for 2014 Honda CB1100 Deluxe?

As well as a 900 cc Street Twin. Water cooled, major upgrades. And, note to Honda, over 160 accessories available from the get- go. Discuss! (And sorry for the incorrect possessive in the thread title...I can't correct it!)
