Very nice additions to the bike. Even looks like there is extra height added from the seat. I like the look of it.

I guess not bad for only two months of ownership, regardless, but I still feel like I'm falling behind some of you! LOL

Yes, there is. I couldn't tell you exactly how much, but it's very noticeable. I liked the style of the seat, but it was the extra height that I was really going for. And it ended up being extremely comfortable, which was icing on the cake.
Here's the difference vs. the stock seat from my other thread:

Side Covers look great! And your pipes have to be the cleanest, brightest stock pipes I've seen, what's your secret?

Well, I did buy some of that BMW polish stuff that someone mentioned in one the clean-header threads, but mostly my secret is a pretty new bike with not a lot of miles yet! Wink

Bike looks great Not familiar with cb4me. how can I find them?

RE: New red side covers - flynrider - 07-25-2014

Good one! Welcome to the forum, Loren007. You newbieness is showing Tongue

CB4ME is a forum member that sold the covers to Papa Weeley. If you're interested in the covers, get yourself over to Samurider.com , a Japanese site that sources a huge selection of parts and accessories for the CB1100.

You can get plain red covers, covers with matching tank stripes (two styles), black covers, chrome covers, etc...
