RE: Your dream bike final drive? - redbirds_imp - 11-25-2018
Shaft drive, especially on a touring bike. Chains are so much better now they're hardly a bother even on a trip. Belt drive requires large sprockets that look a bit wierd to me and they can be incapacitated by a pebble, however they are clean and require little maintenance.

Chain , let the chain be unbroken.

Now that looks like a "sewing machine" to me.
Up to this point:
Shaft: 8
Chain: 2
Belt: 0
Other: 0

1. Shaft to avoid chain maintenance.
2. Belt if you don't have to take half the bike apart to replace it.
3. Chain. Better now that I use chain wax.

You still own the V7?

2016 V7II traded on 2018 Yamaha XT250, which was traded in on the new 2014 CB1100.
CB sold back to dealer on 4 Sep, after ~12,500 miles, a month after I developed eye issues.

Sport'Doc: Sorry to learn about your eye challenges. Really ... the most critical organs connecting you to the experience. I wish you find a solution, and resume the journey.

Oh yes! I let it dry overnight and no flying off onto the wheel.

Yep!

Thank you. I promised family that #17 was final bike, so 55 years of riding has come to an end. I now have full (almost full?) movement of right eye, double vision only occurs looking far right and I can now drive with both eyes open. So now I am limited to vicarious motorcycling through this and one other forum. Cause remains unknown. Doctor thinks it is too limited to be a stroke.
I accepted Iodine injection for CT Scan and nothing found.
Peter Baron kindly asked via email about the scheduled MRI/MRA. I balked at Gadolinium injection for MRI/MRA, so doctor ordered MRI/MRA without contrast; but I backed out when the "catcher's mask" was put on and told to be still for 25 minutes. More claustrophobic than I thought. Radiology voided the co-pay.

I'm a big fan of the modern chain drive. With O-rings and wax based lubricants, maintenance and clean up are minimal. I like that chains are light, simple and make rear wheel removal a piece of cake.
I was a big fan of shaft drive back in the 80s. Those standard chains and heavy sticky lube were a maintenance nightmare. It made the jacking tendency of early shafties very easy to live with.

More claustrophobic than a full face helmet?
RE: Your dream bike final drive? - the Ferret - 11-26-2018
I absolutely believe chain drive is right for the CB 1100

Ok, I need to learn about this. i've been religiously cleaning and oiling my chain for a while now, what's the wax i keep hearing about?
