One of the things that was a pleasant surprise about the CB1100 was that it had the same control pods as my 20 yr. old CB750. I switch back and forth between the two daily and don't even have to think about it. I think if I had a '14, I switch out those pods in a heartbeat.
Yea, if you own multiple bikes it really stinks.. Sunday I rode the ST, Monday I rode both the Majesty and the CB, Tuesday I rode the CB, Wednesday I rode the Majesty, today is Thursday I am riding the CB up to Jeffersonville to meet a buddy for lunch (only motorcyclists would think nothing of driving 100 miles each way for cheeseburger lol ). It's driving me nuts hitting horns when I want to change lanes or turn, hitting the cancel t/s button when I want to beep a warning. And now, because they are not the same, it's happening on all 3 bikes. Don't know whose brilliant idea this was but it wasn't so brilliant if you ask me.

CIP it wouldn't be.
VFRPaul sent me some excellent diagrams and a picture of his 13 connection. Problem for me is I can't read wiring schematics. Have to wait until Saturday when my brother comes over and show him to see if he can figure this out.

Your right, different unit. If you can get one from a company that excepts returns without re-stocking fees, buy one and try it, you don't even have to mount it since there is no ground to the bars.

Ferret if my manual comes back Friday I will check it out and let you know I can trace it wire to wire switch to switch and let you know. I'm pretty sure it's going to work
RE: Switching switches? - the Ferret - 05-07-2014
Yea they look alike on the microfiche, but it looks like the screws to mount might be different?

$76.38. I just said $85 due to guessing on shipping cost
Opps the 2014 switch is $76.38. 2013 switch is $85
RE: Switching switches? - Rocky_imp - 05-08-2014
This was the first thing I noticed that bugged me too on the ride home from the dealer - tooting the horn like the proverbial circus clown - instead of turning the signals on
From riding my other honda for the last 12 years, and the Bonneville for the last 6 years too, my thumb movements are automatic and require no thinking. The switch gear is the same on both.
Until I get used to the change or develop automatic movements with the CB, I have to think ahead and often glance down to where my thumb should be. I don't like doing that so I'm being very careful in traffic - not that I'm not careful anyway - just moreso.
But the CB is such a joy to ride I can't complain too much.
I'll be interested in seeing how this mod may turn out.
RE: Switching switches? - rboe - 05-08-2014
I have this problem with the Griso and Honda; their horn and signal switches are reversed from each other. If you hear me beep just assume I'm turning.
