Thanks for the advice everybody. it's now on perfectly, and my CB now officially has 50 more CC's.

I like it! I see you left room for the diamond.
I went the with Samurider's gold CB1100 emblems on my Force Design color matched side covers. I'm thinking I like yours better.

Ok- did the math- the bike stock has 1140.5cc
If someone bought the factory .25 overbore pistons and rings the bike would have 1148.3cc
I'll let someone else figure out what the slightly higher compression ratio would end up at.

I just didn't want to pay Samurider prices. These came from Ebay via some guy who must have made several hundred of them. They're thicker, more like the kind of emblems you get on a car.

I changed my 2013 from a 5 speed to a 6 by simply changing the sprocket cover to a 2014 DLX cover. Who knew it could be so easy.

They are factory Honda parts, so if installed correctly they would be just as good as the standard size. But there would be no point. It would cost a lot to have it done for no gain.
They aren't a 'big bore' kit. They are just an oversize replacement part meant to rebuild a worn out engine. You would spend many hundreds of dollars on parts even if doing the work yourself. If you were paying a shop, I'd imagine well over $1,000...
