I just got my grill in the mail. I'll post some pics once installed.

Look forward to seeing it Rebel73. I still haven't ordered mine, but I see it in the near future.

Looks good gbpack89!

RE: 7" Headlight Grill - Rebel73_imp - 10-13-2015

Here's mine. I dig the look.

I keep coming back to this page. I like the look of this but wonder if there's a simple way to attach the grill without having the silver fasteners so visible.

Chienhyu, is your grill attached in some other way? The close-up photos don't show any fasteners but I'm not sure if the grill is simply resting on the headlight in those shots. I tried to enlarge the photo of it mounted on your bike but it got too blurry for me to see if the fasteners were visible. I suppose I can paint the fasteners and that would solve my concerns.

Now, what about cleaning the bugs out of it ...

Cleaning is a down side I will admit that. Have to make some sacrifices for coolness

The fasteners for this headlight grill are much less noticeable. Something I could live with. How they attach and whether this attachment method is compatible with the CB, I have no idea.

Does anyone can share information about headlight grill for CB1100?
I am looking for the grill which can be install on the CB1100 without any modification since I am from oversea and there will be a issue if the grill can't fit on CB1100 exactly.

Agreed, I'd like to find a less visible fastener. I got my grill on Ebay. All in all, they don't look too bad IMHO, but if I figure out a better attachment method I'll let you guys know.

As for cleaning bugs - Q-tips? Lol.

I thought about painting the clips black. That might make them less noticeable.

RE: 7" Headlight Grill - metallyguitarded_imp - 10-18-2015

My turn. I ordered a headlight grill from eBay, it came quickly and I just got done putting it on. The fasteners, as simple as they are, proved to be rather challenging to put on. Determined that there must be a better way, I searched my tool box and found a bag of 14" cable ties. In black. Perfect.

The cable ties presented their own challenges but I was convinced that if I could make them work, I'd much prefer the clean look over the metal clips. I realize I'm sacrificing ease of removal and consider this an experiment of sorts. For now, I'm happy with the effort and the result.

Here are some photos of the finished project:
