Well,we were able to post a few more pictures,still not easy for us but doing our best !!!
I really like the st,st, Over crashbars,easy to put on and very well made.
The Honda rack took just 30 minutes to put on the the bike.
as you can see I cut down a 6 mm allen wrench and used a 12 mm offset box wrench to keep the flance nut in place at the back of the carrier,the front nuts are welded onto the frame.

How do you like the standard version of the Corbin seat? I am seriously considering it. Thoughts?

RE: Over engine guards/Honda rack - Houtman_imp - 08-13-2013

I do like the Corbin seat a lot on my other bikes and I am certain that after a 1000 miles on this one it will be very comfortable.They are a tight fit in the beginning to get them on the bike into the slot at the back.At first I just put it on the bike without being secured in the back.Your weight will keep it on and after a short while you can fit it easily.The piture on the Corbin website seems to show a larger tuck and roll than it is in reality.I went for all vinyl,less upkeep and more water proof.I wish that I had ordered it without the flap in the back for a back rest,I will never get a back rest as I always ride solo.

Your bike looks great, I think the Over engine guard and OEM rear carrier compliment each other very nicely.

RE: Over engine guards/Honda rack - CB4ME_imp - 08-14-2013

Houtman -

Five excellent mods by my count. The left side is looking great. Are those stock mirrors?

RE: Over engine guards/Honda rack - dBuster_imp - 08-14-2013

Been thinking of a Corbin seat myself! Like the looks of it. Did you have to special order it with the red striping or do they do that for the CB1100??

Also, do you have a source for your engine guards? Stateside or overseas?

RE: Over engine guards/Honda rack - Houtman_imp - 08-14-2013

The Over engine guards came from Samurider,together with the chrome chain guard and the Kijima rack.5 days to get from Japan to my house,no better service than the one from Samurider !!!

I ordered the welts on the Corbin seat to be in red,many other colors available.
I ordered on the phone while looking at their webside first.
The mirrors on my CB1100 are the same as the stock ones on the CBX,Honda made and only available in black.I really like them and also put them on my 94 and 95 CB1000.I can see in both mirrors both sides of the road behind me.SOMETIMES it is more important to see what is happening behind you than what is in front of you!!!
To me safety comes first and that's why I do not like small mirrors or turn signals.
I want to go again for a ride tomorrow !!!
