CB1300 headlight bucket replacement - spechg - 03-12-2026
I thought this video might be useful for anyone needing to get hold of a replacement headlight bucket for their CB1100. Not the same bike, obviously, but it might provide food for thought.

I see in the "Possibly Related Threads" that Lord Popgun found cracks in his headlight shell after installing a Road Comet.

They look very alike on the parts diagram, but the part numbers are different.
CB1100 61301-MCE-H50
CB1300 61301-MEJ-010

In my case, when I installed the RC for the warm weather like I do every year, I had a buzz. Couldn’t find the problem. The mounting for the RC should not cause problems. So I did a deep dive and close inspection revealed I mounted it with the headlight trim ring contacting the RC. After removing everything so I could epoxy the headlight shell I put everything back and made sure the headlight was in the RC opening with no contact. No more buzz.
I think the RC vibrating on the headlight led to the cracks in the shell. Since it is almost time to dismount the Street EX and remount the RC I will be more careful this year.

...MiLord, also riding over 120 miles/hr may crack it and vibrate, so SLOW down a bit

Well PB, my throttle cable has been giving me problems. Pretty much only have idle and FULL BLAST!
It is awesome though…
