New member, help me understand my CB1100 - Nightengale_imp - 05-08-2017
Hi - new member here. I just picked up a 2014 CB1100 in trade with only 400 miles on the odometer. It's the all black version, does not appear to be an ABS model, but I'm not actually sure yet - and no, I haven't even ridden it, but it sure sounds nice idling in my garage!
Can someone point out the differences in the standard version versus the deluxe?
I know about the ABS... the rear wheel on mine has a smaller slotted disc on the same side as the rotor. What is that for? Is it part of the ABS system that I don't think I have? The front wheel does not have the slotted disc.
I'm not a fan of "all black" but a trade is a trade and I was happy to get this. Rode CB750's back in the 70's and this a uber nicer machine. It also fits me quite good.
Looking for some tips, tricks, things I should know, things to watch out for, etc., if anyone cares to offer this information.
I'd like to move the handlebars back a little (risers? where would I get those?), would like to see pictures of the lowered foot pegs to see if I'd like those, interested in some kind of small windshield / fairing but didn't care for those bullet fairings I've seen so far, maybe just a nice clear screen to deflect wind, need to know if I should switch anything to LED, what is a good rear rack to obtain, and what kind of saddle bags would go well on this bike.
I like the threads I saw here on removing some of the black paint to expose the aluminum - now THAT is a sharp looking setup. Maybe something I'd consider doing next winter.

Howdy and welcome to the forumThe rear ring on your wheel is for the speedo. None of the black 2014s have ABS.
The deluxes are red only and have 4 chrome waterfall head pipes and a pipe on each side of the bike, plus silver motor and wheels.(there are other differences but those are the dead give aways)

Congrats and welcome!
I've never heard the DLX headers defined as "waterfall." Interesting!

Welcome Nightengale!
Search is your friend here. You can find pics of everything you asked about if you look. Have fun

G'day and welcome to the forum, Nightengale. What popgun says about search. Persist even if it seems hard. Sooner or later you'll find something.

But isn't it a beautiful description of how they look?

Click on the link in my signature for a few options on a small screen, handlebar risers, Honda rear rack, saddle bags...

You haven't ridden it, yet you want to put risers on it and lower the footpegs? You might want to put a couple hundred miles on it first.
