Newer CB1100

[beardyweirdy@me.com_imp]

I'm with you there, one of the first things I did was to dump the strangely grey handles under the seat. Samurider.com has some nice grab handles available to buy. Or just ditch them.

You can get your rims re-spoked also, for not too much cash.

If you were going to get a good trade on your old one then I'd say why not. But, the price I see secondhand CB's going for I think you'd be better off keeping it. You'll have to do the sums I guess...

Chris, beardyweidy's too modest. He has a [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=13205]glorious example of the CB1100 for sale.

I simply removed those pieces you are speaking about and threw them out.

I also put the 17 forks on my 14- great improvement.

A slipper clutch would be nice.

900 miles in what I assume has been over 2 years based on your join date is not very much at all. To trade for a bike with less miles and little else different is foreign to me. If there was something about the new bike that was must have like Dual Exhaust, or gear indicator, ohlins or 17" wheels I'd say go for it. I thought about what it would cost me to buy the 2018 RS now that it's in Canada to get the suspension and 17" wheels and it doesn't seem worthwhile to me. I'm likely going to roll over 50,000 KM before the end of this riding season and the CB still rides like new. I'll ride the CB until the cost of a new bike makes more sense than repairing the CB, or I've ridden it so long I need to shake it up.
