2014 Side Cover on 2013

[redbirds_imp]

The only real issue I've had with Honda's execution of the original CB1100 was the cheap looking plastic left side cover. Last week I ordered a 2014 DLX side cover from Bike Bandit and I installed it today. What a difference, really looks great I think and money well spent. Shame on Honda for placing such cheap crap on what is a first rate bike. I used a nut and some Loc-tite with the OE bolt to cover the lower hole in the new cover. I found it necessary to place a hard rubber grommet on the lower bolt mount, where the lower bolt would fasten with the original cover in place, to offset the slight movement in that area.

Nice work, redbirds. Looks great.

That's the ticket, Red. Big improvement. Do you happen to have the Honda part number and cost handy?

And, you got an immediate upgrade to a 6 speed! :-)
