...I am hearing impaired, but these can wake me up, even without my hearing aids.
Will soon do.

Trust me other automobile drivers will hear you even with their in-car sound system volume at full blast.

I connected my original twin horn wire harness through a relay to activate the horn.
Note: The horn power was directly fed from the battery.

That "oval" reflection on your fuel tank Alain almost looks like a dent.

GO, It is indeed a dent.
Dropped the bike during the early COVID days when city (Oakridges) did not clean the county side roads. Not a major issue only the front brake lever was broken and a few scratches on the muffler.
My ego was certainly hurt. Sad

Alain,

Having seen your bike in person, more than most CB1100s your bike is very clearly built and customized to RIDE. I'd be hard pressed to find a CB that looks more practical in its setup. That said, dents and dirt are perfectly in character for a bike like that. A dent like that says It's a work horse, and you work it. Nothing about that should damage your ego. Biker

I switched my 2014 DLX horns out a couple years with the 2017 CB1100 ones. No problem on swapping them out.

you should have bought a DELUXE

Same here. Makes a big difference. Switched from the STD to the DLX when I upgraded. Thanks again to Alain and PB for test fitting.[Image: e53fb0b4255e7c902c6aab8300ceb172.jpg]

I have always thought the OEM headlight on the 2014 and previous CB1100s was beautiful to look at - as in the previous post specimen.

The circa 2014 Moto Guzzi Griso has a similar looking headlight too. Could go down as a classic looking headlight?
