Parts Inventory List

[bflint]

I love my 2014 CB1100 Deluxe, but at 42K I am noticing some wear like the plastic stuff fading, etc. Assume that everything wears (ha ha), so decided in would be prudent to start buying/storing key parts that the CB1100 might need in the future (2024 or 100K, which ever comes first). Don't want to rely on EBAY etc in the future. You folks have any suggestions on what to add to my list besides all the plastic stuff? Regards … an overly concerned rider

I asked this exact same question on this forum a long time back, and I didn't get many replies. My personnel thoughts: Brake pads and air filter. If you're serious about keeping your bike a long time: brake caliper seals, brake and clutch master cylinder rebuild kits, fork seals, maybe fork bushings, and valve cover gasket. If you subject your bike to harsh weather then maybe wheel bearing grease seals and swing arm grease seals. If you want to go one step further, then the engine side-case gaskets, clutch plates, and clutch nut lock tab (if it has one).

When I had my CBX's and CB 1000' s I collected body parts , exhausts , headers , side covers , tanks etc.
You will find that many mechanical parts are much easier to find later on than body parts. Many mechanical parts are used on many other bikes and also they seem to be in less demand than the body parts (crashes ?)
After I sold the above bikes and started selling body parts I made money on the parts for the CBX and lost money on the parts for the CB 1000.
Anyone looking for an OEM silencer for the 94/95 CB 1000 ? I have 5 of them in our basement ! Also tons of magazines etc etc about the CB 1000.

Why not just ride and only get parts as need arise? Enjoy the ride now, life's too short to worry about tomorrow....

Because of the possibility that those parts might be hard to obtain or unavailable when the need finally does arise. I understand both approaches (or viewpoints if you will).

I did some parts hoarding when it came to my Hawk GT because I witnessed parts being discontinued by Honda not long after I bought the motorcycle. To be fair, this might have started before I bought the bike, but I wasn't paying attention at that point in time. I did end up using a number of those parts over time. This is likely part of the reason why I got full asking price for the motorcycle when the time eventually came to sell.

What I learned with my Hawk was that the parts that disintegrate from time, even while just sitting (as opposed to those parts that tend to disintegrate from wear from use) were the hardest ones to come by in my experience. Your needs might not be as high if you have a climate controlled garage, but those are still parts that will be hard to come by should the need ever arise.

Good points all. Think the oem clutch, bearings, gaskets, rubber and plastic cosmetic parts are good starting point. Granted, hoarding new parts is expensive. I do a few each year to lessen the pain Thanks all.

I've just bought a 1965 Yamaha, only 1,900 miles! The ONLY parts that have deteriorated are all the rubber/plastic bits, footrest rubbers, wiring grommets, cable covers, handgrips, etc. So I would hoard all those that you can get (others will want them too, in the fullness of time so you're unlikely to be stuck with those you don't need!).

Service parts wearing out and needing replacement are another matter. Certain electronic modules could be next to impossible to source, replace ( if dedicated to this model only) or even just repair, so an investment here might be a life-saver. Bearings should be OK to source in the years to come, but certain seals might not. Gaskets can be made but certain specialist gaskets might not. As has been mentioned, brake pads, clutch plates, brake discs, etc.

A chat with the Parts Man at your local Honda dealer could be revealing...

Ahh... the Big One.

I almost bought one of those in '97 when I was in the Army.

When I get a chance, I'll look up the specs and road tests online to see how my rose colored glasses are.

Quick google- laughing- can anyone in fact say that these aren't the same CB1100 headlight mounts?

That was the 1994 CB 1000 , 1995 was in red , only sold for two years (about 800 in total )Some parts are the same as on the CB 1100 .Even the handgrips are the same as on the CBX , CB 1000 and the CB 1100.
