New bike questions

G'day Light and welcome aboard.

Do you have a bike organised or are you still searching?

Thanks! No, still looking. There's a dealership in town that has a 2013 with 500 miles for $8400, and there's a guy on craigslist selling a 2013 with a 1000 miles for $7200 obo. Going to hunt for a bit longer.

They have a '13abs for $9,999 , a '13 for $7,999, and a '14std for $9,999 advertised locally here, of course it doesn't include freight and setup

That bike for $7200 wouldn't be bad, especially if you could get him under $7k...

What does "touches the tank" mean? My '13 OEM seat touches the tank.

Brand new 2013s for sale in MD for $7,499. Figure a little under $9000 OTD.

I was a bit curious too when I heard that. Maybe it means "If it leaves rub marks on your tank, don't complain to me, I warned you..."

I don't know either, but you're probably right. In some pics on on the Samurider site of the Whitehouse Cafe tanks on the bike with the stock seat, the seat does seem to be pushing up a bit on the tank (curving up onto it), so maybe he means that. If so, it doesn't look bad (see pic I've attached).

True. The guy doesn't have a picture of his bike posted though, just a stock picture from the Dart Flyscreens site. But it couldn't hurt to take a look

I have 2014 delux seat and side covers on my 2013. I can post some pix later.

I think there are some pics in this old thread

Corbin has a nice seat for this bike, Gunfighter & Lady saddle for
2013-2014 Honda CB1100. I hope it feels better than the one it came with and I will get one soon. It let's you put a back rest on for both riders. I don't like the seat this bike has on it or the sport feel on the lower controls. The seat is hard after about 20 miles in this configuration, maybe Corbin will be a better feel.
