Yesterday, I ordered a replacement fuel tank (2014 CB1100 Standard, black) on Partzilla:
https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/honda/...-fuel-pump
On the illustration, it is item "4": 17520-MGC-N40ZC TANK, FUEL (TYPE3)
I looks like it comes with the Honda wing tank badge, tape, etc.
But my Question is:
Does the tank already have the red stripe decal on it, or is that a separate item I should have ordered?
It appears on my existing fuel tank, that decal strip has clear coat covering it. The decal stripe I am talking about:
https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/honda/...00-ac/mark
or https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/honda/...-ac/mark-1
I also ordered the:
Item 7: 17574-MFA-D00 GASKET, BASE
Item 11: 17711-S0X-931 RETAINER
What happened? Two very embarrassing drops:
The evening before my Berea Rally trip, I was in a hurry to load and strap down my CB on a typical Home Depot utility trailer...(by myself with little motorcycle trailering experience). I has the right side strapped and was tightening the left front ratchet. While tightening, the strap got bound-up. While unbinding the strap, it let loose and the right strap pulled the Cb over, landing onto the trailer side rail. The side rail put a crease dent along the lower side of the tank and dented the muffler can (OEM replacement also ordered). The second drop was when I was parking the CB in Berea which resulted in a torn RLET (already replaced) and a scratch in the muffler can.
