I'll do a report on that once I've got a few enthusiastic twisty miles under my belt but in the mean time I wonder if anyone can explain the unusual front suspension design that is fitted by Honda to the CB1100, it certainly caused a raised eyebrow at Maxton although they had occassionally seen this kind of thing before. Why would Honda fit different length springs to each of the fork legs and compensate by using odd length spacers? Are all CB1100's so equipped and if so, can anyone explain the engineering criteria behind such a design?

Perhaps this was someone's "spring fling?"

My two cents... spoken with "forked" tongue...!
