Camshaft Swap
#6
SlimPair,

I really don't mean to be critical, but why in the world would you want to replace the stock CB1100 cam? If you are looking for more power, then, why didn't you get some other bike. There are lots of other motorcycles, including other Hondas, that have ton more power and weigh a lot less.

The CB1100 was never designed to be a powerhouse. Even if you could put a hotter cam in, it would also probably require heavier valve springs and a host of other top end parts, exhaust, etc. to really be able to take full advantage of the cam. It wouldn't be cheap, either.

Personally, I have other bikes I ride if I am in a go fast mood. Generally, I ride the CB1100 when I want to relax, look and feel cool and just go for a ride. There's plenty of power for that and more.

Again, don't mean to be critical, or disrespectful. Guess I just don't understand.
