FYI - this is what I sent to Yoshimura and below it is the answer.
Good afternoon - I am interested in buying your full exhaust for my new 2014 Honda CB 1100 Standard Black Edition that I just bought off the showroom yesterday. However, I am concerned with a lot of reports that if I buy the full system I will have to take off the center stand in order for it to work. That said, a friend of mine, who has a 2014 CB1100 Deluxe Edition just showed me a picture of his bike with the full exhaust installed and he has the bike on its factory center stand. Now I am really confused. So a couple of questions:
• Can I install (bolt right on) your full exhaust to my 2014 Standard Edition without loosing the center stand?
• Will I be able to freely access the oil filter so I can do oil changes without removing the exhaust?
• What is the difference between buying the Machine bent system and the hand bent system?
Thanks - John

Hello John,
We actually have not had the Deluxe Edition in for fitment, but apparently, it uses the same full system since there are no slip ons for the Deluxe Edition. Either way, the full system comes with the bracket to allow retention of the centerstand. And I believe that it allows access to the oil filter as well.
The hand bent system was based off of the original Yoshimura Japan style exhaust, and it has been discontinued. We only have the machine bent exhaust system still available. The difference is the look of the header pipe.
I hope this helps you with your questions.
****Apparent are 2 things:
1. He didn't read my questions correctly because he immediately talks about the Deluxe Edition when I told him that it was a 2014 Standard.
2. He is not quite sure about anything here. Makes me uncomfortable that this guy is a Sales Rep for Yoshimura.
Lets wait and see what Mr. T has to say. I asked him the same questions!
