Since I haven't got my CB yet I have lots of time researching every part/mod that I might consider for mine when I go down to the dealer. The most shocking thing to me is the relative costs of bikes and parts. My '06 SS750 was $6k the standard '14 CB1100 starts about $10k. '06 V/H pipes were about $300 and the slip-on mufflers go up from $300+ each to over $500 and full systems over $1000 with the Pipemasters 4 into 4's going for $1,560 plus shipping. These Pipemasters sound the best to me but $400 per pipe to me is too much. I'm having sticker shock for all the accessories including seats, K0 kit ($5,200), pipe, wind screens, bags, etc. Maybe I am old or the aftermarket is just taking advantage of our bank accounts. Can any of the members brain wash me into believing today's prices are perfectly fine?
