CB1100 parts discontinuation has started

[flynrider]

I remember when Nighthawks reached the ten year mark, and Honda started discontinuing parts. I started buying up what I thought I'd need to keep the bike forever, as well as some parts that I figured might be rare and worth something someday.

Nothing on my Nighthawk ever broke or wore out, and years later, I'm still trying to get rid of parts nobody seems to want.

Besides body parts, my Nighthawk hasn't needed any parts that weren't easily obtainable. It's often the rubber parts that start to disappear first, but I was pleasantly surprised last year when I needed a rubber gas tank pad, since it's very Nighthawk specific. I was able to get one within a few days from the usual suspects.

The only thing I've stockpiled for the CB11 are oil filters and air filters. Not because they're rare, but they're much cheaper to buy in bulk.
