Discontinued OEM parts / extras

[funky-fab_imp]

Hello everyone,

I have been wanting to add a few extras to my 2014 CB1100EX and to my -bad- suprise they were all discontinued:heated hand grips, 12V socket, as well as any aftermarket exhaust appart from this one from Over Racing: https://www.webike.es/products/21793577.html

I am aware those questions may have been already but since quite a time has passed and the items proposed are no longer available, I was wondering if any of you can confirm what exactly are the incompatibilities, for example, between the heated grips or exhaust of the 2017 CB1100EX and the 2014 CB1100EX.

In other words, for two bike that are practically the same appart from tank, silencer and some esthetical parts, is it really impossible to retrofit the new exhaust? (I do not see the same dilema here than between the 1 exhaust 2013 and 2 exhausts 2014 models).

Part numbers do vary and as per the pieces provider's opinion, they are therefore not compatible. However, from a scale savings and engineering logic standpoint, I really wonder I this is true.

Thank you very much in advance!
