wire spoke wheels

i think i posted costs previously, would have to go back through my invoices to be precise but the wheels, which was a completely bolt on effort with just my own labor, including tires/tubes, around $2000. Takashi supplied all the parts and the thinner caliper and longer brake hose are not in that number.

The exhaust system and center stand from Procaliber. I ordered everything for the 2014 DLX I saw, had some small bits left over. Probably close to $2000. While i did the installation myself, i farmed out the fabrication and welding to a talented machinist/fabricator. Left side exhaust requires two brackets which are absent in the 2013 frame. In addition, the ECU must be mover upwards and reoriented as it is on the 2014 DLX to clear the new center stand spring. side stand was modified slightly to move the kick down piece from the upper part of the side stand to the toe where it no longer interferes with the muffler and is still easy to see and push on when astride the bike. Or you could purchase the DLX side stand. I think the fabricator had 18 hours i n the job inclusive of repainting the welded areas, bracket fabrication, etc. probably half the time was figuring out what to do with the ECU. Ferret's pictures were very helpful. i am very happy with the looks and performance of this bike now, when io ride it to the Rock Store in Malibu or Autobooks in Burbank on the weekends, it always draws a crowd. I love my vintage bikes (70 Bonneville, 72 Dreer VR 880 Norton Commando, 76 CB 750) for easy riding and the performance and smooth shifting of my 2006 Ducati SS, but the CB1100 kinda combines all that with no worries about being stuck by the side of the road.
