How much is your time worth? I did the fork swap in about 1 hour, but evidently I am pretty slow compared to other guys who have performed the swap. My time is worth a lot to me, and it just wasn't worth all the time and effort trying to make the stoke forks better.

I agree with you totally! I've spent a lot of time and effort trying to get the stock forks to a point where I enjoy the ride.
Guess what? I think that moment happened this morning.
Once Tom and I had pulled the Race Tech fork valves and changed back to the heavier Race Tech valve springs, it all felt right!
I am pleased that we were able to adjust the ride to where it works for me.
However, if the 2017 fork solution would have been available (or known) when I started working on the stock forks, I probably would have installed the 2017 forks (although I have no idea how they would work for me ...... it would have been done simply because Honda changed over to the the Showa Dual Bending Valves for a reason.) And I suspect the reason was that the stock shocks on pre-2017 CB1100s didn't provide a compliant ride for those of us in the 160# weight range. Especially on bad roads.
Anyway, if anyone wants to know what we did to make the ride more compliant for you light weights that ride a 2014, drop me a line,
Regards,
