Engine Side Covers

[firstforward_imp]

G'day, firstforward, and welcome to the forum. The 2013 model had spray painted silver side covers; on the 2017 models they're polished aluminum. I saw both 2017 models while in the UK recently and they polished aluminum side covers.

Hi Cormanus,

Thanks for the reply.

It appears all model year CB1100 have had silver spray painted engine covers in the UK, the 2017 Honda website looks like polished in the photo's. I took this up with Honda UK last week, whilst they accept this might be misleading they have confirmed they are sold in the UK as silver paint.

It makes a big difference IMO, and a bit dissapointed with Honda knowing that the pics are not a true representation of what is on sale, are not going to change the photos any time soon.
