Hi - new member here. I just picked up a 2014 CB1100 in trade with only 400 miles on the odometer. It's the all black version, does not appear to be an ABS model, but I'm not actually sure yet - and no, I haven't even ridden it, but it sure sounds nice idling in my garage!
Can someone point out the differences in the standard version versus the deluxe?
I know about the ABS... the rear wheel on mine has a smaller slotted disc on the same side as the rotor. What is that for? Is it part of the ABS system that I don't think I have? The front wheel does not have the slotted disc.
I'm not a fan of "all black" but a trade is a trade and I was happy to get this. Rode CB750's back in the 70's and this a uber nicer machine. It also fits me quite good.
Looking for some tips, tricks, things I should know, things to watch out for, etc., if anyone cares to offer this information.
I'd like to move the handlebars back a little (risers? where would I get those?), would like to see pictures of the lowered foot pegs to see if I'd like those, interested in some kind of small windshield / fairing but didn't care for those bullet fairings I've seen so far, maybe just a nice clear screen to deflect wind, need to know if I should switch anything to LED, what is a good rear rack to obtain, and what kind of saddle bags would go well on this bike.
I like the threads I saw here on removing some of the black paint to expose the aluminum - now THAT is a sharp looking setup. Maybe something I'd consider doing next winter.
