Anyone that's been hanging around here for a while knows that I have a preference for the 2013 model CB1100. The bike does everything I need it to do and I prefer the looks of this bike over all subsequent years. I've come to refer to these bikes as the "original" CB1100. Well this year I'm planning on taking things a step further...
It might be hard to believe, but I've never ordered anything from Mr. T (of Samurider fame) before. Well, I've got my first ever package from him headed my way as I type this note. It contains the Honda CB1100 Factory Seat (Japan model). The original CB1100 seat if you will (or simply the seat that appeals to a rather short guy with short legs like me, lol). I'll be curious to see how different the seat feels comfort-wise as I have absolutely no issues with the seat that originally came with the bike — hopefully I don't notice too much difference. But I'm sure that the shorter height will be appreciated when I'm trying to move the bike around while seated when parking for example, etc..
After exchanging a few notes with Mr. T, I will also soon be ordering the CB1100 Type II low handlebar to go with the seat. So look for a thread over in the Accessories/Modifications section in the not too distant future with some before/after photos. I guess it's been quite a while since I've had something to post in that section.
