CB1100 First Impressions

[rotor]

Let me preface this with the fact that I've yet to own any Honda CB that wasn't built in the 70's. I've had some dirt bikes that are from the 21st century but the street bikes have all been old school. Time for a change of pace.

And WHAT A PACE THIS BIKE SETS!!


Oh.My.God!

I'm going to get into big trouble! Big big trouble, with the LAW!

Lighter, more maneuverable and faster. Much Much Faster. The first mod I did was to transplant the radar detector from the 750. It's saved my hiney so many times I can't keep track. I'm really happy with it's sensitivity and ruggedness.http://www.adaptivtechnologies.com/gear/...r-detector


My first bummer: CATALYTIC CONVERTERS! What the heck ever! On a motorcycle? The problem is, is that I'm a pilot and I have free access to minor amounts of 100LL aviation fuel...


This stuff has been the nectar of the gods for all of the motorcycles I have ridden. It's the cleanest, highest octane(100) fuel I have ever used. And did I mention, free?

Now what am I going to do! I know that leaded fuel wreaks havoc with catalytic converters. But, 'LL' means low lead. Much lower than standard leaded fuels.

Are there other systems on this new-fangled CB that will be adversely affected by the 100LL?

I'm having a hard time not using that stuff in a bike. I'm still on my first tank of gas. It's 2/3rds unleaded, 1/3 100LL. And the bike rockets down the road...

So, I'm reaching out to you guys for opinions about mixing 100LL with unleaded fuel.

I consider the "global warming" to be the scam of the millenium. But lead is poison, I have grandkids, and I would not emit any of that stuff out of my tailpipe. Ever.
