But, it will slide the rear tire now!! So I thank my Dealer (Kirk's cycle) in Dalton, Ga. and took the long way back to the house. It took them about 1 and 1/2 hours because they had a rush in the service department at the time. Open on Mondays. I was told that they would have to call Honda to see if anyone had complained about their rear brakes on their CB1100. No company wants a re-call now of days. I will keep everyone informed as the weeks go by on this brake issue. For now anyways, I will just see how it will do! Keep those posts coming! You never know what may happen.. If your CB1100 is not stopping like it should in the rear, talk to your dealer. It can't hurt. God Bless....

Sounds like bleeding the line resolved the problem; I'm glad that your experiment indicates that you have to use the rear brake 'hard' before it locks, I wouldn't want the rear to lock if the pedal were depressed with 'medium' effort (some older rear drum brakes were unpredictable and exhibited that behavior).
