Hey guys!
I'm a proud new owner of a 2014 CB1100 (bought it about a month ago). What a great bike. I traded in my Yamaha Bolt XV950 (great bike btw, if you're into the vtwin air-cooled sportster style). The build quality of the CB1100 is amazing, I am loving this bike so much. It feels like a precise swiss watch when I ride it, all the mechanical parts just feel right in place and clicks right in (if that makes any sense). The CB is my new daily.
My other bike is a Aprilia Tuono V4, a total beast but actually very easy to ride.
Anyway, for those that don't like the stock mirrors, I actually went with the Yamaha Bolt mirrors and it fits perfect. I had to use 2 left hand Yamaha mirrors because the right hand mirror for the Yamaha is actually slightly shorter for some strange reason and the right side Yamaha is also reverse thread, so using 2 lefts is the way to go. Just a suggestion for those that are looking for aftermarket mirrors. I didn't mind the stock mirrors but I like the Yamaha mirrors better, plus I was already very familiar with them from my old bike. Anyway, I have some parts already on the way and can't wait to install them (arrow slip and chick design rear fender).
Here's a few pics of my bikes.
