Sure, glad to help. On the invoice it says "08F72-MGC-D30 KIT,METER COVER", "08F71-MGC-D30 KIT,HEAD LIGHT CA".
These are the same numbers as in the official extras catalogue, http://www.honda.de/globalimages/pdf/de/...r_2013.pdf
(see page 3, in German though...)

They phoned me last Saturday to tell me the bike would shipped on Monday. Well, it's not here yet (Thursday evening) and after two visits to the shop all they can tell me is that it's shipped, but they don't know where it is. Needless to say, this answer is not sitting well with me and I am becoming impatient. On another note, they sold one standard 2014 CB1100 already, and they have a nearly-new 2013 CB1100 on the floor that somebody just traded in this week (did this belong to anybody from this forum?). It has a fairing, luggage rack, and an electronic tire pressure sensor on it. I asked the salesman what the previous owner traded it in on and he couldn't tell me.
I too am having frustrations with the process of getting my hands on a 2014. For starters, I put a deposit down on a DLX on Jan 22nd, the morning after Honda US officially announced it. Shouldn't I now be among the buyers who have already taken delivery and are enjoying their new ride? Alas, no... this is not the case. Initially my dealer said it was scheduled to ship from the warehouse on 4/8 and then it got pushed back to 4/21 which is where it sits now. I asked why that would be when other people, who placed their orders weeks or even months after I did, have already gotten their bikes. The dealer had no answer for me beyond "They show up when they show up." Awesome, thanks pal!
Can anyone here provide insight into why Honda is torturing me?
I'm with ya, mate. 20 days to go. It's a lesson in modesty and patience. If all our wishes were immediately fulfilled, we wouldn't appreciate the reward when we finally hold her in our hands (or rub our butts on her, ahem).
