Welcome Schwartzkm,
You're going to have a lot of fun on that black beauty.
As far as salespeople go, I never expect much. By the time I go into a store (motorcycle or otherwise), I've already done my research and pretty much know what I want. It's been my experience that a salesperson's job is to make a sale and they're pretty much going to feed you whatever you're willing to swallow to make the sale. Actually, a salesperson who admits they don't know something would be a refreshing change.
Last week I went into my local shop to check out the '14 models and young sales guy (who saw me ride up on my '13) spent 15 minutes asking me questions about the CB1100
If you're interested in a Hepco and Becker rack and trunk, Motomachines is the only H&B U.S. distributer (that I know of). I ordered a chrome Alurack from them a few weeks ago and it showed up at my door about 3 days later. I like the Alurack because it sits high behind the pillion seat, like a mini backrest. I haven't decided whether or not to order one of the trunks that mounts to that rack, or to fit a backrest pad to the rack.
