It's almost a UJM tradition to ditch stock multi-pipes for a 4 into 1. It's what made MAC, Yoshimura, V&H and Kerker famous.
I think that's one of the reasons Honda went with a 4 into 1 on the original CB11.
I was just sitting outside my local coffee shop staring at my bike, and could not find a single thing I would change about it. I wanted it to look like a period piece; that was the appeal that sold it, along with the great functionality of that brick of an 1140cc engine and terrific brakes. I don't need no stinking sixth gear nor a gear position indicator, nor an outside temperature indicator, tire pressure readout, stability control, or advanced trip computer. I've got other bikes with all that. The way things are going, in the next couple of years, the CB1100 will have gone to 17" wheels with a 160 section rear tire, full ABS/traction control, and so on. And then what's the point?
The only thing I'd change, possibly, is to buy the chromed plastic cover for the gage cluster. That would look nice.
