Sorry I didn't reply to this earlier. I don't check in that often, and the forum software doesn't seem to remind me when people have replied to my old posts.
I'm sure you've already figured this out, but for anyone "passing by", the V designation is for EBC's semi-sintered pads. The HH designation is for the fully sintered pads.
The reason I chose the semi-sintered pads for the rear is due to some stuff I read about the fully sintered pads potentially chewing through the brake rotors. This was a phenomenon discovered by Goldwing riders, and the Goldwing is a much heavier bike than the CB1100. Since rotors for the CB1100 are expensive with not many options other than OEM, I went with the less aggressive pad for the single rotor in the back
The semi-sintered pads did take a while to "bed" properly and provide a decent amount of stopping power, but nearly a year later, I'm completely satisfied with the semi-sintered pads on the back, and I haven't noticed any abnormal wear on the rotors, front or back.
With the lower weight of the CB1100 compared to the Goldwing, you could probably use fully sintered pads both front and rear with no issues. I'm pretty sure that several forum members here are using fully sintered pads both front and back with no issues reported.
