Looks like the Bosch 3300 does NOT fit the CB1100 after all.
The threads on the Bosch are significantly closer to the mounting point on the bike, which would explain the reports of leaks when using the Bosch 3300 on a CB1100.
Apparently the Bosch 3300 used to fit, but received a design "update" that makes them unusable for Honda motorcycles.
Pic included for reference. The threaded portion of the Bosch 3300 is a full 5 mm closer to the gasket, which interferes with the gasket seating correctly on a CB1100.
Hope this saves someone else the hassle. Fortunately I can use the Bosch 3300 in my car.
Repeat...
The Bosch 3300 does NOT fit the CB1100, and should be removed from the list of equivalent oil filters.
