I suspect that with regards to trim and body pieces, a lot of them are interchangeable between a 2013/14 and a 2017 CB1100. I see a few parts that look interesting but don't feel like the gamble on fit with the prospect of having to do an international return. Perhaps a manufacturer of a given part just hasn't validated fit on an older older model now that they are getting up there in age?
For example, there are numerous intake air covers which specifically list compatibility with model years 2017+. That would seem to preclude being able to use them on the older models. Like this one for example.

Then I ran into this listing for an intake air cover that claims compatibility with everything back to 2010 which just makes it more confusing.

I searched the forum and found a few discussions on specific parts, but I was wondering if anyone knows what is safe to swap versus what isn't. I imagine engine parts most likely aren't safe, but I can't imagine Honda retooled very much if they didn't have to especially with trim parts. I would be curious to hear other peoples feedback.
In the US, it was 2012 models (ABS, non-ABS), 2014 models (Std and DLX), and 2017EX. The problem is that the forum reaches owners from all around the world, and they were sold in different years, with different tank, seat, wheel, color, exhaust combinations.
So you will need to be very specific as to what you want to put on what, and maybe someone's done that or knows. Samurider may be the only reliable source of what fits what.
BTW, what year model do you have?

I have the US version of the 2014 Standard. I was mainly looking at possibly replacing air intake covers, adding a luggage rack (still reading pages of threads from 2014 on what is compatible there, lol) and heated grips, driving lights and a aux USB power source. It sure seems a lot more complicated than it was back in 1988. My brain was younger then though, so there's that.
