CB's max weight

[Tev62]

Those have to be KG and not pounds

Correct

Not CB1100 specific, but when I’ve severely overloaded my bikes in the past, the handling has become sketchy (less traction on the front tire), braking distances have lengthened, and the engine has felt more strained. Generally, the load rating of the tires and axles determine the max permitted weight. I’ve not experienced bent components.

I have been at 280KG (620Ib) load, two up, for a week touring this year on my Triumph which is 50KG over the limit of 230Kg. It shrugged it off engine wise but did neeed maximum damping to keep it under control. Same for me on the brakes, I did have massive brake pad wear on that one 2K trip.
