I'm sure there is a monster thread somewhere with mountains of info regarding brake pads. I'm one of the Vietnam members so ordering parts can be &$^$#^$%&^&
This is mostly to do with having no postcodes / zip codes and corrupt customs officials &^*&^%&^%
Anyway, where can I find out the list of bikes that the CB1100 shares it's break pads with? I seem to remember the front and rear pads are not unique parts. If I have a list of bikes it may make it easier for me to locate. I have used Samurider before but hoping for something a bit quicker.
I'm just about to do the first major work on my 2013 CB11 (30k km). It will be getting Ikon rear shocks (https://www.ikonsuspensionusa.com/7610-s...sorbers/), a Hyperpro Progressive Front Fork Spring Kit (including seals / O rings etc> https://www.ebay.com/itm/All-Balls-Fork-...2749.l2649 and https://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-CB1100-20...2749.l2649
It's gonna get new tyres (Bridgestone Battlax BT-54), chain, sprocket, other minor stuff.
These are currently on there way, so in 2-3 weeks I hope to have the lot ready for the big makeover. Any other bits I might wish to consider? (no need to change forks themselves right?)
My Bonnyville owning with OLINS fitted mechanic mate will help me get everything fitted. I'm especially interested in the difference in ride between original (5 years old) and new, and the differences the various Ikon settings will make with the new tyres. If anyone is interested I will report back.
I consider this my retirement bike (I'm 50), so plan on continuing to glide around Vietnam trouble free for quite a few more years yet. The retro looks certainly help with this.
