Performance upgrades.
#1

I was wondering if anyone in here has, or know someone who has, done any performance mods to their cb1100 aside from an exhaust and tune. such as Cams, forced induction, etc.

For starters, I know I will get some hate for even asking this, but I'll ask that if you don't have anything constructive or insightful, please move on. I'm well aware that these are not performance-oriented bikes. I've had plenty of people tell me to just get a sport bike, so if you do share this sentiment then I'd ask you to point me in the direction of a sport bike that looks as beautiful as the cb1100 does.

I am aware that these bikes are not terribly common, at least here stateside, and there is little in the way of aftermarket mods. I have seen supercharger kits for the cb1000r, and while I don't expect to find anything similar to that for the cb1100 I would like to know what some of you all have done if anything. Honda made an amazing large displacement bike with high compression, but choaked it back and speed limited it.

So far, I am in the process of a full exhaust, intake, and tune as-well as a gearing change for more low-end pull, Thank you all in advance. I don't mean to come across as rude however the completely unwarranted hatred I get for modifying my own motorcycle that I bought to ride gets old pretty quick lol.

You're not going to find that here. This forum is different than most.

Welcome to the forum Motormike7.

The search function here is quite useful. Alternatively, using Google to search individual sites is pretty effective too.

Until the weather breaks- this is the best you will find... I've done more since, but untested.


Unless someone is stepping up to challenge but is keeping quiet...
