RS forks

Toying with the idea of putting RS forks on my CB.

Anyone here know the correct part numbers to order?

Thanks!

2017 RS parts are available from American Honda. The RS was planned for US intro, parts ordered and stocked, but was not imported. Parts catalogs for CB1100NAAC are on all the websites.

RBoe, did you do it? I’m looking at the RS forks but don’t know if they are plug and play with the 2014’s like the EX is

The brakes on the RS are radial mounted. I would think you would need new calipers at least.

Yea. Might be possible with a complete triple tree and brake swap.... but at that point... $$$$

Here is a good article to read-

I love my '17 standard SDBV forks on my '14- great upgrade.

Just be aware that the rear shocks will 'feel' worse afterward.
