(+1) Hard top boxes impair the appearance of the CB. However, their functionality is addictive.

I agree. Most top boxes are large and look like a trailing satellite.

The EMGO is small, inexpensive, and sits flat on the Honda rear rack. It can also be removed with the key, so the rack can be used.

Busy weekend. I installed my heated grips. They were a bit of a pain to install. I had a stubborn vent line on the gas tank that gave me some grief, but they are done. I installed a pair of Grip Puppies as well. Definitely gives the grips a better feel. Thanks for the advice! I also installed a usb outlet, pigtail for my heated jacket and an [url=https://admorelighting.com/product/e450-top-case-led-kit-ts/]Admore Top Case LED Kit. It was a chilly morning hear in Seattle, so I got to use the heated grips on the ride in. They work well, even with the Grip Puppies.

I am halfway to my 600 service. I already have the oil, filter and crush washer ready for that. With every mile I ride I love the bike even more, but I have started to notice a bit of front brake squeal. Any easy solution for that?

CB1100 brake squeal seems to be like a top ten topic here at the Forum.

Picked up and installed RLETs this weekend. Big Grin The power gain is amazing. I cannot recommend them more. Well worth the pain in the backside it is to install them. ROFL

It seems that the front brake squeal comes standard on 2017ex models
Confused

The rear brake on my 14 DLX squeals sometimes and for some reason it really squealed on today's ride. Goofy thing.

My front brake has a squeal sensor, apparently, that allows squealing only when there is a bystander to hear it...

I tried the Ferret trick of wiping the pad dust off the rotor and that helps a lot, except sometimes. See first paragraph.
