Yep they are the same as mine. I think you have fitted them a little low, they seem to run over the line of the fuel tank. Mine are fitted a little higher.

They came today. I took a few pics, I'll try and post both sides.

I had to put them down near the bottom, because my knees gripped them perfect down there. Higher up and your knees can't grip them.

Yeah, I had to mount them lower than I thought looked good. I taped them on before pulling off the backing, and they were too high for a good grip. Where they are now my knees get a really good grip. My inseam is 32" so for other members considering them, unless you have a 34" or more inseam you'll have to mount them lower if you want a good grip, or you want to prevent tank scratches from your thighs.

I'll be interested to hear what you think. They look OK.

I liked the feel a lot, gave a good grip in the twisties.

Here's the ebay link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/232346724027

I just found these on eBay today - glad to see someone on here already bought them. I had messaged the seller asking for pics of them on a CB1100. Thanks for being the guinea pig!

Agree with Cormanus - they look ok. I wish the shape followed the outline of the knee indents more closely. At least you have good knee grip now! That's one thing I miss from my last bike.

They do, although I think it's a pity they have CB1100 written on them.
