New Cafe style low seat (about $400) and foldable leg shields (about $165) from Daytona, availabe from Takashi. Exchange rate is currently near 100 to 1. What are you waiting for?

That seat is very much like the one on the famous Mugen CB1100. Gives me hope that someone will also mold up a quarter fairing like the Mugen.

So how much is that special kickstand floor protector?

Who makes those air deflectors? That might really help for Winter riding.

"foldable leg shields (about $165) from Daytona..."

I'm thinking they are made by Daytona?

The seat looks nice, but the leg shields look really ugly. OMG - please don't do that with the pretty looking CB 1100! :o
It's funny, sometimes I think people here buy the CB 1100 and try to transform it into a long-distance touring bike with lots of accessories like fairing, wind shields, covering etc.. Instead, it would be worth thinking about buying a touring bike from the very beginning, e.g. a Honda VFR1200. Okay, the VFR is more expensive, but a CB 1100 with lots of accessories is also above list price.

Yes but the CB1100 is a do it all bike for me.

On the shields, I added gauntlets for winter riding but they are fairly unobtrusive and are easily removed when not needed. My thighs are a cold stop in winter riding, but I'll likely skip the leg shields.

I think one of the beauties of the CB1100 is that it can be transformed into different style bikes - cafe, street fighter, light touring, serious retro........or remain a wonderfully engineered universal Japanese motorcycle. You're right that it may cost more, but it's a lot of fun doing mods and making the bike your own.

I agree with CB4ME in that the beauty of the CB/UJM platform is that it can be made or transformed by it's owner to be anything you want it to be. I have a dedicated touring bike (an ST 1300) so I don't need the CB to do that kind of duty, but it does a splendid job of light weight sport touring duty with a lightweight clear shield and soft luggage (I've taken 2 muti state trips on mine so far) as well as stripping it naked and just cruising around. I have been really pleased with the CBs ability to be the swiss army knife of motorcycles in my garage.
