I posted a pic of my bike and someone asked me about the "mini" rear turn signals. I thought they were stock but when I went and looked at google images of 2013 CB1100s, they do look smaller.
Are these aftermarket, or what?

They are after market. The 2013 has large turn signals like many Honda models from back when. Turn signals on 2014 models were reduced in size but different from what is on your bike.

Yeah, I went online to see if I could find them and I found the guy I bought the bike from had the original lights up for sale on ebay! So I bought them back! I like both of them TBH, but it will be nice to have the stock ones as extras.
Anyone have a link to the aftermarket ones?

Those are even smaller than the 2014 turn signals. Good move in getting back the stock ones. Not that the minis look bad. But nice to have the option to return to stock if you so choose.

Those look like they have also been located backward to allow for the mounting of soft luggage without hitting the turn signals. Either way, the look pretty cool.

Yeah, kmoney, I think you are right about them being more to the rear. Images of the stock placement show the lenses about in line with the back of the seat whereas these entire units are behind the back of the seat.

The originals mount at the end of the grab bar(or garnish as it is called. Those look like they are on extensions. Maybe home made, probably bolted in the original hole.
