I've searched for one, to no avail.
If one exists, and it's been around for 2 to 3 years, it could prove helpful to us. A treasure trove of info, particulalrly on accessories and, my pet project, aftermarket 4-4 exhaust.
Anybody know, or have a link?

Earlier in the year when I purchased the cb1100forum.com domain, I could find no evidence of any other CB1100 forums on the web. The UK-based forum launched before I finally got this site up and running. I believe there might also be a German-based forum around now as well. That's about all that I know of.

Well, I got the info I was searching for. About the R's Gear "Wyvern Classic" 4-4 exhaust system. There is a Japanese vendor named SamuraiRider.com that sells them. I emailed them, and a real japanese person, fluent in english, BTW, answered all my questions. He says the exhaust has provision for an 02 Sensor on a Xover pipe betwixt cylinders 2 and 3. The install is a straight bolt-on, no tuning necessary.
I am tempted...

I am pretty sure there is no Australian forum. The CB has been a very poor seller over here in fact you can still buy a brand new 2011 bike although not many remain now.
I believe (not confirmed) Honda have discontinued them here. I find it amazing that the Triumph Bonneville remains one of our best selling naked bikes and has done for years yet Honda cant sell the CB.
They has however to my knowledge been virtually no advertising done for the model, very little in the way of accessories offered (unlike the Triumph) and initially at least a $14990 price tag. Our bikes also come with plain painted engines no stripes a low seat and no ABS. But we do get the fabulous blue ones!
The retro CB1300 was also a poor seller here. I read on the UK Forum, dont know if its true, that 150 bikes were imported to the UK and that is all they will get.
Maybe Honda never intended the bike to be a volume seller, although you would think to develop an air cooled motor in a specific frame with an array of unique parts (instruments guards etc) they would be out to move plenty of them

It is a bit of a mystery, although I've yet to hear of any kind of sales figures for the Japanese market which it was originally developed for.
