Stupid slide!
#21
Really, really sorry pericle, please take care of these ribs first. One or two is bad enough. nine means you will STRICTLY need to do what your doctor says because it can effect your lungs' functioning long term.
If I can help with spare parts in any way, let me know. I know everything can be ordered and shipped everywhere nowadays, and Honda parts prices are pretty much the same (high) where ever you buy. But if I can help, I will.
Now, here is one thought in case your bike is an early model (13 or 14). Consider buying a second CB1100 at 4000-5000 Euros. There is no used parts on the market for the CB1100 (simply too few bikes sold). Take the parts you need and keep them. Consider selling the following parts at 50% of new: wheels (new 1500 a piece), tank (new 1200), saddle (new 800), exhausts, even engine, gear box ... etc. Sure, you have to put money down first. Since there are no used parts on the market, yours will sell quickly. You can see that "the parts are much more worth than the whole", and your money comes back within 6 months.

Oh, man, that bites the big one! Way back in the day, riding my CL450, I had two incidents of auto-tranny fluid on the road. No serious damage, except for my ego. The first one was on the curving approach road to Rio Hondo College, right in front of a crowd of people, and not one of them made any sort of move to see if I was alright. I picked the bike up rode away. The other was a stop-and-turn right onto Beach Blvd, after working the swing shift. Let the clutch out and the rear just kept coming around and the bike toppled over. Both times I checked and found streaks/puddles of red fluid.

Seems to be the world we live in. Undecided
