Houtman, I'm sorry I missed you were first to problem solve, truly. I appreciate everyone's input. Teamvisegrip, good call on the oil change due to the unburnt fuel contaminating the oil. The part that sucks is I just changed the oil 700 miles ago. Oh well, better safe than a rebuild. Happy New Year and hopefully we all have a year of good health and well running CB1100's! Cheers
Actual Houtman, teamvisegrip beat you to the punch in post 6. Teamvisegrip is king!

Went to Honda and paid $23 for 1 plug, need to find a cheaper source, but the bike is running fantastic!!! What a difference. A little background, I never rode a CB1100, found a mint one with only 2300 miles, rode it and it felt choked down, so I thought. Meanwhile it was only running on 3 cylinders. It ran smoothly, just lacked top end power. I wonder why it didn't throw a check engine code or something? Now my new question is what, if any, damage to what could have occurred running it on 3 for ~700 miles? Mostly highway and I did run it kinda hard and up to 80 mph a few times It's running great now, especially with the mods. The 14" Delkevic sounds awesome by the way for anyone looking. I do have a problem with the centerstand rest on the pipe causing it to spin the pipe and then the centerstand rubs on the chain. I tried to tighten the bracket to the max and it's still spinning. Could I put some high temp RTV and kinda glue it? Any tips would be most helpful!! This joint has one of those carbon sleeves and it makes it a somewhat slick surface and probably why it's spinning. Anyways, thanks to all and be sure to KISS!
That is very good news Frank. Congrats with the result and garnering help from "the village".

It is great news, since I'm finally able to feel the power of this bike which is almost as much as my old cb919. I love it, this one is a keeper! Long live the village!

Yes, it takes a village to keep the CB 1100 running well . Could you than call us " The Village People " ?

I am 70 and more of a rocker from the sixties music scene.

Rock and roll is here to stay,
It's better to burn out,
Than to fade away.
