Hello all, just picked up a 2014 CB, lovin the bike, but of course there's a few things I'd like to add, I'll do some more searching, but any help or suggestions from you experts would be appreciated.
- I'd really like a passenger back rest/rack combo...any suggestions on where to find one?
- Front crash bars, what is the choice and who makes them?
- The bike came with an aftermarket exhaust that can not be used with the center stand. Center stand is gone, is there anything out there that will hold the bike upright for oil changes and other maint?
That's a good start...all replies are appreciated.

Welcome jdinaz. I bought this rear passenger backrest and rack and had the bracket modified at a metal shop for $20 to fit the CB.

I also have the SW Motech bars, and they look great, are easy to install, and don't have any issues with dragging on the racetrack.

For your center stand problem, I'm guessing you have the Yoshimura exhaust system for the 2013 CB1100. People purchase the 2013 version because the 2014 version is permanently baffled.
All you have to do is contact Yoshimura to purchase the "center stand bracket" for the 2014, and you'll be able to use the 2013 Yoshi exhaust with the center stand.

Hey Welcome! I bought my brand new 14 about 6 weeks ago and have been having a ball with it. I cant help with rack and backrest but the crash bars i can. Ill second the SW Motech bars. They match the blacked out 14's finish perfectly. Install is easy too. Sucks with the center stand gone. I think that's why i got the slip on so it kept the center stand for maintenance etc. Anyway im sure lots of people will chime in with more great advice!

It came with a Moriwaki Eng exhaust. But perhaps they have the same option....thanks!

John,
Just read your post... still no center stand? I'd trade you for my 14 stock exhaust with the center stand??
Let me know.

Much appreciated Ace, but i really like the Moriwaki exhaust. It has a fuel controller and all. I think I have found an alternative for the missing center stand.
