I am working with them and Galfer to create a steel braided clutch cable and brake line kit for a 2017 CB1100 EX. When we are finished, Galfer will be able to sell a complete kit with instructions to anyone else who may be inclined to replace perfectly functional OEM brake and clutch lines. Smile

To complete the task, I coordinated with Sam from Parts and Joe from Service to gain access to a lift to complete the documentation requirements.

The moment I experienced occurred when I arrived at the Dealership. When I parked on Motorcycle Row behind the Service Department, I noticed a relatively new Honda Rebel 1100. This bike is often positioned as an all-rounder motorcycle, similar to how the CB1100 was marketed, minus the retro styling. Although the Rebel 1100 lacks the retro styling of the CB1100, it does have rider modes, a TFT display, and other gadgets many motorcyclists consider requirements for an everyday motorcycle. Conversely, I see most of those items as things that can break or interfere with my riding experience. Setting aside that discussion for another post, this post focuses on aesthetics and the riding experience.

As I parked, I studied the successor to my obscure motorcycle. I looked closely at the materials, engineering, and craftsmanship. It is a well-made motorcycle. After all, Honda reports that 40,000 were sold in the United States last year! For all that commercial success, I would still much prefer to own a 2017 CB1100Ex over a 2026 Rebel 1100. See Spec comparison below:

Although I it may be ia matter of taste, I believe the materials and workmanship of our CB1100s is unmatched:

My reactions were so one-sided, I began to 2nd-guess myself. Perhaps I am simply comparing the wrong motorcycle to my CB1100EX. I noticed a NT1100 also parked outside waiting to be serviced. It is also well made based on sound engineering, but my reactions were the same:

I encourage everyone, if we have rooms in garages, to keep our CB1100s and simply add newer motorcycles to the collection. My Cb1100Ex was manufactured 10 years ago and sold in 2017. It will look and run the same way it does now 10 years from now. You cannot replace the heart and soul of a CB1100. Have a great week. David]]> Contra Costa Powersports in Concord, CA.

However, to my mind at least, using the forum has two notable disadvantages: first, it requires a little more effort to place the image exactly where you want it in your post; and secondly, it is not as easy to recycle images you've already uploaded.
 
This post aims to provide guidance on using the upload attachments feature of the forum.
 
Step 1
You can't upload a photo unless you're in the 'New Thread' or 'New Reply' area of the forum. It can't be done from the 'Quick Reply' box at the bottom of each thread.
 
When you click 'New Thread' or 'New Reply' you get a new screen with the compose window/box. Underneath is the Attachments window/box.
[Image: 01-Attachment-window.png]
 
As instructed, drag and drop the image or click within the box to upload an attachment through whatever means your operating environment uses to let you locate the files you want to upload.

STEP 2
Upload a picture When you've uploaded a picture(s), you should see the file name of the picture(s) — I've highlighted it in the box below. You should also see the 'Remove' and 'Insert into Post' buttons.
 
If you do not see this information, the picture has not uploaded. The most likely reason is that the file size of the picture or pictures is more than 2MB.
 
[Image: 02-Attachment-uploaded.png]
 
This next image just shows what happens when you add another attachment. While it may seem to have no relevance at this point, I'll refer to it later.
 
[Image: 03-more-attachments.png]
 
 STEP 3
Now you have your attachments uploaded, you're done. You'll see the following. However, in order to post the message, you must enter some text in the Message box.
 
If all you want to post is the picture, and you don't want any text in the post, read on.
 
[Image: 04-Don-t-click-insert-into-post.png]

 
Click the 'Post Thread' button and your picture(s) will appear on the forum. If you click on the 'Preview Post' button, you'll see the following.
[Image: 05-What-04-looks-like.png]
 
 
STEP 4
You may be happy just to post the picture, but, as you can see from the image above, the pictures appear in a box headed 'Attached Files'. What if you want some control over where the image appears in relation to the text you're writing or you want simply to post the image without any accompanying text?
 
Click on the 'Insert Into Post' button (see picture below).
[Image: 06-Click-on-insert.png]
 
Your post will now contain references to the Attachments in square brackets. Place those references where you want the picture to appear in relation to the text. The screen should look like the image below. Alternatively, if all you want to do is post the images, you can do so now.
[Image: 07-Compose-window-with-attachments-inserted.png]
 
Preview that post and you should see something like this:
[Image: 08-Images-inserted.png]
 
 
If you haven't clicked the 'Insert Into Post' button for one or more of the images, your preview will look something like the following: the first two images have been inserted but the third hasn't.
[Image: 09-Preview-with-attachments.png]
 
As you can see above the attached picture that hasn't been inserted appears in the preview at the bottom of the post in the 'Attached Files' box. It will always be there in the preview and also in any post. You'll have no control over the placement of that image.
 
Reusing images already uploaded
You'll have noticed above, that once inserted in the post, the picture attachment has a number. That becomes relevant if you ever want to use the same image again. To find an image already used look on the left of the compose screen, or in your User CP. There you'll see, under the heading 'Miscellaneous' an item 'Manage Attachments'. It's highlighted below. (Apologies for the size of the image. I can't make it smaller.)
 
[Image: 10-Compose-window.png]
 
Click on it to be taken to the 'Attachment Manager' screen:
[Image: 11-Attachments-manager.png]
 
Let's say I want to reuse the first attachment (IMG_9459 copy.jpg). Click on it and it will display in a new window of the browser.

Copy the URL:
Code:
https://cb1100forum.net/forum/attachment.php?aid=375
 
Then either click on the 'Insert an Image' button in the compose window and paste the copied URL into it.
[Image: 12-Insert-image-with-button.png]
 
Click on 'Insert' and the image will display.
 
Alternatively:
 
Encase the URL in the forum's image tags which will produce the same result.
Code:
[img]https://cb1100forum.net/forum/attachment.php?aid=375[/img]
 
In this case, you get a splendid picture of my bike ...
[Image: attachment.php?aid=375]
 
You will, I am sure, have realised that the number at the end of the URL is the number that appeared in the square brackets when you originally uploaded and used the picture.
 
If you have any points of clarification or think I can improve the information above, let me know.

For now, as Bugs used to say, "That's all, folks!"]]>
