Hi All,

New member here, what a wonderful resource... So glad I found this forum.

I live in Los Angeles, and am considering the purchase of a CB1100 with the intention of installing the full WhiteHouse K10 kit. I'm not, however, a do-it-yourself type (at least when it comes to bikes.)

Has anyone hired a great shop to do this installation in the US? And, preferably, has anyone worked with a shop in Southern CA to create one of these beautiful machines with the kit from Samurider?

Any info / referrals appreciated, thanks!

Best,

Joel
 
G'day and welcome to the forum, Joel. Good luck with your search. The WhiteHouse kit is a thing of beauty.
 
I am in La Quinta....I will start my build in November when I return from Idaho....I have the spoked wheels that I'm installing OUTEX tubeless tire kits in (these were take offs from Takashis' personal CB1100 EX) new Metzler tires, complete K10 kit in Candy Ruby Red, K10 seat, Ikon chrome shocks with long top collars, CB750 type mirrors, chrome meter covers, chrome chain guard, factory Honda engine guards, and chrome bar ends. This will be installed on my 2014 CB1100 Deluxe. The final item I'm still looking to purchase is a complete ENDURANCE RACING 4 into 4 exhaust from Japan......
 
Hey Joel, I'm in LA too. I usually do everything myself but with tires I went to Cycle Depot in Eagle Rock, 1644 Colorado Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90041. When they had my wheels off for the tires, they did the brake pads too since it was wearing unevenly for some reason. I felt like the guys were really reasonable price-wise and I didn't get a sketchy vibe from them at all. I betcha they'd do the install no problem. Good luck! Hope you get the CB, you won't regret it.
 
I had no idea what this kit was until I googled it. HOLY CRAP. New life goals. Too bad I could buy a whole new bike with the cost of the kit.

Thanks, will keep them in mind... ended up putting the CB1100 on hold in favor of two vintage Hondas, a VF500 and a CB-1 and will wait for prices on the 2017 1100 to drop a bit. Tough to justify for me at the current $12,000 asking price, unfortunately

Best,

Joel

Will definitely be lurking around, thank you... have to say I’ve been on a few different bike- specific forums this year, and CB1100 is not only along the most informative, but also the most inviting and friendly. Perhaps just the nature of the bike attracts a more mature rider than some others, But the conversations and acrimony that take place elsewhere have been surprising.
 
On one hand, the CB1100 with the Whitehouse kit is how I think Honda should have made this bike; on the other I accept the need to modernise the bike. It isn't after all, a CB750.

It's beautiful use2b.
 
I never get tired of looking at CB1100's, particularly that one use2be!

Thanks for the kind words about the forum joeldelman, some serious nice folks around this place.
