Gauge Mods

Is it possible to change out the gauges with aftermarket gauges? And can someone tell me where to get the gold forks.? 014 CB1100

Seancampbell777, try searching the forum. I remember someone trying to swap out the gauges with a single one and having terrible trouble. If there are other, happier stories, I don't remember them.

Here are 3 threads for starters:

I think one of the BIG problems he had was how to handle the data line. Don’t think he ever got that resolved.

The bikes after 2013 have a bi-directional serial data line between the meters and the ECU. That makes it hard to just swap in another cool set of meters.

Found these on the Odax site, but they are in kph. Same pix as before, but without Photobucket junk on it.

Have a link for Odax?

Not sure what gold forks the OP is referencing as it relates to the CB. The only model that came with gold forks was the 2017 RS that I’m aware of. They should be available via a Honda dealer since they’re OEM.

Thanks Michael.

Here is the link to the meters: HONDA >> CB1100（10-13） NSスタイル ELメーターパネル Odax/O.D.A.プロダクト

Notice they are listed for the 2010-2013 models. Those bikes do not have the serial data line. The 2014 and later models do. So I would say these meters will not work on your bike.

They sure are pretty, and pretty expensive!

It's been 4 days and the OP hasn't checked back in on this thread. Maybe he gave up?

The only mod I made is to zip tie a meat thermometer to the handlebars to know the ambient temp.

Now that is a clever idea.
