HOW OEM IS YOUR CB ?

[peterbaron]

Just for fun and look, no competition and no winner will be declared.

How original is your CB rules:
* no visual mods, tires, gaiters, RLET's = do not care
* OEM upgrade/accessories 2010-2019 = OK
* aftermarket added accessories = OK, not replacements
* at least one pic is mandatory. Limit to three.
* aftermarket: wheels, mirrors, exhaust, pegs, handle bar, lights, seats, fender eliminator, cafe project = sorry, no
* cannot list everything = common OEM sense

My OEM upgrade/accessories: 16.8 L tank, rear rack, engine guards
Aftermarket accessories : side racks/panniers by SW Motech, top box by Givi, windshield by National Cycle, RAM attachments

Mine's 100% stock except for the aftermarket fork brace that the prior owner installed for some reason. I'd toss it if it hadn't already sullied the finish on the forks. He also installed a barndoor-sized windscreen, bar backs, crash bars, highway pegs, grip puppies, aftermarket mirrors and a K&N air filter. Once I took delivery of the bike, they quickly found their way to the bottom of the trash heap.

Honda OEM mods:
CB1100 Type II handlebars
CB1100 Japanese market seat
CB1100 chrome instrument gauge covers
RLETs

Non-OEM mods:
Staintune slip-on exhaust

I also have the Honda OEM rear rack for my CB but prefer the looks of the bike without it so it is only used as needed.

 

[Vic_imp]

pretty much OEM.
a seat cover, top case, windshield, grips and bar end weights. oh, taped wheels.

Vic, the website your photo is hosted on doesn't allow a hot link, at least to that picture.

Since you mentioned tank..... For me, it was mainly a visual mod, but the 18+ liter tank really has added to the utility of the bike...

The seat was also a major upgrade in my opinion

And finally, the tourmaster bags are fantastic...

tommymck, that's a CB750 with an 1100cc mill!

Some bike models have "bad angle shots".

I don't think there is a bad angle shot on the CB1100. Your image, Guth, is one of the best angles.

I agree that the carrier does impede its beauty.

Rocky, where did you get the magnetic tank pads?

Mine's stock except for:

• Superbrace that I won in a competition on the forum
• Daytona rack to support a Givi Top Box
• Healtech gear position indicator
• phone mount
• repainted side covers

I bought the magnetic sheets from mag-knight.com in the U.S. and cut them from a pattern somebody posted here a couple of years ago.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention in my first post that I replaced the side covers with a matching painted set from Mr. T. I didn't have them when this picture was taken a couple of years ago, but they can be seen in my original post.
