Here is the latest pix of my two remaining CB1100's. The DLX is still a work in progress, but it does not look too bad. Several parts still need replacing due to fading and/or corrosion.
The mirrors on the DLX had corrosion, but the new Honda mirrors cost way too much. I found this nice replacement set for about $50 off ebay. Installed new Honda rubber base coverings and they look OEM. Nice shape too, and the quality is surprisingly good for the cost.
Beautiful bikes, Michael1954. I especially like the new mirrors.

Thanks, it was tough trying to find a pair that fit the bike and were of sound quality. The chrome is top-notch, and with the OEM rubber bases, they look like it came with them. I remember reading a post about the mirrors for our bikes, and no one could say they found a new set that fit the bikes. But, I really think these do.

The only thing I like better about the EX than the DLX is the front horns.
Come pay day, the new horns from the EX are going to be added to the DLX. I agree the DLX horns just do not match the 'class' this bike has.

michael1954: The visual impediments are not easy to spot in the image. The siblings look swell!
Blow up the front rim and look at the corrosion all the way around the rim. I already have a new front rim, with all the parts except the brake disc to go by Christmas. That is the deadline I have given myself. Starting back to work teaching this year, I have less free time, but my new school is year-round and we have 29 days off for Christmas!!!!!! With the 9 days at Thanksgiving, I have no excuse as long as my health stays good to not finish this bike.

WOW, lovely twins by cc, color and more
Seems two identical red oil filler caps??
Actually they are slightly different, both red Al Billet, but one comes off with a hex screwdriver and the other with a wrench, very carefully. I like adding a little red to the bikes, like the matching reservoir covers I showed sound time back. Also the DLX has Red Honda Valve Stem caps and Red Billet brake/clutch Levers!

I have yet to put on the new meter covers you sent me. See the corrosion on the two still on the bike. I am so thankful you gave these to me, because I failed to see that corrosion on my last walk around to order parts. With my cost already over $2K, every penny saved helped, again I thank you!
