My new 2013 CB1100 upgrades

[TCBronson_imp]

I recently bought a left over new 2013 CB1100 from a Honda dealer in Missouri and made the following upgrades to make it more to my liking. I like the retro look but can't afford the Whitehouse K10 stuff so I decided to buy a new reproduction CB750 seat cover off of Ebay for $40 and have it modified to fit my stock seat pan. Because the seat is now thicker I added Gen Mar risers, $85. Then I had the silver side covers color matched to the tank, $100. I just had to add the Kawasaki fork boots to give it that retro look, $74. I also added the Honda engine guards for engine protection $160. Added the Honda luggage rack, tail bag and a new tank bag. I have some soft saddle bags that I will probably add for trips as well. On my short list is a windshield and throttle lock. I have no idea why the text is so wide and the second picture is larger.

Looks great but needs the CB1100 Four emblem on those side covers.

Looking good! Got some storage room now!

Looks great! I love that seat. But I agree with Elipten on the side covers. AND, of course it needs RLETS!

 

[TCBronson_imp]

Thanks to you all! I agree, the side covers do need emblems of some kind. I will look in to doing something. I have the RLETS on order!

Ferret. The view format on this thread is off. Seems to be exceptionally wide. What causes that?

 

[Lord Popgun]

That big picture causes that.

I like that emblem popgun, but was thinking more retro with a 1100 Four. One of the forum members here mentioned the idea of a 1150 Four emblem that I kind of like because it sounds a little like 750 Four.
I resized both picture to be under 250K or so I thought.

The bike looks great TCB. Some members have a 'CB1100 Four' emblem on the side cover. Something like this one.

I think it comes with the Whitehouse kit and I'm sure Takeshi would be able find it for you.

Check this thread too for a picture of them on MotoGeezer's bike http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2481&pid=151872#pid151872

The forum software controls the size of photos displayed from a photo-hosting site, but doesn't seem to be able to manage large images attached. It has nothing to do with the file size; rather the dimensions of the original image. I can't find a way to reduce the image size in the original post.

Not too bad on my PC but on my Ipad the print looks like ants left tracks all over the place under a poster of a CB1100

Totally awesome seat! I'm moving forward on making one for my own. What kind of seat foam did you use; hard, mid, etc?
