:beerchug::beerchug:

If you just want the diamond side emblems here are the honda partnumbers, one for left and one for the right side cover;

and the right hand side;

Here's what you get;

Looks like the o.e.m. parts.

I am all for the "legendary look" past CBs. It speaks something of the model lineage. And maybe these emblems look better in-person on the bike. However, for some reason the images online look almost like "cheap" plastic model toy grade. Is that indeed the case? How durable are these after a few years under the sun? (as well as the "1100Four" when exposed to pant leg abrasion?)

I’ve had my metal emblems for 3 years on two different sets of side covers. I see no degradation at all. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been stopped getting fuel, etc. and someone asked me what model year the CB is or how “preserved” it looks for its age.

Really not concerned about their looks in a “few years under the sun”. I bought them for the present, not future. To each his own I guess.

you're all leading this member down the wrong path. This is the badge you should be directing him to

Here is one link: HONDA CB1100: Stickers / Decals - Webike

Here is one for the side cover emblems. Search: 137 results found for "Emblems"

That was a quick search for the emblems. I’m sure there are other sources.

These are exactly the ones I use. Webike for the 1100Four. Plastic with sticky tape. Same for the various diamonds-I used red. They look fine

Ah, ready for that new 2020 model, eh?

 

[misterprofessionality]

our bike is 1140! 1150 is a more accurate round TBH.

Ordered a set of the 1150 badges and the red diamonds yesterday.

Maybe.... if the model was called a CB 1150, but it's not. It's a CB 1100.

Exactly. Succinctly stated.

“Maybe.... if the model was called a CB 1150, but it's not. It's a CB 1100.” It’s ok to fix Honda’s mistake. We do it all the time By replacing the silver side covers with red ones. Adding RLETS, etc.

A wee bit of a sleeper? (CB1000)

Work on the engine sides remind me a little of the ol' '84 CB750SC engine block.

Here are the metal French ones, mentioned by mtneers...

Yes, that is where I got mine. One thing to mention, you will want to slightly bend the 1100Four emblem before installing to conform with the curve of the side covers. I'm very happy with them and people love seeing them on the "retro" bike. It completes the look.

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

KiowaEagle: Your specimen does appear quite authentic.

Alive. That’s all that matters.

Bought all the parts that got scraped while I was on the couch recovering back then- but haven’t touched the bike since the accident.

The E-Bay "1100Four" metal badges have arrived and they are of superb quality - better, even, than Honda's original plastic ones! They ha e self-adhesive tape on the back. I guess, being metal, that they could be GENTLY slightly curved to suit the side panel.
They're being added to my stock of parts to be fitted when (if!) I can get this Whitehouse project back on course.
