Stupid slide!

[pericleromano_imp]

Unfortunately due to a stupid slide at very low speed (a large oil patch on the asphalt) I got 9 fractured ribs and broke my CB1100EX (it was like new).
The cover meters was destroyed (especially the white inner part) which is not sold as a spare.
The left exhaust was scratched.
Anyone have experience with AliExpress cover meters?

Does anyone who has fitted the 4 into 1 exhaust have the left stock exhaust to sell?
Many thanks
Regards

Ah crap pericleromano, geez. Hopefully it will make a complete recovery. :-/

Get well, recover fast and solid!

Oh man, sorry to hear that! Get better very soon.

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

May you pericleromano also heal just as well.

 

[emptysea]

Can't help you with the bike parts and can only wish you a fast healing of your people parts. Good luck.

 

[misterprofessionality]

I can say with strong advice that anything from aliexpress is bad news. You don't want that substandard garbage on your bike.

Get better soon dude.

 

[Pauley]

Sorry to hear about your spill and injuries. Hope you and your bike are back on the road soon.

I'm also sorry to hear of your spill, pericleromano. I hope you recover quickly. Oh, and the bike too.

the meter is 3 primary parts (front cover with windows, white plastic shell with electronics inside, and black plastic rear cover). there are also the 2 metal covers for the meters and metal bracket that holds it to the fork. the disassembly is not complicated and is easier if you remove the 2 bolts holding the front headlight on.

the only part that is relatively expensive (and resets the odometer) is the white one... its about $900. can you repair the key parts (eg the central screw bosses) with epoxy or is it totally destroyed? do your gauges work?

 

[Obleo]

I would bite the bullet and get everything new , bracket, covers, inside guts etc. Also would go with all Honda parts.

 

[pericleromano_imp]

The black shells are good and the gauges work.
The white plastic is heavy damage.
The black shells are open (a little) and I can see many pieces of white plastic.

Now I cannot touch my CB for assurance practise.
In any case if the AliExpress's white plastic is good, I would like to buy it for anticipate the time....

Nice find max.

I wonder how easy it is to get parts like that from the USA to Italy at this time of COVID. It seems impossible to get things down under.

If I decide to repair, I will repair my instrumentation ..... useless to buy broken meters!

I mailed a letter... just a letter for my Mom-in-Law from California to Greece and it took over a month.

I would definitely try to repair your meter assembly before replacing it. I repaired my meter assembly using Guerrilla Glue, a clamp and a soldering iron:

Looks and functions just like new:

Good luck and heal up soon!

That's good info for a fix that hopefully nobody else here will face, but good to know it can be done in case.
