Greetings from Littlerock, WA - Perry - 03-06-2018 10:20 PM

I picked up a sweet 2014 CB1100 over the weekend! I've had my eyes on this one for a while and finally decided now was the time.

İmage

It joins a stable of a couple other CBs - 2 1980 CB750 Customs

İmage
99% stock restoration on a bike I've owned since 1980

İmage
And another that I wanted to have a little fun with.

I'm really excited to be here with the CB1100s, I've wanted one of these since they came out! I'm looking forward to learning about what I've got. I know I'm going to need advice on a seat and exhaust. I already snagged a windshield from Flytech99.

One little problem..... I can't ride yet. I had shoulder surgery earlier this winter and I still have a couple weeks of recovery time. At least according to the Dr. I don't know if I can wait that long, however. Its supposed to be a beautiful weekend. Wink

Happy to be here!

Yes it IS supposed to be a beautiful weekend! Great weather to be riding Independence Valley and out towards Raymond.

I'm just up the road in Steilacoom. It was certainly gorgeous today! Rode my 2013 for a couple of hours on the peninsula.

You will get a ton more information here than from South Sound Honda. I know them well since Dale is my favorite riding buddy and I buy my parts from Mike and Alan. But they don't know a darn thing about our CBs. ;-)

They sold very few, and nobody there has ever ridden one as far as I know. Literally no one. And I wouldn't believe them if they say they have. I worked at the South Bound store in Lakewood. My bike was purchased by me from the widow of a customer who sadly passed away a year after buying his retirement bike. So sad. All of the changes, mods, and accessories on my bike came courtesy of forum members here.

Welcome to the fun!

Welcome Perry! Beer
A little more about the "custom" Custom please?


RE: Greetings from Littlerock, WA - suhawk305 - 03-07-2018 07:47 AM

Beautiful collection on CBs, the new with the old! Welcome Perry!

Thanks, all!

OlyRider - yours was one of the first names I picked up on here - its nice to know I won't be alone! I bought my '06 VTX from South Sound Honda, and I like those guys a lot. Mike's great with parts info. My stock CB750C came from Capitol Honda when they were on Black Lake Blvd.

Bheezy - I've owned my stock CB750C since it was new. My wife and I took it on our honeymoon in 1981. We're still married and still ride together. The "custom" CB750 Custom I picked up for $600 in 2013, and decided I wanted to do something more creative after doing the stock restoration. I did all the work myself (with some help from my son on the restoration) learning everything from the internet! There's a great DOHC CB forum that helped me work my way through everything. I'm starting a third CB750 build with all the parts from the parts bike and motors I bought. This will be a track bike to take to our local track and have some high speed fun without worrying about getting pulled over!

If you can't tell, I love the Honda CBs which is why I'm really excited about getting to know the CB1100.

I think you will find the your new CB a hoot. It took me a little time to warm up to her but it's a solid ride.

Maybe in the "Other Bikes" thread you can add some photos of your 750's? I would like to see some more of them.

Thanks and welcome again!
