Hi guys, new CB1100 rider from SoCal
Reason for CB1100, just liked it, now love it.
Favorite ride: slice of pie from Cocos 2up with my daughter.
Favorite bike: FZ1 was the most versatile but the CB has the most soul...

Great info on this forum.

Current mods:
cafe racer cowl
Air diffusers on top of cowl (work great)
Gutted baffle on stock exhaust
wide low motocross bars with cross bar in black
same license plate with no reflector tabs
wheel stickers/tape to make it faster haha
O2 sensor eliminate
LED bulbs for brake and turn signal
tank pads
tail bag for bread and a dozen eggs

Future mods:
Maybe header wrap (just for looks)
Slip on but gutted baffle sounds pretty darn good
Touring windshield for those 300 plus mile rides
Custom reupholstered seat with gel insert and "junk cradle"
Yellow lens headlight
Maybe turn signals but I like the look so we'll see
Fork inserts for rebound and dampening and stiffer springs
Fork brace
Extended tail rack.
Turbo charger... just kidding


Freedom on 2 wheels. The ferret
Previous bikes
CBR1000RR
FZ1 Gen 2
YZ450 dirt
SV650 naked
BMW RT1100
A bunch of borrowed ones
For Excersise:
Countless road and mountain bikes, currently Giant Propel SL1 and Specialized Enduro 29er Elite with Ohlins suspension

I find your lack of RLETs disturbing

'E' in the VIN denotes 2014. Missed that in the title. Probably answers my question about the year.
