I'd have thought you guys all know what one looks like by now! But, sure I'll try to get some interesting ones on tomorrow's ride.

Thanks. I think we're all tragics. Many of us can't seem to get enough pictures. In my case it's because looking at pictures is easier than reading. Confused

Really? The 4.62 figure in the manual isn't to be trusted?

Well, it has been reported that the 14 dlx held an additional 1/2 gallon of gas..3.9 + 0.5 = 4.4

Then it was reported that it held 17. Something liters of fuel and that converted out to 4.5 gallons of fuel

The manual says 4.6 gallons of fuel

So somewhere between 4.4 and 4.6 gals (only a 0.2 gallon spread). All I can say definitively is I know it will hold at least 4.1 gals because I have pumped that much into mine.

RE: Greetings from the new owner of #295.
Alright, here's some more photos for you. There might be more, but it looks like only 5 are allowed per post. Went for a nice 140 mile ride today into some seriously brutal wind. There were times when full throttle in 6th gear got me a whopping 65mph! The tailwind on the way back sure was nice though.

   
   

Here's some family portraits:
   
   
   

I managed to knock the mirror loose trying to adjust it. And, of course, none of the tools Honda gave me (Phillips screwdriver, fuse puller, allen wrench or rubber band) were of much use tightening it. I went ahead and ordered the tools missing from the tool kit from Honda. Speaking of which, someone mentioned they couldn't figure out what the rubber band was for, but the manual does explain it. It goes on top of the tool compartment under the seat. Presumably so that when you take the seat off and hold the motorcycle upside down the tools don't fall out.

My first street legal bike was an SL350, cousin to your CB. Great little bike and bullet proof too. Enjoy the great new ride.

Great photos, berck. Thanks for the hint about the rubber band. I've been irritated by the tools dropping out when I turn the bike over to shake the fluff out from under the seat. More than you, I suspect, as we Australians get a decent tool kit.

Love the family photos of the 350 and the 1100! Classic, I remember those 350s very well even though I never had one. At that time I had the 350 Yamaha, black and orange tank that looked like a Triumphs.

RE: Greetings from the new owner of #295.
Thanks! Awesome that we've got siblings. I'm up to 4,000 miles and waiting for the snow melt. Haven't been around the forum lately, need to see what's new. Still hoping for some slip-ons for the 2014 so it doesn't sound like a hair dryer, is anything available yet?
