Recently bought a ‘14 CB1100 from my stepdad. He bought it new, it has 8k miles on it now. Love the bike!! From your videos I decided to do the fork brace and fender delete. It’s got the CB500 bars which are pretty much like what you have now, Delkavic exhaust, fender delete and rear seat cowl. Got a small front fairing on the way. Love the videos on this bike!!
@@phillyjaybro rear cowl came with the bike, just had to repaint it and figure out a mounting solution. Pretty sure the company that made it’s closed shop but I’ve seen a few other options out there. Fairing is a Puig Retrovision, should be in today. I’ll see if I can get some pics then.
Such a sweet ride. I found my leftover '14 in December of 2017 while just browsing bikes at a dealer. The salesman said it was $6,199 and that's all he had to say. I picked her up the next day. I've added some chrome bits to emulate my CB550 F from 1975 and a set of Arrow headers. It's a deceptively mellow ride that will pull to 100MPH in 3rd gear when you're in the mood. I used to do that on a couple of long freeway on ramps since the sound out of those headers is so intoxicating. But where I live that's a jailable offence if you get caught so I haven't done that in awhile. I have some great back roads with lots of elevation changes and this bike excels just chlling along in 5th gear which translates to 50MPH at 2,500 RPM and results in a nice deep rumble in your core. Nothing like it and though other bikes may come and go this one stays.
@@gwilliamwallace 100% agree. Amazing bike and will do whatever you need it to do. In Florida so gonna need to hit a road trip and find me some elevation one of these days.
How did you solve the problem with central stand and those muffler? I have the yoshimura muffler, but center stand does nonot have a parking pin to stay on like with the stock pipe, so drive chain contacts with the stand
Hey Mikhail! I just removed the center stand. I thought about getting a bracket fabricated and welded on to avoid it hitting the chain but I only use the center stand for maintenance so I just attach it whenever I do that.
I think you made the right choice. I am a bit biased as I have a 14 DLX. l put engine guards/hwy pegs on it, along with a Dart windscreen and it fills pretty much all of my riding needs, the rest of my bikes have very low miles as a result.
wrapping the pipes traps moisture and exhilarates corrosion.Its a mistake.How I know it? Did it myself and by the time I took it out pipes were all rusty.Sometimes looks are not worth $$replacing headers which are expensive
Funny I went to my local triumph dealer and saw this one. Considering pulling the trigger. I currently own a Honda 919 and was looking at the bonaville but love the looks of this bike. I’m going back to the dealer next weekend. I might get it if still available. It’s a 2014 with 6k miles on it selling for $7000
@@phillyjaybro love the 919 that’s why I haven’t sold it yet. I have it for 4 years but I only have one spot available in the garage, and I’m looking more for a cruiser bike.
@@CK-ie4hp yea seems like a sweet bike! Makes sense. I think the 1100 would be your perfect bike then considering it’s quite similar, but more of a cruiser.
Your valves should be fine on that motorcycle that’s like an air cooled car engine, but not a lot of high-performance so it should not need a lot of maintenance
The "washer" from the drain plug is really a crush gasket and should be changed every oil change. However its not the end of the world if it isnt on rare occasion.
The fork stabilizer is a game changer! Definitley a must have. I made a video about this as well. But the difference is massive and we’ll worth it! So much more stable. Feels like a new bike.
Hey Noel! I actually just removed the center stand. I thought about getting a bracket fabricated and welded on to avoid it hitting the chain but I only use the center stand for maintenance so I just attach it whenever I do that.
I do love the bike. So underrated! I've read all these comments about lack of power but it's got plenty! The max torque is there in a straight line from 2500rpm! It's a retro bike that would blow away almost any bike made before 1980. It's plenty fast. That plus the unstressed engine (yeah 85 rear wheel HP for an 1100 means it's hardly straining even when opened up and is gonna go for a lot of miles). There are 2 on Craigslist near Sacramento right now for under $6k both under 5000 miles! (In red)
For me it’s the dream bike just in the way that it hits all categories and is the perfect all around bike. I’d love to add an actual old school cb to the collection though as a project bike. I think that’d be fun.

thats a nice bike
And all the years I’ve only motorcycles, I rode in the rain plenty of times, and I’ve never ever had any kind of fluid in my breather valves.

What're the differences between 14 and the later years, for example the 19.
Nice video I love mine to I will have mine forever too😊
If you still have it I also have a cb1100 and I'd love to ride to Florida some time and ride with you.

Question for you, do you ever get carbon buildup/soot on the bike from that exhaust tip?
@@nickd1822 hey Nick. Negative! No soot or build up whatsoever. Have had it on there for years.
The "washer" from the drain plug is really a crush gasket and should be changed every oil change. However its not the end of the world if it isnt on rare occasion.
Good to know, thanks for that insight! Will have to swap it out!
Any updates on valve clearance. Checked mine at 32000km. Now have 65000km and wondering if I should bother
Повністю з тобою згоден, у мене honda cb 750. До речі спробуй мити цеп керасіном .
How do you like the front fork stabilizer? I think it's from superbrace? I have the same bike and trying to get that but they are sold out.

Great content brother, get ready for a chain swap.
