Does anyone have a source, or know of an alternative, for the 1983 cb1100f swing arm chain slider, part 52170-MG5-670? Mine is falling apart and it's another NLA part.

Before I screw around trying ...

I'm getting a side cover from TomK. It's not perfect, but it's better than I have right now....

Long term I'm going to likely have to do something such as a repaint. We'll see how close the OEM cov ...

As the title goes, it really was a few days of “the good, the bad, and the ugly” with my 1100….I guess this is life of owning a “vintage” bike. If I wanted something easy, I’d go to the dealership and ...

That is awesome! Sounds great!

Well, I at least have one positive to report from the recent shutdowns/social distancing/etc from the COVID-19 outbreak.

I have two boys, a freshman in high school and a 5th grader. Both play ever ...

Rick or Tom,

I was planning on copying your engine lifting jig as it looks like the way to go. I had two questions for you.

1. Do either of you have a close up picture of how you are supporting ...

Tom,

Would it be possible, or would you have any interest, in having the CNC program modified to accept a more common m2.3 replacement such as https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LW0HIB4 It wouldn't be ...

If you can find the screw to go with them, I'll take a knob assembly.

That is so odd. I was just searching for his last post to see when the last time he was on here. Then I saw your post.

That's a great looking bike. I have a blue US model, but I always thought the Canadian blue version with the gold rims was the better looking of the two.

Brett

Those shocks are stunning. I hate to ask, but how much does a rebuilt set cost?

Brett

That is a good idea, and I know where I can get one locally.

Would anyone know where you can get the metal buckles for the strap? If they aren't available can someone take a picture and possibly ...

Would anyone be able to post or send me a couple close up pictures of a stock cb1100f seat installed? Side, back, top.

I'm putting one of the repro stock covers on to replace the hideous old afterm ...

I'm starting to plan for next winters work on my 1100F and as of right now, I'm leaning toward tearing the engine apart, replacing the chains and tensioners with Captain's goodies, degreeing the cams ...

The only negative about the lights I mentioned are that they take about half a second to go on after you flip the switch. This slight delay is pretty common in LED's, but I thought I would mention it. ...

I may try a couple of those. It says the base gets hot? Have you noticed that at all? 4500 lumens at 40w is very good!

No heat all. You can grab and hold the base while they are on. I checked

...

If you don't want to hang light fixtures, and you already have standard bulb sockets on the ceiling, try these:

I really want a set of those.....hopefully next winter.

For comparison sake, what are the stock 1100 duration and lift specs? I tried finding it in the manual, but I'm guessing I'm missing it.

B ...

That is a great illustration.

I always knew to keep about 10%-20% of the load as tongue weight, and usually tried to......however, a few weeks ago, I was carrying about 25 sheets of 4x10 drywall ...

I'm also interested. Mine works fine for now, but I know it's only a matter of time.

I usually go to that event, and it's a great time. However this year, I can't as we are throwing a group 40th birthday barn party.

So, if any of you guys make the trip up to the vintage bikes, and ...

I just ordered one of those pod cups yesterday. I figured I should make a better mount.

As for the Hindle, attached is where I mounted mine. Be careful that Hindle steel is very thin which makes ...

If it stays permanently on the bike, I'll probably get one of those pod mounts that was shown earlier in the thread and adapt it to mount to the bar. I didn't want to spend any money on it until I kne ...

I just looked on my phone, and I had a picture from last year showing it.

See attached.

I made sheet metal cover to go in place of the factory plastic cover where the key is. I painted it black to blend in. It could have been more elaborate if I had a bit more fab skill, but for temporar ...

I was eyeing that Schuberth for my next helmet. Looks pretty nice. Too bad it to doesn't come in the old Spencer Arai paint scheme!

Without getting too preachy, I'll put my plug in for wearing a helmet whenever you are on a bike. I know a lot of people get emotional both ways, and I'm not mandating helmet laws, just giving my past ...

I went the cheap HJC route for years. They were ok.

Then, out of curiosity, I went to an Arai fitting booth at Road America during the races. They measured, changed pads, and fit it to my head. A ...

What is the mjn feature on these carbs? Do they have an accelerater pump circuit?

Wouldn't the rs series carbs be better suited to our bikes? They seem a lot like the fcr carbs while the tmr are m ...
