Honda CB1100 ABS Parts & Accessories

The Honda CB1100 ABS is a modern retro motorcycle powered by an air-cooled 1140cc DOHC inline-four engine, reviving the classic air-cooled four-cylinder format of the original CB750 with modern ABS braking. Honda built the CB1100 series as a tribute to the golden era of air-cooled Japanese four-cylinder motorcycles, combining classic aesthetics with contemporary reliability and safety features. The CB1100 ABS adds antilock braking to the standard platform, making it better suited for wet-weather riding without changing the fundamental character of the machine. Owners maintaining or upgrading a CB1100 ABS find a growing aftermarket covering exhaust, suspension, electrical accessories, and cosmetic enhancements.

Popular Upgrades

Vance and Hines and Delkevic produce slip-on and full exhaust systems for the CB1100 family that improve exhaust note and reduce weight compared to the heavy OEM system. Cobra and Dynojet Power Vision fuel tuners correct fueling when a full exhaust removes the original catalytic converter from the 1140cc air-cooled engine. Progressive Suspension rear shocks improve load carrying and passenger comfort beyond the capability of the standard OEM units. K&N replacement air filters and Metzeler or Pirelli tires in the OEM dimensions improve airflow and wet-weather traction respectively.

Performance and Handling

The CB1100 ABS chassis is tuned for smooth straight-line stability and comfortable two-up riding, and suspension improvements focus on increasing rear shock preload range and fork damping quality. Fork spring upgrades from Race Tech or Eibach reduce dive under braking while maintaining comfort on rough pavement. Rear shock replacement from Progressive Suspension or Ohlins delivers improved response for riders who regularly carry a passenger or tour with luggage.

What exhaust fits a Honda CB1100 ABS?

The CB1100 ABS uses the same four-cylinder exhaust configuration as the non-ABS model, and Vance and Hines and Delkevic produce compatible slip-on and full exhaust systems. ABS sensor wire routing should be confirmed when fitting a full exhaust to ensure the sensor harness clears the new header tube. Standard heat shielding between the exhaust and brake hardware prevents long-term degradation near the ABS modulator.

Does aftermarket exhaust affect ABS on the Honda CB1100?

Aftermarket exhaust does not affect the CB1100's ABS system, which operates hydraulically and independently of the engine management system. The primary installation concern is ensuring exhaust heat from the new system does not contact ABS hydraulic lines routed near the rear wheel sensor bracket. A heat shield wrap on exposed mid-pipe sections near the sensor harness provides long-term protection.

Why These Parts Fit Right

Every listing in this collection is cross-referenced against Honda CB1100 ABS production years and chassis codes to confirm OEM-compatible fitment. The CB1100 family shares many components across ABS and non-ABS variants, and the fitment data here identifies which parts are identical and which are ABS-specific. Accurate part selection means fewer returns and a build that comes together without unexpected fitment surprises.
