Thanks Steve.. out of interest, where did you get this info from? I could do with a good reference on the R1100S spec's (probably in my Haynes manual if i was to read it...)...

Not sure what the corner speed would be like, that is assume it does turn (although the video indicates some pretty trick mechanics for this function). http://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/2016/september/lazareth-lm847-mighty-maserati-v8-powered-behemoth/ More info @ : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

Guys, Re-building the forks as had a leak. Query: in removing the seals, i noted that both the Fork slider bushes are a little bit worst for wear on the face that the seal sits on...there's a little bit of evidence of it being a bit pitted/almost rusty.. My natural & default position is to repla...

Guys,

Can anyone indicate what spec. oil i should be using in the R1100S? There are plenty of threads regarding the process for replacing seals (which i need to do) & the oil, but few elaborate on what specific oil i should be using?

@Tunneruk

Specifically, which SDOC product as i couldn't identify the one you mentioned from a quick google?

Awesome stuff!

Guys, can anyone either point me towards the R1100S fixings for the windscreen or alternatively take a close-up picture of theirs. Or reccommend any particular fixings? I'm pretty sure mine had aftermarket bolts & washers accompanying the aftermarket screen it had on it; i have a Cee & Baily...

CBS Whitton are typically my local MOT & tyre-changer for my scooter; these guys are reasonable with a cross-knowledge. The other local to me is " http://www.ljmotorcycles.co.uk/ & use these for MOT last year (again scooter).. as i think may have been slightly cheaper; low-key, no thril...

Hey, I would suggest you give Steptoe a call (he's in Wimbledon so not too far from you & he's long respected in the community; not used him yet but he's good on honest communications when i've queried him on a couple of fronts). URL below for his website. If he can't do it i'm sure he will know...

Apologies for non comms recently ................... serious health issue coming to a bit of a head. Final assessment [ hopefully positive ] in 3 week's time. TJ, hope all is OK & all the best over coming weeks.. I'm likely to think about this seriously over winter once i have bike back on road...

For the experienced, what benefits does the larger rear give you (naturally size does matter BUT can you actually notice the difference & when its it best applicable?

Oh, be sure to check out the youtube video as well as per https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_AUotLAIfg&feature=player_embedded

With full doco commentary to boot!

Not a fan usually BUT this is just a gorgeous bike; the indicators are a bit too modern for me but the rest is very very good.. i think the paint looks superb.

@Tunneruk, as per my message via facebook, nice work etc & i will eventually attempt to drop in & understand costs involved at some point in the future..

Question i have, paint job aside, are you enjoying riding it?

Brad

I think i sort of like this paint job... Wasn't aware they did a special? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201607085654163/sort/default/usedbikes/make/bmw/model/r1100/radius/1500/saved-search-id/2c929aff4b0cbf5d014b0e4813280015/page/1/postcode/tw27ps?logcode=pp?utm_source=Triggered_Emai...

Guys, Has anyone got the best option for getting a live power supply for supporting both a gps (Garmin Zumo) & speed detector (inforad M1) to the R1100S? I want it to be connected to a feed that is via a controlled feed (i.e. switches off when key is switched off)? I'm no 'electronics' guru so a...
