Hi Kees,
Some very nice work there. Very "Moi" I presume you designed all the parts as well.
I myself have done some modifications to my Beemer, I must say I think mine are a little more technical and radical, but you can see the originality of the bike still shining through...

nice work :) nearly there.
Nearlly but not quite, had bike running, all gears engage and disengage :D
Spent most of the afternoon hammering/grinding out the bolts from all the Y pipe and header pipes. Awaiting the arrival of friend with portable blow torch so that I can get some heat on the ...

Well the story so far.................
Replacement box fitted and removed and refitted, who's the turkey that put the release plate in the wrong way round :oops:
Its good to check things operate properly as you go along, rock solid clutch lever told me I'd made a cock up, 10 mins later cock up ...

Had'nt thought about that, don't know if I've got the time or the inclantion.

Nice job.
I see that you got rid of the airbox and fitted cone filters, did you fit a new chip and set it up on a dyno?

Very nice pieces of engineering. I allways thought that the brakes where good as standard, but christ on a bike, I bet this one will stop on a tanner

Piccies, hopefully

Done

Well done for not hitting the deck.

Maybe the best thing to do is get a bike that is tricked up like a police bike. That might make motorists wake up a bit more.

It won't make a blind bit of difference, excuse the pun,.
Mate of mine is a bike cop, he was doing escort duty for the Queen mum at ...

Progress so far, the box is out :D
How much swearing wasd there........................ loads :oops:
Its been 32 years since I was a mucanic, forgot how much spanner rash hurts :(
Having studied our folks photo's about g/box removal, I've definetly taken some shorts cuts, tank still attached ...

Well its been a while but the time has now come to sort this bugger out.
Its half-term, I have an 18k mile gearbox sat on the garage floor, new clutch plate and bolts courtesy of Motorworks, its a Sunday, a Bank holiday and its pissing it down :lol:
Will keep you posted on how I get one, firstly ...

Like the idea, but IMO I don't think it will come to much, will add my sig anyway. I would have thought that going for a reduction in road tax for bikes would have been a better option.

Our lass only pays £35 per annum for a 1.5 turbo diesel clio, in comparison with my £64 for the R1100S and ...

Where are you?
I've just ridden home from work in Bristol to Honiton, Devon. Had the sleety snow shit at Bristol followed by the impression of a drowned rat by the time I got home. We've got flas flooding all over the place down here

Had a reply from BMW UK, as I expceted thier not interested. the abridged version of thier reply is "Old bike high mileage".

Looks like when I have a free weekend its gonna be big hammer and lots of spanners time

Hi Mountain,
So sorry to hear your 1100s is broken :(
My 2001 1100s' gearbox 'expired' after only 36K. The bike did have a full BMW service history and after some communication with BMW UK my bike was fitted with a new gearbox at no cost to me.

Perhaps a letter to BMW Customer Services might ...
