Hi Gilles,
That's a great find. Complete with the all-too-expensive belly pan too. Just the rear bodywork and fittings to find. The RWB BCR bodywork is less common second-hand but they do turn up every now and then. A good UK resource is Motorworks (
http://www.motorworks.co.uk). They dismantle all BMW's and sometimes part out a BCR.
Josef's link is not one that I've seen before and looks good. Sebimoto (
http://www.sebimoto.com/motorcycle-fair ... w-r-1100-s) do single-piece Seat Units for when the track does eventually call. I've just ordered mine so I'll let you know what its like when it arrives.
Alternatively, perhaps it might be worth considering swapping to 'normal' bodywork for road use, its much cheaper to buy and pretty much every part is more available for less money. That way, you can replace the missing plastics for less and keep the BCR stuff for later.
That Dyno looks very good - I'd suggest not replacing any major engine parts until you've given them a really good inspection. I suspect that you will find quite a few tweaks and fiddles in there. Certainly dont change the Mapping for anything until you get a feel for the current condition, I'd bet it has the Lazer Chip that matches the exhaust (one of the few 'legal' race mods) or a custom-map of some sort or another. Check for Lennies Sprockets too, ported heads, bored-out TB's, In-Duct intake, Funky camshafts, etc, etc. In short, that's quite a good engine there, in terms of output at least, so it may well have some nice bits and bobs.
I pretty much completely missed the 2012/2013 season with my BCR (a new job after redundancy skippered quite a lot of my plans last winter), so over this winter I'm getting tons done. I'm probably making too many changes at once but that cant be helped.
So right now, the bike is off to be dyno'd and mapped again after this little lot got bolted on over the Christmas period:
Which consists of an 1130cc upgrade (albeit with low compression pistons for the moment):
Superflous shot of the new head and barrels during a bech dry-fit:
Reworked heads with a light skim in a thin attempt to claw back a little compression and port-matched intakes and some new valve-springs:
Reworked downpipe to delete the balance pipe and add a sniffer port to allow for independant cylinder mapping - there is some evidence to suggest that pot-mapping is a major power improvement. My tuner can do that so I'll get it done:
Since visiting San Jose BMW a while back, I've had a set of their exhaust accerators so they are going in too::
I'm going to try the Lennies Sprockets again, I had given them up for the track as the they brought the extra grunt too low down making for a difficult shift pattern on the lap and loosing out at higher revs in the high gears on the straight. Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of more gear torque allowing for less changing but the setup I had before didn't allow me to hold the extra speed in the turn - also my abilities, or lack thereof, was a limiting factor last time. I have reason to believe things will be different this time. I'd love a set for the GS but the BCR is priority right now. If time allows, I'll ask Simon to do a separate map for them. So I can swap them out and still have good fueling.
Not shown here are the new EBC Disks and Pads which hopefully will stop the annoying 'pad-melt' and the new, beefier top and bottom yokes. All to be fitted when I get it back from my tuner and hopefully before it goes back to Darren-the-Wiz at MCT for a final suspension tweak before the season starts. Unless I find a set of Ohlins first of course and then it'll still go to Darren-the-Wiz for a complete suspension setup, only with a lump of Golden Marvellousness bolted on each end as well as new brakes and a stiffer front-end.
@Corvus: It's always ok to PM me, Tanneman is perfectly correct to suggest it. I don't normally have enough time to browse the forums very much so to bring me into a topic, a PM is often the best way. I'll take a look at the Dyno thread chap, by all means. There are things to be said about comparing one Dyno output to another.....
A question: Has anyone out there seen/owned/played with/fitted/used or Dyno'd a DynoJet Ignition Module for the PC3? They are listed as an option but are not often used. I'm thinking that a custom ignition map would be the thing to do to make completely sure that the spark is arrive right on time...
