Just scored this on ebay
. The 'ad' says, 'This was a very expensive accessory from BMW'. Does any body know anything about it/them?

its a belly pan. I have the same one. I think its actually an offical BMW part too - as mine comes with BMW stamped mounts and brackets.
Did they include all the mounts and bits?

No mounts with it, from memory (of the ebay ad)

£69.00+p. No fittings but I thort that was a 'snip'. Bet they cost a lot more than that when BMW were floggin 'em. If they turn out to actualy BE CF (as advertised) I'll be well chuffed. It won't take me long to knock-up some brackets next winter when the bikes off the road. Has anybody got any pic's or drawings so I can get started?

I had one on my first 1100S - it was around £200 at the time (2000). Quite a nice item, and better than the bigger BCR-style ones in some ways as it helps to protect the front of the engine.

proper blue weave CF - made by BMW. Same stuff as they use on the tank panel, heel guards and front fairing - I believe it all came fitted as standard on the "light" model. That front bottom peice does get a bit melted by the headers though from my experience. But it does a good job of keeping them covered up so you only have to polish up the bits that are exposed.

That's interesting mate. Don't suppose you have any part numbers?

Sorry no, mine came as it was with all the carbony bits already fittted. Rainbow motorcycles at rotherham have all the carbon bits in stock though, if you were after a nosy.

If your belly pan fits with the centre stand fitted to the bike the rear bracket drawing will not work because it
uses the mounting holes for the stand, I would also have a close look at the front to make sure it will work as
the brackets drawings are for a boxer type belly pan
Just my two pence worth.
