Re: My R1100R

Well, I finally decided to "upgrade" to a R1200R 2013 90th anniversary edition... so I no longer have the R1100R, It was sad to let her go but I don't regret my decision. Regarding video, I used to have a video on Youtube but apparently I deleted it. I went with the same configuration on m...

what do you mean by "fatter rear tire"? The original R1100R has a 160 something tire. Did you keep the original rim and just put on a 170 tire? Or what? If yes that is not a good idea ...

Yes, by fatter rear tire I mean a 170/60-18, no problems so far

Re: R850R Cafe mod help

Hello ginscoe, Good luck in your project, unfortunately I don't remember seeing so many R850R/R1100R cafe-racers on the web but I suggest making a search here and Google. My first recommendation would be to get rid of the non-tubular handlebars, Wunderlich sells the adaptors and handlebars http://ww...

Bling-Bling

Well, "La Malandra" got bling-bling, I added a chrome valve cover (cylinder head cover) and chrome alternator belt cover, both donated by my R1200C Avantgarde which soon will be getting the "triple black" treatment. Apparently the valve covers are interchangable between the singl...

My R1100R

Hello from Panama, Central Amercia, I've been lurking around for some time since I got a '95 R1100R early last year. Now is my time to share. Please access the links to see the pictures, I was not able to embed them into my post. https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/391502...
