Nice..

..nice exhaust..nice cut down fly screen..even the 1100 grab rail looks good..but where's the roundel on the oil coolers.?

All you need now is a wheelcap for that rear wheel..( http://www.users.bigpond.com/hayneskld/ )..to stop the water getting in.

What's that hanging down under the headers?....and where's the beak..

..you know you can't call it a beakster now..

Maybe it's to let the cats know that there is a quiet bike sneaking up behind them and could run over them if they don't run away..

When a Harley doesn't work its the bad spirits to blame, and not poor workmanship, so a bell is a good solution to keep them on the road

Maybe they should throw an exorcism in the package deal

A bell on an R is playing it safe ??

I suggest that it is more about selling bells for a questionable purpose. (always the curmugeon!)

You just need to get rid of that charcoal canister to finish the job. Nice!

I had an 02 in Black! Just could not stand the sight of wax around the little stickers on the tank.

(I removed mine) Leave them off, and you will be happy!

thanks for the compliments. you're awesome. to answer some questions, the beak & i parted awhile ago. as a matter of fact, the beemerboneyard gave me the r1100r grab handle in exchange for it. my bell was a carryover from my shortlived harley days. the roundels got painted over, but i ordered new ones to keep people from asking what type of motorcycle my girl is. the wheel cap is a great idea & "should" be the last comestic related thing i'll do.

as for the cannister, i think it is needed here in california, or is it? peace

I doubt if very quiet without the muffler. Probably not good for the valves either. These bikes are meant to be stealty, not loud and ostentatious.
