Made me panic about mine now - will get the bike out and take a look. It's probably worth a look but it's pretty obviously not a common problem. I'm sure my fork leg was quite a way away from "failing", but on the other hand I wouldn't want to ride it like that .... especially at track da...

I've removed the split fork leg and found another crack on the inside ( see pics ) !!! Post mortem dissection showed that it's caused by corrosion !! I've never really heard of this before ( in the context of any upside down fork leg ) so I wonder why ? My R11s has had a reasonably easy life, it's n...

Thanks for the kind offer Jez, but mine are BMW. I've bought a 2rd hd replacement already anyway ( next track day is looming ), thanks.

I was under the impression that they're screwed together - with a very fine thread. I'm sure I've seen write ups where someone has managed to unscrew the the lower from the tube.

Yes, I must admit I had a vague idea that they were screwed togther too ?

I suspect it may be corrosion that will have caused that. On two fronts.............. Metal oxide occupies a much larger volume than the parent metal (steel is 7 times greater volume) Corrosion can cause interstices which make cracking more likely. The alloy corrodes and swells - and cracks to reli...

PS It's never been down the road or anything like that.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/VGuVDrVd3kFmhQL38 Sorry it's a link, not a picture ... I can't add it as an image. Did a track day at Snetterton today and after a couple of sessions ( rained off after that anyway :( ) I spotted this crack on the ally base of my right fork Has anybody seen anything llike i...

I wouldn't discourage you from an S, it's definitely a sports tourer and loads of fun everywhere. Get the luggage and it'll munch the miles with the best of them and return good mpg and comfort too. However, there are boxer alternatives that fall between the S and the GS that are very much underesti...

Actually, I've also got an gc oe tank bag and an gc oe tail pack available for sale if you or anybody else is interested ? Suppose I should post properly in the for sale section .... I'll do that later if Skippy isn't interested ? All this for sale because my 11s is now my track bike and I can't see...

I've got a set in pretty good nick to sell at a reasonable price if you're interested Skippy ? I am the other side of the country tho' ? I'll PM you more info if you're interested ? PS Come and collect them and I'll re-key them with you ?

I've got a vgc SS Remus system ( full syst goes from headers ) for sale. I had it on my bike and it was fine but found it a tad too loud for me but she certainly sound very nice and felt just a little livelier on the throttle. It's got all the fittings ( springs etc ) and as I say it's in very good ...

I'm all for a bit of noise, within reason admittedly, it's saved my bacon a few times whilst filtering or approaching dithering biddies in their Micra's. Also, I'm not sure about the boy racers having a claim to be the noisiest, have you heard a vintage and classic rideout pass your house on a Sunda...

I'm planning to ride across to St Petersburg in the spring and I'm not finding much information online about what it's like to ride in Russia, if anybody has any tips or info resources I'd be very grateful ? I'll of course also be traversing Gemany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and possibly Estonia so ...

I've got Diablo Rosso III's for my track day exploits on my Yellow 11S, very pleased with them ( twice at Snett ) and they'll be back out a couple of times this year too
