Re: Laser vs Standard Exhaust?

Thank you both for your advice. I have managed to get the nuts off and strangely enough the nuts and studs on the right hand side of the bike look original but came apart very easily. I will certainly follow the advice in not rushing this job and the two rusted studs are currently soaking in ACF50. ...

Re: Laser vs Standard Exhaust?

A quick update. My bike has the standard front pipes with just the Laser Y section and tailpipes. Does anybody know if the standard tailpipes fit the Laser Y section? Also does anybody have any tips for removing seized, rusted exhaust studs? I don’t think that this issue was covered in the excellent...

Re: Laser vs Standard Exhaust?

It’s a 2-1-2 system.
Does anybody know if it’s possible to fit standard end cans onto the Laser mid section?
Best regards

Laser vs Standard Exhaust?

I brought my, new to me, R1100S home this weekend and having rode it 150 miles to get it here I can appreciate how great these bikes really are - you people on this forum aren’t wrong are you? Anyway, my bike has got a full Laser exhaust, complete with dB killers fitted. I am not really into loud ex...

Re: Bonding with the K1

Hi Steve, It’s really good to hear that you are enjoying your K1. They really are amazing bikes aren’t they? I was fortunate to find one that had been off the road for many years but having got it running again I am really enjoying riding it. They really are surprisingly modern. Can I ask, does the ...

Re: Nearly an S owner

Thanks Paul,

It does help and, despite previous bike restoration experiences, I am grateful for any ideas or advice.
Do you, or anybody who may read this, know whether these early bikes were affected by the dreaded worn spline issue?

Best regards
Mike

Re: Nearly an S owner

Hi Paul, Thank you for your welcome. It’s a black, 1998 S with panniers, with 32000 miles on the clock. The only modification that I am aware of is the full Laser exhaust so no cat. and the previous owner has retained the dB killers in the end cans. The bike appears to have been well maintained and ...

Nearly an S owner

Hi All, Another new member to swell the ranks! I will be picking up a 1998 R1100S next week and I found this fine forum whilst reading-up about the bike and hopefully you don’t mind but I have already learned a fair bit from you all about my next project bike. I already have an airhead that I restor...
