Hi all
I thought i should join in and say a big thank you to to everyone that has modified their 1100s, and give some feed back on what i am doing with mine.
Bought new in [space] 1999 and wrote off 1 year later, thanks uninsured truck driver,
Back on the road a few months later and i smashed the wheels to bits ,eerrrm a bad overtaking maneuver by me, honesty works
A gear box replacement-Thanks Rainbow Mcycles
A couple of gearbox rebuilds and lots of other work- Thanks Steve at Scrimiger BMW, Top Bloke
94000 miles later with lots of smiles i was looking for another bike and thought why not upgrade the s ? ? ? ?
So i started looking on forums and came up with the barrel of fun i have now.
A MEGA thank you to Lennie [Boxer performance AUS] for help with the Rocket sprockets and in duct and help after i screwed up the fitting.
Another MEGA thank you to Brad [Brad Bike Boy AUS] for help with the power chip and hunting down another motronics unit as mine was ancient.
The difference is phenomenal, coupled up with the earth mover K&N.
Now to the handling- usable suspension front and rear from ECM with remote preload. cheaper than one unit of ohlins,
a not so adjustable paralever strut so now waiting for my new Ramstrut
10mm conversion on the telelever-Thanks Realm engineering-Beachcomer This mod TOTALY transforms the ride and is a must for anyone thinking of serious miles or generally wants to shed the equivalent of 20lbs with the light feel and response,FANDABIDOZY
So i now have a very tatty r1100s that goes like s--t of a shovel that is mega short wheel base and SSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOO much fun to ride that i am back in LOVE with it again,
Oh yes the throttle bodies are at Scrimigers for his mod to the bushes.
I am at Sherburn every now and then and generally ride like a TWAT or so i have been told ! and the bestist colour is Mandarin Yellow with lots of girly stickers ouh err
regards nacnud
