Is it a BMW or you are talking about or an assumingly accurate observation?

My bike

Postby 626barry » Thu Jan 09, 2014 6:57 pm

Eyore there's nothing wrong with my bike it's just that I have to have 10 posts before I can put a wanted ad on the site (its the rules you know) & Tanneman yes my bike is a 2004 r1100s. Hopefully there will be nothing wrong with my bike tomorrow and I will have 2 posts and that much nearer being able to post a wanted ad.

No, sorry, don't get it - please explain.

More importantly, how did you get your hands on one of my primary school photos???????

Leasky & boxerscott for the past 21 months the bike has been perfect, but I'm now 21 months older & nearer 60 than 50 so need to make the bike more comfortable. Al all I need is some bar risers or barbacks a lot more cost effective than a change of bike.

There are a good few sets of bar risers going about, they were machined and exported by one of the members in America. I have no doubt you will be successful in your venture.......in due course. :wink:

Try putting the bars above the top yokes first, it worked for me and others. You will probably have to get new brake lines(+ 50mm on standard length) but you will need these with the barbacks/rises anyway, also footrest lowering kits may work with the higher bars.

I don't think I can fit a footpeg lowering kit on as I've just put a carbon belly pan on. I've tried the bars above the top yoke & it's ok for about an hours riding then the pain starts & as I'm away in Europe again this year I thought I'd see if anyone was selling some barbacks.
