oke, here we go.
see if it works with the pics.
when i bought the bmw, i first ride on it, but after 2 months i already wanted to change some things.
started withe the exhaust. put a Remus exhaust from a r1150gs. changed it a littlebit to fit the r1100s.

also made some brake/shiftset. (dont know hou you cal them

al the parts i make are from ALU 7075 aluminium: very light and nice to work with, and....stronger than steel.

Very nice pieces of engineering. I allways thought that the brakes where good as standard, but christ on a bike, I bet this one will stop on a tanner

i ride on the bike for a few months whit the other brakes and rims. the brakedisks from pvm had a hard time on the bmw....sow i bought some other disks from a yamaha r6
spiegler disks.
also started with the new exhaust. made it from stainlessteel pipe the use in the milk factory.
on the rear i mounted an aftermarked radial caliper from a moped, cheap and looks nice.
and mounted a shorter reaction arm

i thought the origional fairing is to big. sow i bought a Honda cbr1000rr fairing and mounted it on the bike, also finished the rest of the exhaust.
later the fairing went of, it was not what i was thinking it would be.
i like a naked bike more....
used termignoni race silencers from a ducati 916
the exhaust was a lot of work, but very nice to do.
