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.

after that i bought some magnesium rims from a Honda 500cc V2 GP bike. (the one jurgen van de goorbergh raced on)
with PVM rotors.

Image




for the rear i had to make a spacer to fit the rim. because its mounted with a single nut.

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 :D

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.


Image

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.... 8)

Image

Image

used termignoni race silencers from a ducati 916

Image

Image

the exhaust was a lot of work, but very nice to do.

sow, already told the fairing had to go.....mounted a headlight from a husqvarna 570. i did some supermoto with it and didn´t use the headlight.

Image

lookes nice in aluminium. a lot of people ask me where the tank is from...hahah, only a few know its the stock tank.
