Just wondered if these will fit my 11s single spark....found loads for the twin spark but not many for the single...

I don't think they'll fit.
In this pic, you have a twin spark. The carbon cover is held by the front upper and the rear lower valve cover screws.

I think this is a single spark. The carbon cover is held by two screws in the middle of the cover.

I'm sure about the twin spark (got one), but not about the single spark.

I think they may fit the twin spark but you would need to buy another two bolts from BMW and also the allen head nuts - the bolts themselves are about £26 each so would make an expensive addition
As above tho, pretty certain they won't fit single spark

I looked a while back for carbon covers (for single spark) and didn't have much luck. Boxercafe in the states (
http://www.boxercafe.com/R1100S.htm) do a fibreglass pair for $70. I did wonder if it would be possible to have some kind of carbon effect wrap applied to these, but didn't take it any further.
In one of their pictures they have the covers finished to match the blue on their race bike. Doesn't look too bad IMHO:

Another thing: Caption says: carbon covers for R1100 RT. This means they are for single spark.
If twin spark, then it would be: carbon covers for R1150 RT.
Remember, only the R1100S kept the smaller displacement when going from single to twin spark.
