removing grips r1100s

Any tips of links to exploded view of dismantling the grip assembly. I have some heated grips I want to retro-fit with my own electrics but really need to get grips and the hard-plastic inner-tube they sit on. I don't have a workshop manual but was wondering if anyone does to explain easily how these components come apart (if indeed they do).

Does this help? It's for a 1999 model.

If you are only changing the grip do you really have to drain the clutch?

I hope not - armed with the excellent exploded diagram from BlueBoxer I will have a look at just the grips this w/e.

Tinkering with them I did take the top off the brake reserviour with the bars on lock and lost a bit of fluid - good example of why I need a manual to find out what I'm doing before I do it (R1100 is quite different in its engineering to my former Honda VTR)!

I must get a manual Do Haynes make one? or what is the best source of electronic manual on the web to buy?

I bought a cd manual off ebay for my GS, couple of quid and a BMW manual copy.

Had the Clymer for my last 1100s very comrehensive too... should've kept that me thinks, I let it go with the last BCR

I changed the brake master piston on my BCR............... What a job!

You'd think that they would size the piston spring to go through the banjo fitting hole (so that with the banjo removed - there is no spring pressure on the piston, and the circlip that backs up the piston would go in easy).............. but no - you need 2 pairs of hands to do the job

after making no progress for about an hour............... the circlip pops in!

Getting into the gubbins is a bit of trial and error, even with the diagram - but you end up with a lot more dismantled than you ever thought possible.

3466 is the Haynes part # but the s is really only an afterthought and the Bmw cd is probably better.
