Thanks for the messages. I'd be more interested in the top box and rack. When you figure out a price for it, let us know. I think it's going to be well over my budget though :(

That is awesome! If I get a rack I'm getting one of those. Cheers.

Re: Grafting luggage rack onto grid rack ideas?

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A BRAND NEW TOP BOX COMPLETE WITH TWO KEYS MOUNTING PLATE (UNIVERSAL) (ooop caps lock on I wasn't shouting really)- its a copy of a GIVI box right down to the plate fixings and the key shape etc. I found it on E-bay brand new £38.00 (Gvi would be around %£160). So far its done two...

Re: Grafting luggage rack onto grid rack ideas?

Sorry for the late reply. I thought I changed the settings to receive an email every time someone replied to a post, but apparently not. Dont let location deter you, we can likely work something out. I'd say even if you do me a good deal it will still be out of my budget. BMW luggage sells for squil...

He did a nice job with the rack on that 1200s. Looks OEM.

Re: Grafting luggage rack onto grid rack ideas?

Good idea. I don't take pillions so that could work. I actually bolted a box onto the pillion seat of an old bike I once had. I'm loath to butcher the seat of the s but maybe strapping it on like you suggest would suffice. Would the plate, or straps, dig into the leather and cause tears? I will Goog...

Grafting luggage rack onto grid rack ideas?

I'm looking for a cost effective luggage solution. I prefer topboxes to panniers, and hard luggage to soft, but I can't afford racks, plates and boxes. I was thinking of trying to graft a givi plate (or similar) onto the grid rack thing at the back. I don't have the cowl. It's a curved surface with ...

Re: Cheap Adjustable clipons for R1100S?

Wise words.
It's just the branded bars are 4 times the price, and they're probably all made in China too.
Might see if I can live with the old ones.
Cheers.

Re: Cheap Adjustable clipons for R1100S?

I can't see what advantage you are hoping to gain over the standard bars with these. Surely, your hands will end up with a very similar position to the original bars? The bar-backs, on the other hand will raise the position of the handles and bring them back towards your body, if its more comfort, ...

Re: Cheap Adjustable clipons for R1100S?

I forgot to mention, I was looking at a youtube vid of someone replacing R11s handlebars, and I noticed there were holes in the bars with wires threaded through them. I don't know what the wires were for, but could they be routed over a new set of bars? They're for the heated grips (if you have the...

Cheap Adjustable clipons for R1100S?

Hi. Any reason why these bars, or something similar, won't work? I can't find anything about them anywhere. They retail for about $30 on ebay. I used a set of similar Danmoto bars on another bike I had and they were brilliant.
Thanks in advance :)

Hi from Dublin

Just got a cheap and cheerful r1100s. I really like the motor, but it could be a bit more comfortable. Look forward to pestering you guys with lots and lots of questions.
