I have just recently purchased a bunch of bolts via a retailer local to me : http://www.tightenup.co.uk/ I'm quietly confident these guys will beat those advertised via the usual suspects for bwm parts... you may need to specify the bolt (even send them a sample).. Ask for Tony & tell them that ...

Anyone know anyone who does this? @ tanneman - yes i still have original hoses on the bike &...

Caliper Rebuild (or not?)

Guys, Want to ask a question - i had a few issues with brakepads a while back whereby the garage couldn't get the wheel (front) to turn on fitting the new pads (i.e. too tight). I thus pulled the calipers off & was aiming to apply a repair kit; on further inspection the pistons (ceramic) look fi...

Guys, Looking for some assistance as auto-electronics isn’t my strength. Having removed flaring to clean up bike, I also removed the headlamp assembly on a R1100S (99) which has a HID 35w having been installed by a previous owner, I’ve managed to kill the main beam from working; what does work is th...

What's that belly pan?

I sort of like this - anyone know anything about it: https://www.tradebit.com/usr/pecno1/pub/9002/96928706_R1100S.jpg I also sort of like this (i think the website is older than the bike itself) as well but more interested in the belly pan: http://corbin.com/bmw/r1100smug.shtml brad

Re buying from ebay; my concern here would be i could end up with something no better than what i have now!

Does anyone know if the front shock is actually serviceable? Spoke to MCT & they were not sure re front; a colleague has also indicated he is not sure it is serviceable either. MCT estimate for both shocks (if front can be done) is around £200 + VAT.
