I've given up on trying to grow up!! Given up the retirement thing and gone back to work, recent birthday pres from me to me-- a new Mini Cooper,did consider a new bike but haven't worn the old one out yet!! I "might" have done my last contract - but it feels like retiring early? WTF is t...

Well... range... The Official WLTP range for mixed driving is 273 miles. In Winter, in the pouring rain, at motorway speeds, that's nearer 180 miles. Now it's getting warmer, and I'm doing less motorway miles I'd say it's a comfortable 220 mile range, without having to drive like an old lady. Given...

There is 'orange' and then there is "WTF colour is THAT ?!?!?!? "

Actually - it ain't bad looking.

What's normal range?

I always laugh at the "GS Bleuch! - everyone's got one!" brigade....................... There is a reason for the popularity - stuningly capable bikes. The latest ones with the electronic shocks are getting a bit of a panning just now, so having the older simpler ones is a bonus I reckon. ...

Blackal you were right and so is the hype. I really like them they made a big difference, the fear of potholes has subsided and now I'm just enjoying my new improved bike. Money well spent ( instant seat of the pants improvment ) than say a new exhaust. Now when my battery goes I'm going to replace...

Must have missed the pics of your new wheels - too busy.

SO - whadya think?

Did you have to recalibrate your brain for them?

Very nice - and a jack of all trades.

The shiftcam engine appears to be reliable too.

Road 4 have been superseded by the much better 5 and slightly better still- Road 6. I don't think the GT incarnations of any of those - is correct for the weight of the 1100s though. They are designed for the larger/heavier tourers. sports/tourers. You won't go wrong with Michelin Road 5 or 6, but I...

They look very much like the BMW-supplied wheels for those bikes - I suspect they make them for BMW.

£3,400 typically - probably similar cost to others?

Blackal you were right. Next time bike is clean will try and post some photo's. With suspension settings what do you suggest backing off rebound and comp slightly? Jeez! I have no idea! :oops: Mark the starting point on each shock and only adjust one shock at a time. Just like raising forks to lowe...

Yes - they are instantly impressive!

I'm not sure what suspension adjustment you do have, but the reduction in suspension inertia might be worth adjusting for.

How about a few photos as it looks now?

That’s a surprising consumption.

I reckon your rear wheel circumference is low* causing an already optimistic speedo to be even more so.

* tyre profile or worn.

I posted my advice at 13:12 with the clip of the manual

Kevin posts on UKGSer at 18:40 asking the same question……….

Fcuk-it! I give up! (And no more PMs responding to queries - People are truly self-centred twats!)

THREAD RESURECTION..............

How did you get on with your CF wheels, Dobbo? Did you get them?

What make?
Did you weigh them?
Did you weigh the stock wheels?
What do you think?

Come on - photos and report, please !!
