Re: getting the itch for another sports bike
I was just coming in here to say RC8 but was beaten to it! I do like the 899 Ducatis too. And the 675 Triumph. Damn!

Re: System Pannier locks help - oops
Given the way the locks work they're pretty easy to pick. If you had written down the order of the wafers then even easier! That might be your first option. I'm pretty sure I managed to open some old panniers with the wrong key because it was close enough to being correct.

Re: Tyre pressures
I thought solo riding was 32F and 36R. The higher pressures are for 2-up riding.

Free 11S rear shock
Old and ugly but still works, albeit with 45k miles on it so don't expect Ohlins performance. I'd call it useful for anyone who wants to prop up the bike while they're servicing their own shock. http://i.imgur.com/XhwlraAl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/9DTLrTcl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/jBPeZrol.jpg Would rat...

Re: BoxerCup 2.0
Or even World Superstock. Similar restrictions - most of the modifications allowed are on the grounds of safety not performance. As with the British championship they can't use slicks either.

No idea why people are posting what tyres they have, that's not what he's asking!

Re: Long time 1150GS rider gets an 1100S
There's 2 preps/sports near me...both have SSport on fairing, R1100S Sport, which was a standard R1100S fitted with an optional "Sports" pack comprising stiffer suspension via a taller rear yellow spring monoshock, a steering damper, and a wider rear wheel and tyre no center stand. Defini...

Re: Long time 1150GS rider gets an 1100S
I've seen "prep" models mostly being described by Americans for bikes that supposedly were destined for the Boxer Cup series, which is why there were no centre stands, ABS, etc. I don't believe it's an official BMW designation and given all the things listed were just options anyway I'm in...

Re: Long time 1150GS rider gets an 1100S
I did the same, I used my 1150GS exclusively for a number of years then bought 2 1100S's in a row (I still have the GS too). I think you've summed up my opinions pretty well - the most obvious being a bit more power (because of the flywheel apparently) and how it's difficult to turn! I bought my fir...

Re: Cleaning up the 11s
I bought a can of Swarfega Jizer for that very purpose https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/059910035/
Had a quick go at the bottom of the engine before I put it on a jack and it did a good job but that's not the hardest thing in the world so I'll give it a proper test when I try the rest.

Re: R1100s indicator pod
Good idea. I'm doing quite a bit of work on it at the moment anyway (pretty much stripping everything in front of the engine) for a refurb and paint so I might be able to do a few of them. I'll get you some pictures at the weekend hopefully - I'm afraid I have twins a month old so my bike time is li...

Re: R1100s indicator pod
You're welcome! If you get stuck at all just let me know, I've got both my sets of fairings dismantled at the moment so can easily take some pictures to help.

Re: R1100s indicator pod
There's a couple of screws and a few little clamps which, for want of a better word, are wedged onto plastic tabs on the indicator pod. You'll need to carefully prise them off, ideally with two small screwdrivers and try not to break the tabs (which is very easy!) To be fair once it's on the bike th...
