Re: 1200 injectors for the 1100.

this looks decent - one of my throttle bodies is rattling a bit so needs replacing I guess...

Re: new to me R1100s - bodge fixing #1: Rear light

If it packed in would you replace? Travelling at night is best done on four wheels. I would not touch a used bike with a shitty stick that had these kind of mods *cough* :wink: Chris ...hang on, this bike has had a few previous owners, mainly from up north, and maybe north of the border. did you do...

Re: new to me R1100s - bodge fixing #1: Rear light

yeah, I always stick my lights on during the day - and here, where its a bit hilly, I am always getting blinded by Chelsea tractors (or whatever they call them now), but I do agree it's better to have something on rather than not, anything to make people question what is going on, and full beam to r...

Re: new to me R1100s - bodge fixing #1: Rear light

yeah, a classic bodge with this rear light!!! someone had clearly drilled through the lamp casing to remove the bulb and its clip (my guess is because they'd fitted a bulb with slightly different pin config and and couldn't get it out). Re the HID - there's probably not going to be loads of night ri...

Wanted x rear suspension big knob & those little luggage hooks

Hello,

My rear suspension strut is missing its big adjustment knob... anyone got a spare I can buy?

Also, does anyone have these little luggage hooks and plates that get removed when you fit your rails for the cases?
I'd prob need the screws too...

Re: new to me R1100s - bodge fixing #1: Rear light

The Hid will just be plug and play with the ballast secured near by. If you are going to remove it just unplug and replace with the new lamp. Oh great, thanks for the info ianbcr!!! Yeah, i have spotted the ballast stuff zip tied in the fairing, I need to have a read-up on it before I decide whethe...

Re: new to me R1100s - bodge fixing #1: Rear light

ooh it's nice to sort that sort of bodge out hope you havn't got any more thanks, yeah - it's pretty straight forward doing this sort of thing. I'm sure there'll be other things... it's got an HID front light and I have no idea what the situation with any of that is, so that's on my list of things ...

new to me R1100s - bodge fixing #1: Rear light

Hello, thought I'd share my bodge-fixing adventures with my new-to-me R1100s. When I got it home after it was delivered to me at work, I realised the rear light wasn't working properly (the brake light was fine). I popped off the rear lense and found a load of tinfoil and metal, and a strangely loca...

Re: Returning here and hoping to make more of an effort this time...!

It's arrived and it's great!
got delivered to me at work and I had to ride it home in the rain over the misty south downs.
There's a few bits n bobs I will need to sort out with it, but that's all part of the fun isn't it!!!
