My new ride for the next 100.000 km's (?)

[hjr1100s]

Picked it up yesterday
















Things to do:

- put on the Zard exhaust
- put on the Ilmberger hugger
- clear lenses for indicators
- put on 'Piss on Japan' sticker
- put on BoxerTrix R1200S sticker ?

Very Nice, I think the Black/Silver looks very well. Be interested in your opinion of the Zard exhaust once you have a few kms under your belt. Shame you will not be joining us in Wales next weekend!!

Regards Peter.

Nice looking bike that hjr,nice colour scheme and the winkers in the mirrors look the dogs as well,well done!

[Gromit]

Looks v nice indeed - probably the sweetest looking colour scheme so far imho. The silver helps break up the black, but with the black wheels there's still enough black to keep it as the fastest colour

Very nice Henk, did you get that ordered from BMW as is.

How much extra did it cost to change all the panels around and get the black wheels?

It's not standard factory paint scheme. I just ordered the hocker in 'titansilber' and had the two other parts, top tank and front, done in the same colour.

The wheels are standard silver/grey, so I had them painted black.

Total cost paint job: €520,-

...maybe, just maybe an aditional thin red stripe, on the black bodyparts, next to all the silver parts could look good too...

...maybe...

Sure is mighty purdy, pardner... yup!

...maybe...

Oooh no. Ron. I know where you're heading at. First a thin red stripe on the black, then an even bigger red stripe on even less black, then a big red stripe with a small black line .... and in the end it will look like this:



... which is also stunning, but not unique... (anymore).

...Oooh no. Ron. I know where you're heading at. First a thin red stripe on the black etc.etc...

…ouch…you got me…

…that bike looks familiar BTW…

[RoLoo]

...I thought of something like this :



...imagine it with a tinted screen, white (or smoke) indicator lenses, and maybe a belly pan with these 3 colours (silver front, thin red line, the rest in black)...

...well, it is just an idea...

Very nice ! Can you see over the tank bag without standing on the pegs?

Thats not a tank bag...its a bloody two-storey extension In this country you would need to apply for planning permission before erecting something that big

Bike does look really nice though without the one-up,one-down on the tank.

Still waiting for 'that' killer paint job to arrive before I consider a change though. Ohh....and a small lottery win

[hjr1100s]

That's not bad, Ron. Hmmm.... I'll think it over.

The bag is big indeed, but not too big. It fills up the space in front of your chest and between your arms, but it's not obstructing the sight on the dashboard or upper clamp / ignition key. You can lean on to it, like a pillow. Naturally it does obstruct you in moving around when riding sports style. For me as a commuter it gives good storage capacity.

...glad you liked it ; this tape is (still) available at most of the Brezan stores...

Motip Starline
bright red = LB03AL 6mm (the same stuff as I have on my wheels)

Motip Starline
red = LB03AK 6mm (had this colour on the wheels before but it didn't match the Magma Red colour on the bodywork)
