Here's my conundrum. There is so much excellent help stashed on this site from previous years that I really am unsure as to the etiquette (or the spelling of that) on how to thank y'all for when I find the solution to any particular problem/query. (Excellent search tool by the way ....)

Anyway, Bob is still making the Telferizer to order for the R1100S and what a gent. He happened to making some stuff and knocked one out for me, posted and it and told me "Pay me if you're happy or just post it back ...."

"More power to his elbow" as they say in Norn Iron.
Top bloke and top solution.

If I have a (very) slight criticism of the Telferizer mount, it's that it can come loose. It could do with a couple of flats milling on to it so you could get a spanner on it to tighten it. Had considered putting a drop of lock tight on the threads, but was concerned that I then might not get it off again.
This ain't Twitter you know!

oooo given how fine those threads are I'd think some loctite would be a safer bet than overtightening :)

Threadlock every time ... just be carefully which one you use or you'll only get it off with a grinder. :oops:

Just fitted mine today, what a pleasant buying experience and fitting took ten seconds. Mine has flats for a 11mm spanner to gently tighten it (two fingers near the head of the spanner). Road tested for around 100miles today at a variety of speeds, some even legal, stayed tight :D .
Ive put some pics up and a link to Telferizer in the Recommended products/services section.
