time for batery replacement for 1996, R1100RS...anybody have experience with this?

Not on an R1100RS, but I've just replaced the batteries on a R1150R and K1200RS. The R1150R was easy, but the K1200RS wasn't a straight swap. The height of the positive terminal is lower than the original BMW battery. This prevents the Z shaped piece of metal that is soldered onto the positive lead from fitting in the same position as the original. I tried to reshape the "Z" but since it is attached to the bike it is difficult to work on.

Delivery only took 2 days after I placed the order.
