I never had a problem with numb hands until recently, then my hands would go numb quickly. The only change was new gloves. When I wore my old ones, no problem. I had the new gloves streched and the...
Lots of good ideas here. Barbacks/risers solved my problem with tennis elbow and clumbsy steering. I tended to lock my elbows with the bars of my R1100GS in the stock location. Recently, my right...
Keep an eye on the Owners News. I bought a set of Ollins with about 3k miles on them for half price. The seller was trading his GS so he put the old stock shocks back on. What a difference! :clap
I consistantly get over 20K miles from Metzler Tourance on the rear. I usually change the front about 15K due to cupping. They stick good enough to drag my boots with no drama.

My yearly dues to the Gateway Riders BMW Club, an outrageous $14.00 per year, is the best bargain in my budget. We have club rides almost every weekend, 6 parties, a progressive dinner, tech...

I installed that p/n on my '96 GS. The odometer is now accurate acording to the markers on the interstate. I haven't checked the speedometer, as I'd rather live than fiddle with a stopwatch at speed....
Sounds like the ABS doing its thing
The Aeroflow windshield is great for the road. Keeps wind, bug and rain off and eliminates the buffeting. It is vulnerable if you flop the bike on its side, so you may want to put the stock one back...
I had a similar problem on a '96 GS. The brake light stayed on an melted the socket/reflector. I had to replace the whole tail light assembly. The solution is a shot of WD-40 on the front brake lever...
