This happened at San Francisco BMW, where I've taken my ride for all servicing (since Marin BMW closed :() All my previous encounters with the service crew at SFBMW have been highly successful and I...

Thanks, everyone, for the feedback. When Michael first mentioned the "Hall Effect Sensor", I thought he was pulling my leg as I have NEVER heard about this! I thought HES was in the same league as...

Got back from a weekend ride and decided to wash bugs and road grime from my 99 R1100R. I'm always careful about using a water stream with pressure on my bike for fear of getting moisture into the...

That price quote seems pretty high. When I received the brackets and bolts for my fairing (see earlier post), I got a WUDO catalog that had my fairing at a REDUCED price! The guy I worked with at...

Yeah, and when they DO finally roll one out, it will come out as some 'nostalgic anniversary special edition limited' model in the $20K range.

Pffftt.

It's a Wunderlich spare key holder, part # 8160440. I got it from the Santa Cruz BMW booth in Spokane last summer. You can order one on-line at http://www.bmwscruz.com/. It comes with a K-bike...

Here's how my Wudo fit on my '99. After I got it painted, I was able to fit it more aligned with the dash. No sanding, cutting required.

Hope this helps.

Finding Wudo stuff in the USA is a pain in the arse. I found a new Wudo cockpit fairing through Bob's BMW and I got a great price because it didn't have any of the attachment hardware. I had no...

My '99 R came with a BMW touring windshield. Nothing got through that shield! Bugs, wind, cage parts. Nothing.

But, while extremely practical, I didn't like the way it looked and replaced it...

I wasn't planning on installing stainless steel cables but I found a set of brand new Galfer steel brake cables on Craigslist for really cheap (I think I paid $50) and bought them. I had heard from...

MarkF's fine looking ride was certainly one of my inspirations! :drink

I bought my bike with a BMW Touring windshield. The shield was very functional but I never liked the 'plexiglass wall' appearance. I found a WUDO cockpit fairing on sale through Bob's BMW at a...

Didn't mean to cause you a day's worth of stress about this :D

OK, last hint: "Law come to get you if you don't walk right."

Here's another hint, one of my all-time favorite Dead plates is "WALSTIB". DADARAN is similar.

Nice!

I had the following plate on my road trip cage for a long, long time:

DADARAN

The license plate frame around it said: "HINT: Better head back to Tennessee Jed".

Our road trip...

This is not a question or comment about conventional vs. synthetic oil.

My question is: Can you mix the two? :dunno

I've got 20/50 BMW oil (yeah, yeah, more expensive, doesn't last as long,...

The recent Bob's BMW email newsletter had this bit of news:

BMW Oil Price Increase
We've just received a bulletin from BMW to the effect that, on or about March 1st, prices for many BMW oil...

Anybody out there have a Cockpit fairing on their 1100r or 1150r? I like the cockpit styling but wonder how efficient it is at wind blockage and protection? I'm 5'10" and currently ride with a bmw...

Nice to see a thread related to two of my favorite things! Here's a pic of the sticky on my side case.

It took me a couple years after Jerry passed to venture back to see the boys. I couldn't...

Thanks, Anton. Unfortunately, this isn't a typical lock unit with tumblers that are exposed. The tumblers and other parts of the key/lock mechanism are contained in a metal casing that turns when...

Some %#@&!! cager backed into my bike while it was parked on the street. They didn't knock it over but they managed to scratch up the cylinder head cover and dent my Shoei and break the helmet lock...

Had my R in for Level One servicing recently and got one of those phone calls from the service guys. You know, the one where they tell you they found something and it's gonna cost more than the...

There was an article on how to do this in a recent Motorcycle Consumer News magazine. If you can't get it from a friend, let me know and I'll make you a copy.

Crater Lake, Oregon on my way up to Spokane!

Thanks for the info and pic. Dang! Expensive is right. $39 for a light bulb?!?!
