BMW R1200R R1150R/T F800 K1200R R1100R/T R1250R RnineT Message Board

Recently replaced front rotors and pads.
Was riding my 1997 r1100r with an open face helmet and could hear what sounded

but you could hear a contact like noise and a slight vibration in the hand brake.
Any thought????

thanks all for your info!

Has anyone purchased Aero Flow aerogards for their R1100R and if you have do you have picture after installation?
What are your thoughts on their functions and benefits?
thinking of purchasing same for enhanced touring benefits.

THANKS!

Re: 1997 R1100R Two of the lower bolts on the left side cylinder head cover that tighten the seal on the cylinder head do not tighten any longer consequently I have a leak situation.
