Is it the paralever strut you call paralever arm in your list? Both Roadster and Rockster has 385 mm paralever strut, the GS has 365 mm! And I don't believe that Rockster and 1100S share suspension, the 1100S has pretension(?) in the front set with a wheel through the tank, Rockster has pretension ...

thanks corvus and ganesan8770! i'm lucky it wasn't worse. i'm healing more and more everyday. the weather has been amazing in this part of the world since my crash and i'm really wishing i was back on my bike already! i'm just about to hit 10K miles on the clock and i feel she's just breaking in. i ...

Sorry to hear about your little misadventure #-o , good to see you made it through without many permanent reminders =D> amazed you got off the bike though....I always ride'em into the ground, bike parts are cheaper than body parts :-k BTW: there is a chap over here making a copy of the stanton head...

hello paul, i remember when i first tried on my R1 it felt fairly tight but felt just right when it was actually on. i struggled a bit taking it off but maybe not as severe as you. i think i got used to it as well as the helmet breaking in over time. like i said, it's super quiet compared to other h...

welcome to the forum red! this is a good place for anything related to the rockster.
best of luck with her...i have the citrus as well.

Glad to hear you're relatively OK Hydra. Thanks for posting about your mishap. We all learn from other's experiences. I'm curious to just where you encountered the bee. I ride those roads often. Was it on Highway 1 south of Olema? Anywhere near Five Brooks Stables? You mentioned your speed at the t...

If your handle bar needs replacing, you might consider a Renthal bar, they have all types and shapes and are pretty inexpensive. They can be found at any serious bike shop.....you might even want to imrpove your riding position.

yes, i was thinking of replacing them anyway...

Bike doesn't look to bad.

thanks ves and the bike seems ok!

EDIT: looks like i was a bit late on posting this. you must have posted while i was writing...oh well. if you're looking for a quiet helmet then i would go for the schuberth R1. i actually just had a crash with this helmet and although it was in the grass, i was traveling about 50mph when i hit the ...

welcome and best of luck with her! so it was love at first sight, huh?
post some pics...

hydra.....I'm glad you are well.....I've had two encounters with the little rascals and remmebre them like yesterday. One was in Gran Cayman, I had rented a scooter with one of those open helmets and the bugger got between the elmet and my neck and had a field day......TG, I was of clear mind and e...

hello people, THANKS FOR THE WELL WISHES :D well it looks like it will cost a lot more money to fix ME than it will to fix my bike! my friend came with me to the tow yard. we had to readjust the lower tree to straighten out my forks so he could ride it back for me. the headlight housing got banged u...

hello folks, 25 years of riding and this marks the first serious motorcycle accident i've ever had. i cant believe how fast it happened and how fast my body was tumbling over and over.... so i was having a great day riding up and around hwy 1 north of the golden gate bridge. i rode up to peteluma, r...

HAPPY NEW YEAR to you to zax, boxermania and everyone else reading this awesome thread.

hope you and nismo have a great and prosperous year!

boxermania, thanks for sharing your tech history. hopefully you will be able to pursue bikes again soon. you offer good info and insight in your posts. my main problem with tinkering is the time. the music industry is very demanding and most of my tinkering is with frequencies in the studio. but i l...

hydra ...makes me wish I was over there, it's fun to work with a purist Have always loved getting more out of an engine than they pundits say is possible , would have liked to have had a go @ boxermania's airhead BTW the l8 model 1100S was actually 1130cc..t :wink: BMW have a habit of keeping a lot...

hey boxermania, so what's your link to performance/bikes/cars? i really don't have any experience with engine's except for what i've picked up along the way from shop mechanic's and guys like you and zax on the forums. and just your basic run of the mill car/bike buff. i'm an audio/music engineer an...

ok hydra ..... best you can get without a monster price tag, would be 1100S cams high lift very responsive profile 8) cost me nothing but a cpl of spare days to flow the heads @ work then porting out to suit the new flow parameters, I never polish as it destroys the airflow, if you must polish some...

Is this type of mod street legal? Will it pass an MOT test or do you need to reinstall the baffle? Coppers accept this? So many questions ... so little time... :lol: telson, i don't think you should have a problem. it should pass MOT. but to be sure you should call your local bmw dealer... to clari...

hey zax,

what's the cam profile for the rockster?
you sold me on using the RS/RT pistons but you would recommend cams from the RS/RT as well?

how much does port/polish cost???

BTW, what's sort of work do you do? you said something about prosche and "we"...
