My error, I thought it was another poster that said that...I just went back through the thread and saw it was you, originator.
sorry,

USE SPOT HEAT, a fair amount of it too.

Before you assume the ABS brain is at fault, be aware that the BMU can have problems with ITS solder joints. While I can post some links to how to properly test the ABS, try checking the BMU. While ...

Hold anything that creates a strong magnetic field, near the rear wheel sensor. Leave it mounted and intact...just bring the magnetic field within a few inches. I use my transformer type soldering g ...

Hi, Mick! I did not mention your name, out of Internet etiquette! Yes, Mick and I had some E-mails flailing back and forth, over this same numbered bulb-monitoring unit....he was sure I was wro ...

Just a note on the K1100 bulb monitor boxes. There are two known versions. One uses three reed relays, the yellow colored reed relays are made by Clare, type "CUP S 10008"....no longer ava ...

I have a K bike Police (Authorities) "Radio Telephone Box" (as BMW calls it), with a Bill Mayer upholstered Police solo seat to match, and all the bracketry, etc.,..... to sell, or trade. T ...

Somewhat of what I did. I assembled the rear drive yoke to the driveshaft as close as possible to the position where the yokes closest to the driveshaft were as identical in orientation as possible. ...

The driveshaft itself, and the U-joints, and the splines, all looked very good, as did everything except the Paralever bearing inners (still usable though), and maybe the cardan seal. I ordered one o ...

Thanks for the advice, Mick. I was going to try to research the factory book on driveshaft removal, but ran out of time....Wifey has informed me that I shall wear a Tux and take her to the Fireman's ...

Thanks, Mick. It really never occurred to me that I could pull the driveshaft with its forward U-joint, all out to the rear without disconnecting something at the front. I can't really even hardly ...

BMW specifies a very strong Loctite for those pins and locknut. In my factory manual they even specify using the Loctite full length on the threads. Unless you are very lucky, using a high quality ...

I have the rear drive off my 93 K11LT, to inspect the Paralever bearings, and rear splines, and do other minor maintenance. I feel that the U-joints should be synchronized upon re-assembly, even th ...

Thanks!
Since those photos were taken I have done a number of things to the rig, both the tug and the chair. I recently finished making a VERY high quality top for the chair....almost ready to in ...

OK...too snowy (no top on sidecar today) to go outside for photos, but took some half-assed-OK ones indoors. Finished the article, and uploaded it to my Server. Has part numbers, modifications, in ...

OK....I will take some digitals of the handguard installation, and post them, to my website. in the next couple of days. I put the information on the handguards, slightly edited, on the website tonig ...

Following up on the prior posts:
I run a K1100LT with an EML sidecar. I drive it all year-round; which, in my area, means I drive in wet, snowy, COLD weather at times.

I wanted handguards (someti ...
