Errr...I'm Nick H., not NASA.

That sounds rather messy. But this is all hypothetical unless I commit to a wrap for the whole bike, or get the hypothetical mudguard professionally painted....which would cost a bomb and wouldn't mat ...

Yes, the Motorworks people say they are brittle. I was wondering whether there might be enough clearance to allow a sheet of thin plastic to be glued inside. Maybe this stuff https://modelshop.co.uk/S ...

This is how it looks.

I'm getting an Alpinestars Tech Air built into a BKS leather jacket. I looked into all the airbag vests available in the UK. The Tech Air gives more protection than most, as it covers shoulders, ribs ...

I saw one recently and it was just stunning...a match made in heaven. Used K1 mudguards are Â£140 from Motorworks, excluding fittings. The colour would be wrong, which would give me an excuse for a ...

Thanks. I've got nice new steel hoses so far. No idea what pads I have, but I bought the bike from an independent BMW tech who is also a good friend. So I probably have whatever he usually fits.

No, I've removed it from four BMWs before. It's not an issue for the MoT. The insurers don't care either. Perhaps they've heard how dangerous it is.

Considering how much more bike it is than a K11LT it's remarkable that it's only 70lbs heavier.

It's good to know there are seat options. But I won't decide until I get to the North Cape. I would rather spend money on the suspension or a vinyl wrap.

I must add that to my list of things to test ride. But I have a feeling it will remind me of why I sold my Hayabusa.

Is it a good track bike?

Have you kitted out any of your Ks for track use with super-duper suspension?

'False positive'...I'll have to remember that. Such a restrained way of saying 'my effing bike is trying to kill me!'

Change the seat? Pfft. That's an American indulgence. We Brits prefer to suffer in silence.

If you like to suffer then that seat will certainly fit the bill.

That's cool that you found such a yo ...

Hi everyone. Just bought a mint condition bog standard K11RS with only 2700 miles. The technician has it all week while he waits for new bars to arrive. (The bike didn't have heated grips.) I'm trying ...

Tell me more! I don't understand this, because the K1 and K1100LT have the same gear ratios. But the K1 has an 18 inch rear wheel, whereas the LT has a 17 inch. Maybe the idea is to put an 18 inch one ...

Greeting, earthlings! I bought my first K11LT two and a half hours ago, and the first thing I did when I got home was google 'K1100 6th gear'...and here I am! I don't need more power, here in England ...
