K11 Owners Group

I hate Paypal and won't use them anymore after they took $5000, yes FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS out of my bank account and KEPT IT FOR A WEEK - for a $50 Angie's List subscription renewal that somehow got p ...

There was quite a bit of gunk around the outer seal so maybe the corrosion has built up a lip that is preventing it from popping out?

Not unusual with these MC`s, push the piston in and use a very ...

I have never seen a K1100 (and I've owned 4) that had perfect fairing or rear subframe alignment. They all seem to have a subtle tweak one way or another, probably from being dropped at one time or an ...

Great idea. I'll try that tomorrow.

Thanks!

Trying to rebuild the front master cyl - have the kit and following Phil Marvin's (RIP) instructions to do it on the bike. Anyway, I removed the brake lever, the banjo fitting and the stop screw. But ...

[quote="drikko"]I'll be in Sunnyvale for a few days in July, pity I won't see outside the office or the bars......bloody corporate sales conferences, hate them!! Stupid American rah rah shit ...

I have just logged in for the first time in weeks and am very sad to hear of Phil's passing. I never met him in person but was the beneficiary of his knowledge on more than one occasion. A good, hones ...

Nice looking bike - just like mine!

Enjoy the trip. Very Happy

Beautiful bike you have there, and a beautiful countryside. I well remember the spectacular beauty of the Scottish Highlands which I visited in 1993 or thereabouts. Drove up from the UK to Edinburgh, ...

I had the BT-45's bias ply on my LT until last year when I switched to an RS rim and the new BT-54 radials. They made a significant improvement in handling and stability. The BT-45's weren't that bad ...

I've been doing that for a few years now. sending everything back except that acutal application form(the shredder gets that).
Amazingly enough my Junk mail is down to almost none. It makes no sence ...

Great trip report - thanks for the excellent photos and commentary. I love southern Utah and spent a lot of time riding through that area in the 80's and 90's after I moved to Colorado from California ...

Brilliant - I wouldn't send shims or anything damaging like that but think the empty response envelope is a great idea. Anything to help stem the flow of junk mail I get on a daily basis.

Down shifts on the Beemers require that you carry a little RMP. I rest my foot on the shift pad as the RMPs back down and it will just drop down to the next gear. Kind like RPM matching in a big ...

Absolutely beautiful bike (and not a bad setting for a pic too). I love my LT - they are great bikes, especially in the cooler, wetter weather we're starting to get up here in the Northwest.... heated ...

Nice work!!!

Beautiful bike and great job of documenting the restoration.

My thoughts are with you Phil, during and after the surgery.

Regards,

John

Those are great tires - I ran the PR2's on my R11RT. I'm trying the new Bridgestone's this time around and the handling is excellent - very neutral.

Welcome Joe,

I'm across the river in West Linn... nice Mystic RS - I had a 93 in that color several years ago. If you're interested let's go for a ride sometime. You can PM me for my phone number ...

Thanks, got the kit, plan to do it this weekend.
