Hi all, I will be picking up my just purchased today 1993 k1100lt next week.
103,000klms, garage kept under a cover all it's life, all original paint, has the rear trunk, radio (removed), full history, factory bag inserts, all manuals etc etc.. Will be my second BMW. Bought my first, a 2018 R1200lt, last month. Wanted a great older second highway bike that qualified for the ultra cheap insurance here in BC being 25 yrs old ( $170 a year)...
Looking forward to lurking, reading and learning a lot here. I will try to give back when/if I know what I'm talking about.

Farkle1- WELCOME!
I had to clean up your post in a couple places but the YouTube link should work fine now.
You do IBA rides too? Double welcome.

Thanks guys... appreciate that. I'm about to dive in and see what I can find out about the rubber mounted bars, and any possible "fixes" that don't make it a buzz bomb lol.. going to enjoy my research. _________________ 2018 r1200lt

Hey Farkle,
Do you get to ride your Titan much? Back in the late 70s I had a Kawi H1.
Given how wimpy many bikes were back then, when the H1 revs climbed and the powerband hit, it was holee chit!
I know that the Suzuki 500 twin was a bit less nutty, but still- the 2 stroke feel and smell.......

Rode her yesterday! I try to keep the juices flowing in all of the stable inmates. Your right, not as crazy as the Kawi was but still a grin.

Well guys, I have read the instructions but somehow just can't seem to get it.. What am I doing wrong with the pic uploads? Here's a couple pics of the new toy.[img]https://www.dl.dropboxusercontent.com/sh/anciijoalhf5pdk/AACAFWT8aFVQuGI14QaXe_v6a[/img]

I edited your photo links. Apparently dropbox doesn't share photo's(3rd party hosting) nicely.....
I found this about sharing dropbox pictures:
https://milanaryal.com/hosting-images-with-dropbox-on-your-website/
primarily step #2 is what I changed in your photo links.
Your 1st photo in your 2nd post doesn't appear to be a complete file name... missing the .jpg and the file name isn't as long as the other photo's you linked.
Nice looking bikes.... _________________ Ride safe.
