Hi All, It seems I have some gremlins in my electrical system. I have an 99 R1100R. My accessory port isn't getting power (checked the wires and they're not live), but I can't figure out where to go next to get them working again (all the fuses look good). More mysteriously, about a week ago...

Hey All, After being hit on Monday (stayed up, no damage to me or bike :Port), and a very different description from the driver than what happened, I'm looking for a dash cam set up. I'm open to helmet or bike mount, but am leaning toward a bike mount, hard-wired system over a helmet cam for...

I was recently riding up 80 and an SUV entered the highway and merged into my rear tire. I was able to keep the bike up. No scratches showed up on my bike or his car. When CHP arrived he said that if there is no damage and no injuries, it doesn't count as an accident. I'm super grateful there...

Hey All, Just got a super cheap 1200GSA tank bag. I'm trying to attach it to my 1100R, and have been thinking sewing on some webbing and buckles, or attaching a big magnet to the bottom. Would love your input! Thanks! Ben

Hi All, Recently discovered my bike (99 R1100R) was out of oil when it seized up on the highway. :thumbdown Immediately pulled the clutch, got a ride and refilled the oil. It now will start up and run, but it's rough, I have to keep the throttle rolled on a bit, and it's smoking. Bad day... I...

Hi All, I went to take the IRC course here in the Bay and saw SF isn't offering any, and Valejo is sold out for the next two months and I'm out of town for the one after that. Any suggestions for training at that level? Similar clinics? Doc Wong? Thanks!

Hey All, The spark plug on my R1100R is entirely seized in place. The shop recommended swapping the cylinder head out. I'd love to do it myself, both to learn and to save money. I've worked on bicycles for over a decade and can do anything on them. I've got basic mechanic skills on the...

Anyone have any experience with MRA brackets? I'm looking to replace the brackets on my r1100, which may have a few, ahem, additional aftermarket bends in them that weren't there a week ago. I found this for half the OEM cost, but would love to know someone else has tried it...

Hi All. New rider in the bay, and I just got a 99 r1100r. Loving it! However I'm discovering that finding a rear rack is no small feat. I've heard the Hepco and Blecker is good. Ideally I'd like one with a backrest too. I saw this guy at the shop the other day, but it's totally stealth - no...
