Very nice.
It has been interesting to watch the progress of this project. Some real clever people on this board. Look forward to reading consumer reports. Kevin Moore

For the lucky few who are getting them, keep the board posted on who easy they install and if any other cables or lines need to be replaced.
I'm looking to move my low bars to a better position on my R1100SA.

Will do ryker. I'm sure there will be some comments coming. We have 10 peeps out there who will be road testing them, many in the snow states tho'...
With standard over-the-triple-clamp (touring) bars, there's no need to change out cables or hoses. That's the beauty of it. Go to the link and read up. I'll be working on some simple instl instructions if I get time. BTW, they should ship next week.

Low Bars High Bars
Forgive the possible multiple posts, but I've had alot of folks ask me about the Low Bars and if these barbacks will work.
Here goes. I have a fella who bought my barbacks who had the Suburban riser kit. Evidently if you have the LOW bars AND ABS, you'll need to get a longer brake hose. Otherwise no other cables need replacing or lengthening. I have the HIGH bars (comfort bars) and didn't need to do anything but cut some zip ties. The point here is, the Suburban Riser kit was designed for the original S' which only came with Low Bars (below the tripleclamp). My letter to Paul... Hey Paul, Did your bike orginally have low bars? The first instructions you sent said something about sliding the fork tubes up thru the tripleclamp as I recall. I keep getting guys asking me if the barbacks will work with the low bars... Here's his response: My bike shipped with factory "comfort" bars (i.e., mounted above the triple-clamps) and ABS brakes. I did refer to sliding the fork tubes DOWN through the clamps, but this was only to re-route the wiring harnesses, as follows: "5. Re-route the wiring harnesses behind the fork tubes. Do this one tube at a time by pulling each tube down through the bottom of the fork clamp, pulling the harness over the top of the tube and behind it, then replacing the tube up in the clamp. (Leave the hydraulic brake and clutch hoses, as well as the throttle cable, in front of the tubes.)" Your barbacks should work with low bars, but, unless the bike has ABS, the brake hose will have to be replaced with a longer one. Check out Suburban Machinery's site below for details here. Be sure to read the "October 2002 update." (Note that Terry Phillips had marketed this "handlebar riser kit" before BMW offered their comfort-bar option. Supposedly, BMW patterned its comfort bar setup after Phillips's kit.) http://www.suburban-machinery.com/R1100S2.htm Paul Thanks again Paul! I hope this helps you understand the Low Bar question...

I though that Suburban says "On non ABS models a longer brake hose is required, BMW part # 34-32-2-331-915"
So ABS bikes prior to 2002 don't need the longer brake hose..??

I stand corrected...
Oh Fer Chricky!
A senior moment? Dyslexia? A symple type-o? Call it waht you will. It looks like I interpreted it wrong. "The latest R1100S models (after the spring of 2002 silver Boxer Cup series) are equipped with non-ABS BMW brand brake calipers. The handlebars are mounted below the triple clamp. When installing our HB riser kit, a new brake hose will be required. The most economical approach is an aftermarket stainless braided hose approximately 2.5" - 3.0" longer than the factory hose. The previous Brembo compatible hose will not fit the new calipers properly..." Suburban "Your barbacks (mine) should work with low bars, but, unless the bike has ABS, the brake hose will have to be replaced with a longer one" O.K. I get it now. If you DON'T have ABS, you need the longer hose... evidently the ABS bikes have a LONGER hose. Is that right?... I need a break...

HAAS
Oscar uses a HAAS VF3SS or some such model CNC machine.
He is very talented.
