R1100S Custom Triple Clamps - 2nd Edition
Ok, Here they are...
There will be another run of a minimun of ten sets of tripleclamps made over the next 4 to 8 weeks for anyone that either missed out on the last ones or would like to get in on this new run of parts. I have made some minor tweeks to the part files and have slightly more finish options than the previous run, but these are basically the same parts as before. However, to keep the machine setup in check there will be no "original" style top clamp offered this time around. The last run of parts proved to show a very significant improvement in the front end performance of the R1100S over the stock tripleclamp setup. Here's a sample of some of the comments from 1st edition buyers: "felt no flex in the tight flip-flop transitions." - bikerfish1100 "Scott, I can't pick the right words to describe the handling of the bike with the new clamps. It has been transformed into a canyon carving machine! I've never experienced such high cornering speed and with complete stability." - mfrane "The bike goes to the line with precision. On a bend, road damage while felt, does not upset the direction now. I am not sensitive enough to remember the precise nuances of before and now, but all considered, it is a more planted ride, confident in direction and stable. The scissor effect has gone, the old sensation where the bars would move 'back and forth' as the fork legs hinged/twisted between the yokes." - Oyster "The clamps are really amazing. Bike tracks so much better at highway speeds and in the twisties. And they look great too. I ended mounting my bars underneath just so as not to obstruct the view. Also, your instructions were very helpful. Thanks a lot." - Niceboxer "It has really made a noticeable difference to the feel and feedback from the front end. In the hills on tight twisty roads where the front end used to flex and generally feel unsafe on real roads with pot holes and all, I now have alot more confidence with the added feedback. Where once the hard braking would make the front end squirm around due to the arse end pushing the front end and causing it to flex has mostly disappeared. I think the slight movement that I now feel is due to the extra braking that is now possible, the tyre grip now protesting. Extremely happy with the clamps, great finish...perfect fit.....great ride." - Geoff Anstey " +1 ![]() "Motoyoyo made a believer out of me after the clamps are installed. The front now has a much better feedback (like Sergio wrote). I do not get the vibration from braking anymore and tight switchbacks are so much more fun now. BMW should have done this from the factory. The fit and finish are first class. One does not get to appreciate the details of the clamps until installation time. Everything fits just right. Great job, Scott." - Moki "The stock triple clamps are so woefully under prepared for the job that you may end up thinking all shaft drive bikes wallow in the turns, not this R11! This bike has been equipped with a custom set of Motoyoyo billet aluminum triple clamps! These things improved the handling characteristic of this bike 100%..." - shreddr "To be honest at first, I was not sure if I was going to feel a difference. Well I'm here to tell you Hell Yes. I could pass folks with just breaking late because the front end was so solid. Then corner speed was up because the front did not wiggle. It just took the steering input and followed with NO Delay. If you where on the fence about these then don't be, ya it's a little work to change them, but anything in life that's worth it requires a little work." - captainasty 2nd Edition Options and Pricing 2nd edition clamp sets will be available with the "alternate" style top clamp only, along with a lower clamp. There will be three types of finishes offered for each set of clamps. All parts are to be buffed out to a polished finish and will be offered in any one of the following finish types: 1. Raw Polished 2. Clear Anodize (Silver) 3. Black Anodize All clamp sets will come complete with all new stainless hardware, new R1200S roundels ($27 list) and a full set of installation instructions. New Prices will be $550 / set This price will include free ball joint swap, as before, if you send me your stock parts at your expense. Free installation if you live close enough to drop by my place in Camarillo, CA. Also included is free shipping (previously not included) of all parts from me to you within the Continental US which includes up to $700 insurance. All others will have to pay actual shipping costs with a $17 credit applied to this price. Paypal fees included if applicable (previously not included). Payments are to be made any time prior to receiving your clamps Previously, 1st edition payments were made after the parts were made so that I didn't have to deal with returning money if there was a problem with the parts. This time around we are dealing with proven parts and a proven reliable source. I guarantee you will get your parts or you will get your money back. Contact me directly at fshartley@verizon.net if you have any questions regarding payment. Payment types accepted Paypal payment, Money Order or Personal Check (allow 2 weeks to clear) Here's some sample pics of the clamp style and finishes: Top Clamp in Silver - Clear Anodize: ![]() Lower Clamp in Raw Polished: ![]() Top Clamp in Black Anodize: ![]() ![]() ![]() Lower Clamp in Black Anodize (Note- finish will be more polished than this): ![]() Note- These Clamps are for Track or Show Use Only

Scott,
Glad to hear I'm going to get another chance at your fine clamps. Please include a pair of the raw polished clamps for me in your next run. I'm certain they will be a proud addition to my daily ride. Thank You, Jerry Miller

I suppose that "These Clamps are for Track or Show Use Only" is a legal thing. Right?

No, it's for your safety. Because you'll drive to fast with them. They are good for 30mph+ in the curves.

Jerry, you're first on the list. I'll be sure to let Mike know to save the purdiest set for you. I know how you like shiny stuff.
![]() Hey Sergio, I design pumps too. Sounds like a good spot for them. Track or Show Use Only...Anywhere else and you'll need a note from your mother or wife. Mike, I think we can guarantee 35+ mph in the curves.

Scott, the water pump isn't the engineering marvel as the ones I've seen at your place. This thing came out of my other BMW after the bearing failed... going into T4 at Infineon Raceway. It's now on my dining room table as the 'centerpiece'.

Hey Scott, the little button by the brake reservior on your bike, is it for your garage door opener?
I can't get over the fact that these triple clamps transformed my bike to such a fun machine to ride in the twisties. It's all about the feel and confidence. ![]()

No try, do or not do

I bought a set of these clamps and the handling performance improvement to my bike was incredible. I am purchasing an R12 (woo hoo!!!) but am debating whether I want to sell the R11 as is or part it out. My biggest thought is that it would be cruel of me to remove these clamps, even thought they are worth quite a bit as an aftermarket item. I guess i think the next owner should benefit from this handling improvement, that and the Wilbers, hopefully I can sell it as a package and let the new owner benefit from my highly selective and functional parts mix!
