1100S Belly pan hardware question

postal joe · 03-01-2009, 06:44 AM

I got my pan, and visited the local dealer to get hardware for said pan....372.43!!!!!

a bracket a couple bushings and a few metric bolts. I knew it was gonna be silly, but not insane.....so I have found some picks of the bracket which is the problem....I was wondering if anyone has the dimensions of said bracket, or a template, or has one laying around they could send me so my fabricator friend can make a few of the silly things.....any help would very appreciated. Or am I going to have to break down and order this thing....??

Thanks,

I had a BCR and the pan hardware was pretty low tech, but did seem specific to the bike and pan. In the rear there was 2 allen bolts but there was also some delrin bushings which I am sure are necessary. The front bolted up to a plate metal bracket that was bolted to the bottom of the engine. If you can borrow someones, it should be easy to fab, same with the delrin bushings if you know a machinist, otherwise you might want to buy them if you can.

I don't know what pan you have but on this parts fiche #5 might do the job.

here's the fiche for the BCR, that bracket is $200+ you ought to be able to make one cheaper!

thanks for the fiche, the dealer did give me a copy of it for free hahahaha. I have the bcr replica pan, i was hoping i could get one from someone, buy or just get a loaner, so i could fab one, (or at least my machinist friend fab one). The dealer wants something like 262 just for the bracket, id pay for shipping and give someone 20 bucks just to let me borrow one for a day or two.

the steel stock isn't much money and my buddy will weld and drill it for free, so i cant justify ( yet ) buying one from the dealer...
ps your 12s is sweet, love it with that pan

thanks throttle, i have seen this page...i was interseted in getting the actual bracket as a template to fab a few of these things. I've been getting answers to my wanted posts on ibmwr but they all seem like scammers its hilarious. One guy today actually called and said he had the bracket, i asked him what year r1100 it would fit...he asked "what year u got" i said"92" he says "oh yes this fits" wire me the money i send it right out...hahahaha its like free entertainment. I may have to break down and just buy it from the dealer.....again thanks!

Joe, I was just thinking.. would a tracing be ok for ya?.. it would definitely save on shipping.. I might be able to do that tomorrow.

postal joe · 03-04-2009, 02:47 PM

yes that would, i would like the bracket in hand for accuracy, i think the thing would fit in a flat rate usps box (cheap plug) haha i work for postal service....if u have the bracket and send it in a flat rate box, i will send it back same way and reimburse you the 8 bucks...tracing would be helpful as long as drill holes and steel width are traced as well.....thank you for your help

mullerjd · 03-05-2009, 08:33 AM

Joe, I made a tracing and measured all the key thicknesses and hole placements.. PM me your address and I'll sent that out for now.. if you still need the bracket after that, we'll try to work something out.. I just don't want to be without my pan mounted right now.
