I think I'll only confirm what others have said, I bought Darryl Carmichael's 2001 Lite...great guy and loved Bob's as well, miss them...Darryl (like me) blew his engine at Summit, so I bought it and it became my R1150S Project Bike, which is now history...Had the bike completely apart, this is what I saw was different:
-black painted engine, trans might have been black too, it was hurting too, so it went too, fairing all black as well
-smaller alternator (still have it, for sale)
-no ABS
-no center stand, had the BMW lift that fits in the subframe holes (for sale)
-steering damper
-bars were under the triple tree
-GS Paralever Link
-shocks had already been replaced, so can't say
-CF heel guards, head light surround, dash cover, front fender (duh) and on top of upper triple tree (looked like adhesive under the CF)
-no CF rear cowl, turn signal housings, belly pan, lower fairings, tank center panel or valve covers (maybe he took this stuff off or swapped it)
-mirror blanking/cover plates (still have them, for sale)
-no heated gripes and has the switch to turn off the head light (Mundis has it now)
-5.5" rear wheel (180 tire)
-took most of engine apart and the pistons, cams, etc. are R1100S parts (no idea where 20 more HP would have come from other than the BBPower chip he put in it, also for sale with the Motronic)
-He also had a GP Remus on it, which was great, although I personally preferred the Remus Sebring more...
