Just wanted to post my latest modification to my R1100S. I have been able to modify the stock telelever arm on the R1100S to the 10mm shorter specs that San Jose BMW and a couple others (shreddr and cageyar) have done to their R1200's. The results are fantastic on the old gal. Just as shreddr had been trying to tell ya'll, this is one fantastic mod for the R1100S as well.

I have had this mod in place for the past 4-5 months and have been taking my time to decide if it really made a difference worth mentioning. It has made all the difference in the world to this bike. The turn in on corners now is effortless. Before I always had to hike out far on the seat to be able to feel the corner entry, but now it just falls into place without much thought at all. The 1.2 shorter rake angle and 3/4" shorter wheelbase is exactly what these bike have needed from the very start. Anyone that is tired of trying to get their R1100S to handle like a modern sportbike should consider this modification.

This is not exactly an easy mod for the average guy. It requires access to some good shop tools and welding equipment plus a lot of hands on skill. A few of you guys should be able to do it by yourselves and some others could hire someone to do it for you. It is definitely worth considering if you are getting the itch for a more modern handling bike. After doing this to my R1100S, I am totally in awe of it's handling and only hope I can keep it going way past the 70k miles I already have on it. If anyone is interested in giving this mod a try, I would be happy to share the details with you.
