Friend of mine had one of the R100RS BMW's back in the 1980's. He loved the bike and his model girlfriend rode it every where.
One week he took it by Iron Horse in Tucson for some maintenance and returned several days later to pick it up. Loved the changes and one of them included new much lighter wristpins in the rods and pistons. Really cut down on the vibration and made it nicer to ride.
Took the ladyfriend for a ride and she had a "come to Jesus" talk with him at the first rest stop. "Either you make the engine like it was, or I stop riding with you!" Seems that the way the old wristpins vibrated in the engine put a smile on her face and the update was not to her liking...
