WTB 5.5 rear wheel and BCR torque arm

[rydor]

Hello all, looking for a 5.5 rear wheel for my '99 non-ABS R1100S, not having much luck. I'd hate to pay dealer price but will eventually. Used or aftermarket would be just fine. Also needing the shorter Boxer Cup Replika torque arm. Thanks!

There is one on eBay, but it is mandarin yellow: BMW R1100S R1100 Rear Wheel 17x5.5 Non ABS Bike | eBay

In case you may be serious about it, here is its front sibling: BMW R1100S R1100 OEM Front Wheel NICE! | eBay

And a filtered URL that includes all R1100S torque arms on eBay: bmw r1100s arm | eBay

At this date/time, there are 5.

I can vouch for that ebayer, I have bought a few R1100S items from them before. Great experience with them, don't hesitate to ask them questions, they are pretty good about replying in a timely manner.

Got the wheel thanks, guys!

I wasn't gonna say anything about that auction cause I was researching getting it but my 99 is an ABS. Glad someone posted the link for you.

Did you get both? The prices were right.

Just bought the rear wheel, seems a steal at that price. Any advice on painting or powder coating? I'll most likely change the mandarin rim to silver, but may color both wheels white (or black?) if it's not cost prohibitive. Thanks again for the links! Still waiting to hear from the torque arm sellers as to whether they are 365mm or 385.

You should get the front too and then a mandarin tank center, headlight surround and cowl

It'd be the reverse of my bike and I've only seen one before.



But you have to like Mandarin

You can use any r11s wheel for any r11s.

I bought a non-abs wheel for my abs bike, all i did was mill 5mm off the studs.

if you had a non-abs bike with a abs wheel all you would need to do is use the abs ring as a spacer or use anything that was the correct thickness.

I DO like mandarin, and that's not a bad idea

Dang it Rydor, gimme that wheel

Nah, it'd be too much mandarin on my bike. I was surprised that my wife's new F800S comes with a 5.5" from the factory. One will come along for my boxer. Maybe in black!
