    I'll read through the whole thread at my leisure but just want to say I'm pleased its here. I have an affection for BMWs and can't quite bring myself to sell my R80RT. I'm hoping it will eventually become a classic at which point it'll become interesting again.

    Would any one have a 89-95 R100GS seat spare that they will sell to me, l need one that l can alter for my bike so l can fit an early g/s dakar tank to my bike. Also has any one done the power upgrade from the bings to dellorto carbs and what size dell's did they use. cheers Graham

    You'd have to be comfortable in your sexuality though, it's pink. Either that or would suit a KLR rider looking to trade up
    Looks like this one has sold, the auction has been withdrawn

    So Padmei, did you discover another side to your sexuality and come to the dark side?

    Now that I'm back in Wellington I'm been wanting to replace the banjo on my front caliper to get the cable routing right after the caliper upgrade further up the thread. Currently fitted is about 15degrees and I need a 45 degree one.

    When I pulled the Banjo off off the caliper it has a different connector to what I'm used to, and none of the local bikes shops or Enzed have seen it before. Rather than the usual male fitting it has a concave female fitting. The end of the cable has a round ball bearing like end, so the banjo is concaved to fit.

    Can anyone advise where I can get a 45 degree banjo with this fitting? thread is standard metric 10x1.25.

    Welcome. I also have a 1100 it's a 1998 (they had the revised gearbox). Great bikes and a hell of a lot more advanced and reliable than the airheads (from all reports they're the most reliable of all including the 1200). Good choice.

    Now thats a tidy looking original example, except for the yellow starter motor cover.

    Haha, yeah I've seen that one.

    Actually I might shrink the collection once I get the 800 going again. I'm thinking of putting it on the market when I've got it sorted. While it's way more fun in the really tight stuff than the PD I do too many road miles and not so tight stuff so prefer the PD overall and I can't ride all of them at once, and the PD has not stopped me going anywhere yet.

    Still deciding though, I would prefer to sell the 888 first. I just dropped that another $500 on trade me.
