Year 7, remembering Mike, godspeed

Another year come and gone.

Anybody have any updates or info

That may be, the imperial gallons and US gallon difference could be it. However, I distinctly remember putting more fuel into my R850 than I have with the R1100. So, back to the original question of finding a source for a bigger tank. Anyone? Retrofit a R1100GS tank? - moving the oil coolers is the...

What I remember is that the capacity issue was more a poor conversion from liters to UK gallons and US gallons and the mix up that resulted from that.

One stock number, one tank

One of the few reason I still visit this site is to see if there has been any resolution to Mikes disapearance

As far as the front rim - Woodys Wheel works in Denver is my first choice for such repairs

FWIW 10W60 Aquip oil is speced in the newer Guzzis and, I believe, some of the Husky models.

The owners have the exact same arguments

I believe Staintune used to make a exhaust for this bike

$4k with the adders is not to bad if the restof the bike seems in good shape

Hint tho - there is a dedicated R1100R forum junderneath this one

Does the addition of the Corbin seat mean you loose the 3 position height adjustment on the bike?
