Thanx sweatmark, this helped...here's what it says...

Thanks for offering...based on what others have said on the forum, I'm not surprised Rocksters are longer. I've also read the GS fronts are the same as the R but the rears are quite a bit longer, I know I don't want my R to have a GS inseam...no idea where the RT falls relative to this, mounting loo...

I know I can put GS shocks on our R-bikes but do the RTs fit too? The S-bikes do not fit...

...BBS screws will be close at 1 to 1-1/2 turns out ...make them the same... +1 This assumes your throttle body butterflys have not been screwed with, blue torque strip (paint) or no. IF your BBS (Big Brass Screws) are wildly different to get it to idle in spec, I would suspect this. IF you have to...

It's a heavy bike for a starter, not too powerful (an opinion for sure, just keep the revs down), if it has ABS, I don't see a down side, enjoy the bike...

PM followed up...

I can't tell you I know because I've not worked on one of these headlights before but looking at your pics, it appears you have these clips that are drawn up by screws in the outer bezel. Given their apparent angle, I thing they will pull forward and outward to the inside of bowl your light assembly...

I think he did a pretty good job with it but's an individual thing I think...

I don't think they should be dragging. Sometimes as you wear out a set of pads and brake dust and dirt accummulate on the pistons, then you push them back in further for the new (thicker) pads, the dust and dirt can make them sticky (don't retract enough when you let off the brakes). I like to clean...

The answer to your question is, it depends. If you've never added fluid and swap to new pads, I've had no issue just removing the reservoir cover to allow the fluid to push back up into the reservoir, like you noticed with your ABS funnel. I have a 1999 ABS, so it may be different than yours. You'll...

ebay has them all the time it seems like but it also seems like everyone of them is scrapped...

I also check http://marketplace.ibmwr.org/ ...good hunting...

Thanx for sharing this, liked it so much I just bought a set for my project.... :-)

Some of the K bikes (and maybe R1100S, though that's not my thing) have both sensors in final drive. My 1999 R1100S final drive does have both and separate...This final drive also has the Rubber Chicken Racing pivot bushings instead of bearing for the pivots.... https://s20.postimg.cc/wx9csi1ql/199...

What am I missing?

Yeh, R1100s do. I thought at least some of the Rocksters did since they use the R1100S final drive...

Got your PM and responded, thanx again... :-D

It's the rear speed sensor for a final drive with a crown ring in it to do the inductive pickup. R1100S bikes use them and from what I'm told, so do Rocksters. However, I've seen pics of Rocksters with and without them, so I'm not sure what to think. I'm currently converting an R1150R over to someth...

Some friends and I have run it in both, for on the road I prefer it. On the track I like lighter...
