hey enderw88... How quiet is the Hannigan Fairing? And the information I saw has a smaller fairing by perhaps a third. Maybe some of your's comes off? Nope, this fairing is as solid as a rock. I am pretty sure they all come out of the same production molding... The one for the R12R is available wit...

I am one of the few on this forum who likes the Hannigan fairing. I don't really mind them on R1200Rs either. I wish they would make a smaller version for us. Mark I spent a long time looking for a Pichler, but they are pretty scarce in the US. I saw one in Germany a few years ago and it was very n...

Thanks, this is my fourth paint job and I think I finally got it right. It is a hard fairing to make look good. It does work well though.

Oofta, I can't believe I left this so long...1989 K75C Low Seat with Hannigan Fairing. http://enderw88.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/dscf3276.jpg?w=1024 http://enderw88.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/dscf3279.jpg?w=1024 http://enderw88.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/dscf3277.jpg?w=1024 http://enderw88.files...

That's funny. A Harley guy said exactly that to me a few months ago at a gas stop.
4 hours was about right, quality is VERY good. I will try to post some pictures of my latest paint job on my K75 with full Hannigan fairing.

I have been lusting after one for about a year. I have not been able to determine whether they offer a kit for it or not. Finding the K1200R headlight is a trick in the states. I will be in Ulm Germany next week and if I have a chance I will stop by the BMW dealer there and ask about it. They are su...

Experience is truly the best teacher, but the key is not getting too much of this experience on your own expensive stuff. :D In light of the original poster, I commend anyone with interest to try to work on their machines. Over the long haul you will save money, and learn a lot. That won't make it ...

The K75 Hannigan is one sweet looking bike! If it still puts a smile on your face I would add, not replace. Adding is not an option with SWMBO. Are you planning on living forever? If so - tell us your secret. If not - there is no time like the present to award yourself for getting this far and bein...

I recently had the opportunity to teach a young man down the street some basic mechanics. He had taken his car to a local Speedy Lube and they had cross threaded the drain plug resulting in an annoying leak. To make matters even worse they stripped the base of the bolt so that it wouldn't easily uns...

"I am a bit concerned about infant mortality, as between San Diego and Tuscon is a LOT of nothing... That's what Roadside Assistance — and sunscreen — are for. Happy riding. Do that section early in the morning... 8) Excellent advice, I'll make sure to plan the breakdown for early morning :D

What an opportunity. I would pack some good waterproof gear and make sure "Avoid highways" is checked in Google Map options. Didn't know that option was there. Looks like a good way to do it. I am a bit concerned about infant mortality, as between San Diego and Tuscon is a LOT of nothing...

the bike you really wanted was sitting in a dealer 1,000miles away from you?

1. Ship it home.
2. Slab it home but with always varying speed.
3. Other?

His reasoning may be solid for most clutches (multi-plate, wet), but how about 'our' bikes? Being that they are single plate dry clutches, it made me wonder about heat dissipation. I tend to think they would overheat! I'll address this part of your question. The only time a clutch disk needs to dis...

Ok The EBay thing worked. Have a final drive for $182.00 delivered. I am going to ship it somewhere to have the work done. Max's is one option, any other thoughts? Southeast PA Damn. That was you who outbid me.. You might consider Tom Cutter - Yardley PA. Probably the best guy around for anything i...

Thanks.

For my own education, what exactly did you do wrong?

There are decent pictures at the Wunderlichamerica site. http://www.wunderlichamerica.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/8601326a.jpg http://www.wunderlichamerica.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/8601326b.jpg http://www.wunderlichamerica.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/8601326c.jpg http://www.wunderlichamerica.com/mm5/gr...

Exactly.

I know what the ABS II option costs for a new bike, but how much should you decrement from the value of a used bike all other things equal? I've seen a few R1200R go by recently that did not have ABS and the sellers were were using prices that were very close to what I would expect for a fully optio...
