Re: R100 Frame

I have an '82 R100 you can look at, if that is any help. Although as it is apparently the last of the twin shocks, there may be significant differences to your later model...... cheers.

Re: Bike hire in Tasmania

G'day all,

thanks for the replies. I've booked myself a 2010 R1200GS for a couple of days through Motoadventure and have to say that the service so far has been great and communication excellent. I'm now just hanging out to get down there and enjoy the Tassie roads on the GS! Cheers

Re: Paint

I had paint on my '82 R100, including hand done pin striping, done by Vitech Refinishing in Welshpool and certainly recommend their work. Helpful bloke (Peter Beanham) and quality paint. Happy with that!

As mentioned previously, I don't want a particularly loud system. I have a Staintune Touring system on my R100 and...

K1200RS Exhaust System

Hello all, I noted a thread on the forum relating to GS exhaust systems and wondered if anyone within the club has experience with 'opening up' the OEM exhaust system on a K1200RS and what the potential benefits are to this, rather than going the full after market exhaust system route. I don't want ...

Re: Pipe clean

Regarding pipe cleaning, Probably worth giving Dave Munro at Beter Motorcycles a call. I think it was he who gave me the name of a business in ? Myaree/Melville who does that sort of thing. He also could advise on products. I used a business in Myaree called Metaglo to polish the full system on my '...
