Afternoon All,
As I posted in the New Member section, I have been riding off and on for a long time. This is my first BMW. So far, I just love it! But, as any newbie would, I have a couple/three questions.
I know my '00 RTP has a floating front break system. There is a bit of a rattle and some rubbing when I roll 'Hilda' out of the barn, backwards. I have read in some of the threads this is not a concern but I have also read of folks replacing the buttons (which seem to have gotten a tad pricey). Talked with the local dealer who gave her a thorough 12K physical immediately after she was delivered. He says "The discs will be below spec [on thickness] before those need replacing. You have a good one. I would ride it anywhere." Any comments?
I just installed a Cee Bailey #2 Euro Cut, +5.5". At 6'4", this puts the unit, in the full up position, just to where I can see over it. Went on an Interstate ride this morning and was very comfortable and quiet. However, I did notice a slight bit of buffeting around the top of my Arai SZ/m. Should I be concerned about the position for rain riding and get the +7.5"? [OBTW - any quality control issues previously reported seem to have been corrected. Mine went on in less than a conservative 10 mins., fitting perfectly.]
I would like to replace the day cases with regulars. There is a business on e-bay selling a set of OEM for R1100RT/R1150RT , without mounts, for $647.40. Will these fit my R1100RTP?
Thanks In Advance,
