Post a picture of your Oilhead

I was merely contributing to the colour discussion. You may have noticed my oilhead a few posts before.

Thank you sir.

Brand new member here. My buddies tease me and say that I've gone "traitor" and joined the Germans! I got into the sport of motorcycling about 6 years ago by resurrecting and restoring a sad old Honda CX500. Rode it for a few years and graduated to a GL650. The CX/GL community has been wonderful to me. Then I decided that I needed to get into a more powerful machine and I just had to continue with twin cylinder goodness. I found this gorgeous '94 R1100RS for sale by another member here. She's been very well maintained and her prior owners pampered her. First thing I plan on doing is putting in a new HES (just ordered one from EuroMotoElectrics), as that's about the one thing I think it needs at the moment. Oh, and I want to make sure the final drive has been lubed and her splines are in good shape. Then, I want to put many, many miles on her and take another photo in a much more epic location. I look forward to learning all that I can about these amazing bikes.

Early Spring, ain't such a bad thing.

Get busy riding, when possible.

On the way to the MOA rally in Gillette, WY in 2008. Hard to believe that it has been 16 years...

Another of the best of the bunch!

New to me Oilhead.., never thought I'd have something that looked like a jetski, from the cockpit.. AND have a stereo! Question; What precautions are necessary to protect the speakers at bath time??? She's a Bute! Will post when she's freshly waxed!

Congrats on the purchase of your new to you RT. I love the styling of the Oilhead RT’s. I think BMW nailed it in the styling and proportions when they designed the bike. By comparison, the generations that followed became much to bloated and overly complex with electronics for my taste. I appreciate having an electrically adjustable windscreen, heated grips and the option of a radio is nice feature for those who want it. Truly the only feature that I wish that the RT came with is electronic cruise control. Aside from that, in my opinion the bike is near perfect. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have enjoyed mine.

My stereo, chassis, speakers, LED readout, antenna and controls are sitting in a box. On the rare occasion that I listen to music when riding, I listen to it through my helmet via my Sena which is connected via Bluetooth to my phone. I have days worth of music in my music library or I can stream it and I ask ways have the option of listen to FM stations through the Sena. So for me, that’s the route I prefer to go.

Theoretically, the speakers are marine grade and should be water resistant to rain, however I wouldn’t test that on a 20+ year old bike. My practice when it comes to washing the dash is to mist water on to the dash, gauges and switch gear. I find that prevents over saturation and prevents large amounts of water getting in to places you may not want. A good set of microfiber towels, a good spray detailer and brushes go a real long way and gets my bike looking immaculate I tend to be someone who pampers my bikes, because I like them to look nice and last a long time.

I look forward to seeing more pics of your RT soon. Enjoy!
