Hi adiem48,
Have a look at the 'Join Dates' of the people who have offered advice here, they have been working on these bikes for up to 13 years or more (particularly Albert
)! Definitely worth listening to and best not to get too drawn into the over analysed American method of....over analysing almost every little detail.
You also have to appreciate that this isn't an online learning facility for 'novices'.. advice / criticism / sarcasm will be offered free of charge but you will be expected to do your own research using either a generic search engine or using the search facility on this forum before being publicly humiliated
Good luck!

Tony, If your that concerned, why not entrust the work to a reputable specialist...................someone like Steptoe, nearly 30 years established.

+1 for that. Worth the 200 odd mile drive each way to get the bike done by the wisened old rag-and-boneman himself.

Hi steptoe, seeking similar advice, I'd like to return to conventional braking I have servo abs on my 2002 1150 rt which occasionally throws alternate flashing brake failure light and the red triangle in alternate sequence, would this method mentioned work on my rt? Many thanks in advance

Can we take this a step further?
Has anyone thought of what is the best way to utilize the space freed from removing the abs/servo?
Having the same bike, I know it's just a matter of time for mine to go too... and I always thought that I would expand the 30 litre adventure tank to make it 37-38 litres. Anyone tried that? It would be possible given:
- the battery is moved to the bottom of the pit lying on it's side (gel battery only?)
- the expanded section of the tank is one-sided as it should allow room for removal of the plate holding the fuel pump
do you foresee any problems going this way?
I know in Europe it may not make much sense to go through the trouble to gain an extra 7-8 litres but still ... few thinks are rational about bikes.

Yes adding another 7 - 9 KG to the higher part of the bike
Plus as I mentioned to another person preparing to do a round the world ride
Do you "really" want ALL of your fuel in one place?? Fall off hit a rock and get a leak then you are screwed
I was thinking move the battery forward and that would be a really safe document / money space?
(I would however also devise a quick release for the saddle in case the fecker went on fire so I could retrieve said documents in a hurry!!!)
Just because it's a gel battery it still needs the gel to cover the plates while in use. Laying it down will expose the plates.
Put the tools down and step away from the bike.
If you really really need more fuel capacity just strap a 1-2 litre container on the rack.

good point on covering the plates...
no, I don't really really need the extra capacity but really really want to do it.
I won't step away from the bike and will find a way and post pictures when done

This is what I'm planning to do with mine (at some stage). I was thinking of making a waterproof box with a charge point inside, where I can plug in my phone and other stuff, without worrying about them being stolen if I forget to take them off the bike. I'd include some kind of circuit to prevent running down the battery when parked.
