Why do you imagine that.....?

My twin cam never handled shit and that had exactly the same set up as above infact it was more stable, less twitchy on the front end, tracked better.
They look rt12lc wheels and the mudguard is what the fit on the twin cam conversion ( purchase from nigel @ sandbar) i think it looks
now to find some rt12 wheels .

Indeed. I've had 17" front wheels fitted to my last 3 x 1150's. Super sharp handling, allows fitment of better rubber and looks better (IMO). What's not to like?!
Admittedly the handling on the standard WC GS is excellent even with a 19" front wheel so the 17" conversion is probably not required for most riders
BMW should enter a team of these in the Pikes Peak

Or maybe not since it's now paved all the way to the top and Guy Martin is competing with at least 320 bhp at his disposal this year....http://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php?370476-Guy-Martin-to-race-at-Pike-s-Peak

Now that is something id like to see, it would have to have a quickshitter as well
If the front end is lower with a 17 inch , this will make the clearance lower , now not that i'm Rossi or anything , but i'm catching the pegs as it is at the moment,
any lower and ill be on my arse !!!!! The bike is brilliant as it is , okay it looks good but may have handling issues and also electronic miss matches with the incorrect wheels

Valid point but Van Harten know what they're doing. Top dutch BMW bods so the electrics will be sorted. I'd also hazard a guess that the geometry has been sorted via a shock spacer as it doesn't look too front heavy - unlike my 1150 bitsa!
Van Harten do make some nice looking alterations to their one-off bikes, retaining the essence of the original without too much unnecessary fuss.
If I were ever after a 'special' special, I would give them a look.

Have to agree with APE, it doesn't work for me (and I'm a huge fan of SM's and similar conversions).
I think it may be the amount of plastic around the front end - sort of looks like something's missing - where as IMO the 11 series and Hexheads look good with a tiny front wheel.................

I concur with that.
By the way is this a BMW fill in panel albeit they are black as far as I know.
As to small wheel not sure it does it for me?

Don't start this lot about the quickshifter again!
I quite like it, be nice to see how it looks off the c/stand and I'd love to give it a blast to see how she handles, I would imagine it would be very flickable!
