At least I'll have a nice, local selection of panniers to choose from over the next few weeks
I don't think Lynn will put up with that passenger seat for long.
Belper Phil's panniers already in the garage .... Bike comes with a dual seat as well
First of many questions....
- Thread starter Bryn
- Start date

I like this brake setup. How hard is it to do? Are the fork legs readily available? Does it provide better braking than a 320mm disc and a twin pot caliper?
I read through the brake threads but with so much info I struggled to reach a conclusion

What about the so called "carica blue" (really plum or grape or....) that featured on the R100GS -stopped me from buying a cheap one
Hmmmm seem to remember having a pair of flairs that clour way back when......
OOh! That's nice......:cool
And the front disk upgrade is just so right. Why they didn't build them like that I don't know
You have what looks like a much loved and well kept bike there Bryn, you'll enjoy it I know. Just hope you don't miss the 1200 too much, I know I would. That's why we're still a one airhead family. Can't bring myself to part with the big-un, so I'll keep looking for a bargain in need of some TLC.
Well done mate, see you in a few weeks.

The reason they never built them like that is because if you ride them like your meant to on gravel you dont want brakes that are to vicous and send you off
Thanks for the comments folks
I like the colour, but then I'm weird - and I won't be riding it like I'm meant to very often

Looks like everyone is happy ( well except Steve.NZ 
)
Stopping power is very good with 2 discs or the 320mm conversion - I've owned both..and both do the job admirably
320mm the easier option to fit. Bryns is an expensive set-up.
OMG....that purple is growing on me a little

Riding on gravel... that counts out the 1100/1150/1200's then, all with twin discs
Anyway.... my driveway is block paved so I needn't worry
You need a second right hand leg and then swap the internals over with your original left fork leg.
1200SE then a 100GSPD, a man of taste
The big BUT.......................I don't think Bryn has ridden an Airhead PD yet

Finder's fee
I has been on Ebay 2-3 timesI nearly bought that bike, 2 months ago after speaking to the owner on the phone...................but slept on it and remembered why I don't like airheads anymore
