Don't think I've seen this one on here yet.

I don't get why this bike hasn't sold. Price?  Age of the tug?

That’s clean looking. Stroker wheel and tastefully done.

I don't know why either.  Looks like a pretty nice setup.  Claude's swaybar and the big pusher are nice mods.  No mention of a steering mod but that's easily dealt with. I loved my R1100GS rig.  Good on dirt.  Good on pavement. Big enough for two dogs.  Not many farkles on this bike which is good if you like keeping it simple, and also good if you want a blank canvas for your own farkles.

That looks like a great rig!  It appears to be in beautiful condition.  It's not yellow, so he should probably mention it could be repainted yellow very easily. 😉 

Maybe remove the picture with the chock behind the rear wheel.  Someone looking to purchase their first sidecar might be skittish to that.  Also on a rig this old I'd want to know what upgrades and maintenance has been done.  One of the big draws for the rig I purchased was all the updates on key R1100 GS issues, and the exceptional maintenance.  Buying something this old is a crapshoot.  Having good records means a lot.


Hold my keyboard and watch this! 🙃
