Since you are running a GS-type exhaust, I take it you won't be keeping the saddlebags or mounts.
Those will bring you a few hundred (or more) to offset your shock and Y collector. I see they are the most-desirable tumbler-lock type that can be keyed the same as the ignition key.

I have to get that info for you..

Here's a few pictures i took this weekend.

Just installed some header heat shield.

Do anyone know if the early R80 steering damper works on 85-87 up R80 model?

Thanks, Mak.

You need the 22mm unfortunately. The handlebar furniture won't quite fit around the 7/8's set and you chance breaking them as you fasten them on. Try them first though. You never know your luck.

When you remove the stuff from the bars, ensure the perch wedge isn't lost.http://w6rec.com/duane/bmw/perch/index.htm
