R1100rt vin sticker info needed.

[Roadflyer]

Hello fellow oilhead owners.

I have been refurbishing a R1100rt that I bought about  6 months ago.

I noticed that the original vin sticker near the steering stem is almost non existent and I'd like to get a reproduction made.

I'm looking for the gvwr weight as well as the front and rear gawf and gawr.

Does anyone know how I would determine the date of manufacture to include on the sticker?

Morning Roadflyer

 

Start by going to      https://shop.maxbmw.com/fiche/PartsFiche.aspx     then type in the last 7 digits of your VIN,  this should give you the approximate build date. 

 

On your other info, not sure where you will find that other than calling BMW customer service & seeing if they will track it down for you. 

 

If you can't find it I have a 1997 1100RT frame here at my shop (not for sale) & the info on the tag shows__ 

 

GVWR 180 lbs/490KG

GAWR front 440 lbs

GAWR rear  730 lbs

 

You might also find that your engine number doesn't match any part of your frame VIN number as they seldom do.

Excellent!!  Thank you very much, that's exactly what I needed.
