hopz Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Curious to learn if the Valve Covers/cylinder head protectors are the same on all R1100 engines? Obviously my reason for asking is that my R11S has road rash on both sides and I would like to find some gently used covers and the search is easier if they all fit. I do not imagine, or see any unique features on my '99. Thanks and if you have something, please get in touch. (this is not an attempt to sneak around the classified section) Link to comment
kioolt Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I believe they are all the same. Watch out for color on some special models. I also believe that the R1150 single spark are the same. Link to comment
Boffin Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 An easy way to check for interchangeability is to use RealOEM to find the part number used on your bike. Then go back to the front page and enter that in the part-number application search box. This gives a list of all uses for the part number - even where also used on the cars. Doing that for a '99 R1100S gave this list: 259S: Details on 259S 259S R 1100 S 98 (0422,0432) N/A, Europe R21: Details on R21 R21 R 1150 GS 00 (0415,0495) N/A, Europe R22: Details on R22 R22 R 1150 RS 01 (0447,0498) N/A, Europe R22 R 1150 RT 00 (0419,0499) N/A, Europe R22 R 850 RT 02 (0417) N/A, Europe R28: Details on R28 R28 R 1150 R 01 (0429,0439) N/A, Europe R28 R 850 R 02 (0428) N/A, Europe Andy Link to comment
kmac Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Hopz, I use A&S BMW websites microfisce because it puts a list under the part number section that says "also fits". Here is your page. http://www.ascycles.com/Illustrated_catalog2/MicroList.aspx?id=51678&catID=11&catname=Engine&bindName=Cylinder_head_cover_Mounting_parts&bindCat=11_1704 Link to comment
kmac Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 According to my research, just for you buddy, I see that single spark and twin spark covers are different. But any 1100 or 1150 single spark valve cover will work. There is a left and a right side because of the oil filler cap. Link to comment
eddd Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Depending on how bad the rash, you might be able to smooth it out. I had a pair that cleaned up very nicely with just a little work. Once smoothed out it is easy to paint. With all the curves, angles, and shadows you just have to be close with the color and you'd never be able to tell it was repaired. Link to comment
kmac Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Or if you are really anal retentive, you can refinish the surface smooth and have them powder coated so that the finish is more heavy duty than paint...not neccesary, but an option. Link to comment
