We aren't getting any contributions to the link list so I am unlocking it to allow everyone to add links.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not turn this into a discussion thread. We want to keep it easy to find links without wading through 3 pages of "nice link" and "what color is your bike again?". Take those discussions to general chat. Periodically, I will edit posts and categorize links like above.

It is acceptable to link directly to posts on the board (as I did with Jim's list of info for Oilhead tech days). To link directly to a post, mouse over the "quote" button on the post you want to link to and find the post number. Then use the URL below and replace the "xxx" with the post number.

Nice for the 1150, and here is one for the 1100.

If you size it correctly, you can cut it out and put it in the lid of the fuse box folded along the center line.

PS I have one already sized right.

I can't say for sure it was J.A. Brooks, but it was from his Web site. Why'n'cha just say "Courtesy [blah, blah -- URL]." Then you're not stealing. :D

(Oh, BTW, it was for the R1150R, since that's what Holley needed to know about. RTs, etc., are slightly different.)
2002 R1150RT, Silver
Silver, the "cool and aloof" color.

1971 Triumph Bonneville, Gold
Gold, the "paying the restorer" color.

With Ted being here, I'm REALLY surprised that he didn't list his K1100 Forum.
