From: RB on 28 Jun 2010 18:19 So; hearing at my back time's winged chariot hurrying near, I put aside my Guzzis & Laverdas. I did the decent thing & scored me an LT1100, from which, in a fit of responsibility, I removed the tape player (because we all know what happens when the music is turned up loud). All well & good, until, this after-noon, I went to the public library (ostensibly to renew the kids' talking books). Sans volition, I returned home with the CD of Bat Out Of Hell (re-mastered). Now I'm playing it *far* too loud & grinning. Quick question; does anyone know how to bodge a generic CD player onto a mid-90s K1100LT?

AFAIK they need a special shallow head unit - the face plate cut-out is standard DIN size, but the hole isn't deep enough to take most readily available car units. -- SteveH

BMW sells specially enlarged bulgey covers for the stash boxes in the fairing, to allow a unit to fit inside. The SE version of the K1100LT, which has a radio as standard, is fitted with one. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Honda CB400F Triumph Street Triple Suzuki TS250ER GN250 Damn, back to six bikes!

As Tog said BMW do a convex lid and you could use a few of the Blaupunkt car units. I've seen a nice Alpine unit fitted too. But these days I would go for a DAB/MP3 unit. I've always rather fancied a Beemer fairing with one of those combined ICE/Satnav Alpine or similar units, fitted front centre, with the pop out sat-nav screen coming up a bit like a HUD. But it would ping Champ's gaydar a little too loudly. -- Hog |
