Does the standard R1100S fit the 'tall' '04 BCR without modification? I'm thinking of setting her up for some touring and I've nearly snapped up used centre stands previously but haven't taken the plunge yet.

With this in mind - I've been looking preserve the valuable BCR carbon belly pan at home when touring and replace it with a cheaper GRP version - and this has got me thinking if I do a centre stand mod. - where can I get a belly pan that works with it?

Any advice in this area will be greatly received. - as would anyone with any used parts in stock / surplus to requirements to enable me to convert my BCR to centre stand whilst retaining a look-a-like GRP belly pan.

I have 6mm higher rear shock on my touring R1150S and I had to weld about 1/2" high extensions onto my center stand to work. I think you're looking at something similar. Forget the bellypan, I can't see that working at all.

Good luck.
