On my R1100s I had a lovely aluminum billet torque arm from San Jose BMW. it raised the rear end, and steepened the front end.
It made my 1998 S steer more like the R1200S. It was then "happy" when banked over, it made the S more flickable.
It was not without consequences.
I needed the longer "sports" side stand.
I needed to engineer a stopper to stop the center stand clanking against the torque arm.
I had to have the foot pads on the centre stand built up by about 10mm as otherwise it would not support the bike.
There was always a small chance the angle on the universal joint to the bevel drive would be compromised but the later Boxer Cup versions seem to have a similarly lengthened torque arm fitted.
Having this experience, once everything was adjusted, I would not have gone back to standard.

However the RS is not an S, and I have no complaints about the RS, even with my broken ankle and collarbone.

I would like to apologize to anyone I have NOT offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly.
