1) Reading thru some of the technical stuff I see references  almost
exclusively to the haynes manual, As an airhead owner it was kind of  50/50
Haynes Clymer. Is the oilhead Clymer manual no good? or just the way  the
info is passed?
2) I have a 1100RS what is the concensos on  replacement windscreens
Airflow Parabellum or some other.>>

Both  Haynes and Clymer's books are good to carry when travelling in case you 
need to  start a fire. They burn well. Beyond that, they are useless. Get a 
copy of the  BMW Repair manual CD for the R1100RS, install it in your computer 
and print out  a paper copy for the garage. The BMW manual is excellent and 
doesn't contain all  the misinformation that H&C use to fill their pages. They 
have a gang of  lawnmower mechanics writing that drivel.
