There are a lot of common items that these bikes need, but I concentrated on the most common, and the ones the average backyard mechanic could do at home. For example, the Final Drive Replacement/Pivot Bearing change includes the adjustment procedure, and allows one to remove the Final Drive to send it in for repair, saving lots of money on tech labor.
Most of the procedures also can be used for a variety of issues related to the items being worked on. For example the Final Drive procedure can save hundreds of dollars in labor and allow you to send the final drive to the shop of your choice for repairs.
I wanted to add more items, but I ran out of video time at 2 hours long. If this one is well received, I will create a follow-on Repair DVD with additional items.

Keep in mind that though I am a professional trainer this is my first ever video for publication, so there are a few small errors in it.
Thanks you all for your support of this effort, and for getting the ball rolling! I hope it is worth the effort, and not only saves you money, but helps you to be more independent in doing your own work.
Many of the parts I used for this DVD came from the following:
www.beemerboneyard.com for the brake parts
www.beemershop.com for the 1100/1150 Final Drive Pivot Bearings
