I forgot to mention that the Ilmberger will rub the standard shock protector. I had a set of Ohlins and didn't have a problem.

Ilmberger will protect the shock but the under side of the seat (bikes rear fender) still can become a mess.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Has anyone heard if there is such a thing as a 2013 90th Anniversary R1200R? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lc4lQep7Ekk I think this might be the same bike. http://www.ridermagazine.com/latest-news/bmw-motorrad-announces-new-boxer-model.htm Two different bikes.

Great pics. Very beautiful.

Did you hit Porterville Rd out of Quincy? Nice road but you have to watch for gravel at times. Also 49 rocks but I think it would be in the opposite direction you were heading. Sounds like you had fun, however.

It could just be me but it sounds like Boxer04 is talking about the dust cover on the outside of the valve cover. I know this cover can be tight on some bikes.

Lucky that he's in my own backyard - hour and a half away.

I'm going to take my panniers so we can set the sag with them as well as without.

Ted's a big help even over the phone.

Bingo. Smooth has it all the way.

Pretty fancy car stoppers around the store. Pretty fancy bike too.

Welcome.

First of all thanks for your service in Iraq!

Second - I also have a white '09. That's the best looking windshield I've seen so far.

GNU --- GNU is Not Unix. Are you a Linux fan by chance?

Sweet looking ride. Welcome to the forum.

Keep in mind the Ducati is geared much higher since it's intended use is the race track. It would make since for them to lose some ground in the beginning.

I had ESA and non-ESA at the same time. The ESA was on a K1200S and the non-ESA was on a Megamoto that had been properly set up by an expert. Riding the both down the same road I would say I had much better control with the Megamoto. Likewise with my R1200R. I put a set of Wilbers on it almost right...

I've had several BMW's. Twins and fours. I put a Remus on almost all of them. I drilled the baffle out each time without any problems. If you've ridden around for a while with it in it may take a firm tug to get it out.

I have the same problem, at times, with other sites.

What changed your mind?

Haven't heard that since my Heat Treating days. Brings back many memories.

I do my own services as well. I've always felt more "at one" with the bike when I do that.
