Re: Jackass in a hurry= Broken parts...

I bought an "04 R1150R and the previous owner had broken that key cover also. I bought a cap from Beemerboneyard and replaced only the cover. It was easy. Larry Might have to go this route...but finding a ferro colored one might be a pain. Think that it is possible to take the lock out of mine...

Jackass in a hurry= Broken parts...

I was in a hurry to get back on the road and forgot to flip that little tab back down (that covers the keyhole) when fueling. I tossed the tank bag over it, and wrestled the clips together, and the tab broke off. It really isnt a big deal, but it looks like crap and it annoys me. Am I going to have ...

Re: Turning a Rockster into a tourer

Sargent, lowered pegs, moto-techniques bar backs, system cases, tankbag, luggage rack, Sparky Peg highway pegs, My bike came with the BMW windscreen. I absolutely hate it. I have thrown it on a few times, but it puts the windblast directly into my visor, so I roll with no windshield, and that big sn...

Re: Rockster Rant

I love my Rockster too......but i think I did some damage when I used 87 octane gas. It was the only thing I could find, I was in the middle of nowhere. Since then, I have re-fueled a couple of times with 94 octane but it continues to ping. Did I kill my baby? :( I have ran 87 octane in mine lots a...

Re: looking for windscreen advice

I have a Rockster, and it came with the BMW screen on it. Well, actually I made them take it off and put it in a box before I picked it up, so that no one could see me with that monstrosity on the bike. I ended up putting it back on, just to see what it would be like for longer trips. I am 6'4"...

Re: Corbin Nightmare

You are better off. No Rockster should be seen with a disgusting-looking Corbin seat on it.

Expensive, ugly as hell, customer service sucks, many people claim them to not be all that comfy...






Get a Sargent. They are great. I actually got mine used from Big Papa.

Re: somebody clarify tire replacements for the bike!

I havent fallen in love with any tires yet, but the Michelins that were on my bike when I got it gripped the best. Z6s dont seem to last that long for me, unless I put on the heavier one designed for the k1200gt. I got an extra 1500 miles out of that rear. I really hate that solid strip of rubber in...

Re: Rockster pics

Nice bike, looks just like mine, except minus the stripes of course. What happened to your catalytic converter? I would love to lose mine and contribute to the warming our planet to lengthen the motorcycle season here in the north. :lol: Notice the snow and the ice on the lake in my pics, and that ...

Re: LOst Key!

When you get your new key....get the dealership to cut a few copies of it....just in case. Pretty cheap insurance.


I lost mine a while back and was lucky enough to find the spare.

Re: Bag mounts

My rock came with GS mounts, they were plain, and I liked them, but I wanted the luggage rack, so I put on the R racks. The grab handles are nice.

Re: Aftermarket exhaust

I have a Two brothers system that I'll sell you for CHEAP.

The y pipe is in good shape, the can is falling apart. I do not have the clamps for it, but I made some aluminum spacers and just used the factory clamps when I had it on.

When the can crapped out on me I just got a Staintune setup...

Re: The search for youself doesn't run on Google!

Why does it say K1200R on the left bottom corner, and have a hexhead on the poster?

Doesnt seem like BMW would do something so...um.....dumb.

Re: '78 Corvette Sucks

A '78 Corvette is the lamest of the lame of the 'vettes.

My uncle and dad still have a 1970, fairly original, with the LS5 454 and 4-speed.

It goes.

A '78, aside from being ugly as hell, has a piss poor excuse of a 350 in it.
