Z-Tecnik Full system on its way!

Found it on the bay at a Sweet price. Been looking at Staintune and Remus, but this was too good to pass up :D Has anyone taken a photo essay of the removal and re-install of the exhaust system? If not, I'll photo mine from start to finish. Would this be of interest to see, including the cuts and fi...

Enduring my meandering on selling the R

Folks, you may have noticed that I've been looking to sell my R1200R over on Buy/Sell board for a while and even put her up for adoption on Eb-y :shock: But many of you have PM'd me as to why I was selling and it made me come to this conclusion. The R is the best all around bike I've owned. Whilest ...

Re: R1200R Sargent seat - $250.00

I bought one off Eb-y already done by Sargent with the BMW M logo stripes and black pipping. The seat is really comfortable. Longest ride has been 4 hrs, but after and hr my butt was sore on the stocker.

Re: traded K1200R Sport for R1200R

06 K1200R to an 07 R1200R here too. Was thinking of selling the RR, but fighting myself internally on the issue. :-k It's really a great all-round bike.

Re: Not to hijack britguy's thread but.......

Sure. It's a darn fine machine. Too much machine for my riding, which is short, to the coffee shop kinda stuff. This bike is made for long saddle time. I'll miss her, but my Duc will see more road time now. ;)

Don,

If the bike sells (which I don't see why it wouldn't) You have right of refusal on seat. It is a great seat btw..... :D

I am happy to report that the ATOMIC foam has made my "member" MASSIVE, "like in those 50's movies", my package is warm and fuzzy (no comments please) and the seat is much more comfortable than the stocker. However, since I'm one of those winter pussies (think cat here), I've onl...

I got my local BMW dealer to put the pipes on so I really don’t know anything about fueling adjustment. As for the sound of a full system, well it’s like my bikes balls dropped it became deep and throaty (not too loud) but above 3800 rpm it sounds pretty spirited (angry). Here's a pho...

I find myself actually having to "think" about what button to push. I've been riding BMW's for a good number of years now but just find the one button blinker more intuitive. As for the horn, I've just given up on occasion. There have been two times in recent memory when I NEEDED to sound ...

Great looking seat. I had my stock R11R reworked years back by Sargent. Did you have the foam reshaped with the Atomic foam? I'm thinking about sending my R12R seat in for the denser Atomic foam in the front. Also, did you ask for that alternating pattern with the Carbon FX and the plain vinyl? (Sa...

My new "Sargent" seat !!

Yes it's true. Picked this up on eb-y (Sorry if I out bid you) A real work of art from Sargent. It is very comfortable, mounts great since its a re-worked original seat pan. It has the carbon fx inlay against smooth naugahide (those poor little Naugas). Overall i'm happy with the fit and finish, Now...
