BMW R1200R R1150R/T F800 K1200R R1100R/T R1250R RnineT Message Board

Member since 1982 - worth it for the mag and info on the rallies and such.

Carried the Anon Book for years, was able to call locals for advice a few times, never been called myself

I have owned the R1150R and the R1150GS.

I gave the R to my son, and kept the GS.

Both are great bikes - I find the GS more comfortable. With a Parabellum and Jesse Bags, it is an awesome touring machine.

Thanks.

Damn if I wsa going to spend $20 for a couple freaking brackets.

Here's a R1150R with Jesse bags, currently ridden by my son.

I gave my son a 2004 R1150R

Despite being on a charger, the battery has given up the ghost.

What are the recommendations for a replacement?

Thanks.

Why not leave the car out and garage the bike?

Well, I've decided to finally put hard bags on the R. I see that Jesse now makes them for our bikes but there isn't a very good picture on the site: http://www.jesseluggage.com/r1150.html Anyone here have Jesse's on their R care to share a pic?? Send me an email, and I will send you pix prpbmw@comc...

Send me an email, I can send you pix of a 2004 w/Jesse bags.

I have a pdf of the manual..it is 17 meg, and too large to send as an email attachment.

If no-one posts an online source, I would be willing to burn a copy and mail it to you.

I have them on my R1150R which I gave to my son.

PM me for pix.

I got the lead from a battery tender, and ran it to the handlebars.

Spliced another connector to the cig lighter adapter for my garmin.

Also, any 12 volt device can be used, simply by splicing the connector to the power cord.

I am a fan of the big Mak. I had the platen made by my cousin out of 3/8 inch aluminum and powdercoated to black. The extra weight solves the lifting issue mentioned above.

I rode my bike to drop off a small print job at a local shop.

On the way home I realized they took neither my name or phone #.

I went back 2 hours later to pick up the copies.

The receipt was made out to
