Bobclift, when they jetcoat the headers do they have to do anything to the pipe where it bolts back to the heads or y-pipe?

The Remus looks real good on your Rock. How do you like the sound...should really growl now I bet. Thanks for the pics.

PM sent.

congrats on the y-pipe mod ,been thinking of one myself. Which one did you go with and did you keep the stock can? That was what i was thinking of doing.Btw, I too have had good service from guys at S. Sound

Your cooler screens look good. I don't think you'll have any problems, as I see that BMW of Santa Cruz sells screens that look to have about the same mesh size. I think their price is $109.00 a pair so I,d say you did good.How did you attach them to the coolers?

Thanks for the install tips Lee. I'll bet your bike looks nice w/matching pipes & motor. Boy, this site and the members are great! Thank to all.

Thanks for the reply Don, I think they will look great on your RR. Preformance coatings are the guys close to me. I think black pipes are in my future. Thanks again.

Hi all, I,m looking for some info as to how well the Ceramic exhaust coatings hold up on the header pipes of our Roadsters. I've found a shop that applies the coatings close to my home. Wanted to know if the black satin finish stays nice looking after a few k miles of heating and cooling. I think it...

I believe DJ is correct. Just had the same thing happen to me, used lower grade gas and noticed the under hard acceleration started pinging. Next 2 times I fueled up used 92 oct. and some redlining and no more pinging. I also notice that when I've been riding with my misses on board(ride a little mo...

Good on ya Chris. You are going to love this bike. Just got off mine(rode to work today)and soon as the traffic clears,i'll jump back on for a trip around the area i live in. Take it easy on her till you get comfortable and post a pic when possible.

I also use speed shine from Griots. It's really good on all painted surfaces, along with alot of the other products they sell. Really nice for me is the fact they are right across from the BMW cycle dealer in Fife. You can get a catalog from them from their web site.

Thanks for the reply Mike but I think I'll have to go to the same mirrors you used. The info you gave was very informative. Thanks again, Al

I like the looks of the new mirrors on your bike, but was wondering if you think the stock mirrors could be mod. to fit a r1150r.I looked the k1200r mirrors at the dealer and think they would look good on my roadster but can't figure out what it would take to adapt them. Any thoughts on this would b...

Went through the same thing myself Kristi,so don't think it a gender thing. It's really great when your able to get a good parts guy at any of these parts stores(AZ,Shucks,ect)Lucky for me that one of the good folks here told me about autobarn to order the silverstars from,and they were on sale for ...

I too use the Marsee teardrop magnetic tankbag. I find the magnets really hold it in one place, plus to add fuel, i just tilt it up. Just make sure to keep the fabric between the mags and the tank free of any dirt and you won't have any scratches.

Congrats. on your new bike choice. These bikes are very much at home on are N.W. backroads. I think i'd also get a service done for your peace of mind and just enjoy your bike. Oh and be prepared for alot of complements whenever you park and the hoards of woman if you happen to have gotten the Ferro...

I went ahead and ordered the bushings for the cruiser mirrors(the oval chrome ones)from the dealer and when they come in I'll have them pull a K1200R mirrors and see if they fit the adapters. The dealer said he didn't know if they would fit, but for the couple of buck the bushing cost ,I though I'd ...

I would like to know if anyone has mounted the the mirrors from the K1200r(the matte black ones-not the chrome and black ones) on the RR. I had gone to the dealer and he dosen't think they will fit. I have read some of the past posts here and i thought that with the adapters(part #51162328422) that ...

Thanks to all for the replies. I'm going to the dealer soon as I log off. It's the install tips that will really save me alot of grief and time.Also thanks for the pic.DJ,always a big help to all to have a visual.

info from those of you with the clear turn sig. please.When you replace the lens from amber to clear do you also change the bulb or anything else to get the correct looks. Also info on best place to buy would be helpful. I really like the way they look on your bikes .Thanks in advance from Seahawk l...
