engine, at least in the earlier model, was giving away lots of heat to the driver.....not good at slow speed
but very fast .....used it can be found at bargain price.....too heavy for my taste though .....(but again, I have a R1200R.....not a K1200GT lol)

Try this, Get a few stick on weights like are used to balance wheels, and stick them on the back side of the mirror, it might take 2 or 3. BMW's plastic mirrors are very light, sometimes alittle weight will change the frequency at whitch they viberate, it helps to clear the image. I used this metho...

Search on this forum "valve play" or similar. Don has the fix for that. Your bike is not quite right. Mine does not do what you are describing. Mark this is weird because the bike is new....and I got the 1000km service (600mi)...it is now at 3000+ km...(2000mi) so I will ask the dealer th...

Doing a search on "bar end mirror" will show a thread where, surprise, bar end mirrors clear up the blur. well, I do have the stock bar ends......it should be enough......but thanks anyway ;-) I've miscommunicated: Not bar ends, but mirrors that attach to the end of the bars! No long stal...

I am curious......I cannot see much in my mirror when I am accelerating or going over 60mi/h+ is it the same for everybody? sometimes I can't even tell if the headlights I am seing are from a truck or a car.....and I am not talking about "guessing" the model/make of the car/suv/truck LOL t...

I just paid 149 for the 08 GS handguards from Chicago BMW, I waited 2 months for them and they had to be modified a little but look and work great! Hi, can you please post pictures? A friend of mine would like to install the the 08 GS handguards, but, before to do so, he would like to have a look t...

Rear with top box

I hope the pictures help.

which topcase is this one?

I was able to put the new 08 GS handguards on my 08 R12R. They are workable but you need to switch the left and right mounting brackets. The angle does not work out correctly unless you do that. Also, shimming material would be helpful for the mount to the inside portion of the handlebars. I used t...

Bummer!

there is a huge tread on the fit of the old style R1200GS hand guards for the R1200R,
but would the R1150GS hand guards fit on the R1200R?
if the answer is obvious, please forgive me

TIA

please let us know if we new to buy/modify the GS kit in order to fit to a R1200R ....I want one very soon as the cold weather will soon arrive

what do you use and where to get it?
I would like a clear/transparent (like 3M thing they put on the front of car hood)
all I can find is the ugly curvy things (Keiti?)

looks like a darn good deal!!!!

yeah, for the first 1000km (640mi) they say to not push it over 4000rpm.. [-X ..tempting though ;-))) can't wait to have my hardbags (and keyed) installed. :roll: ....this is kind of weird to leave 2 hardbags, a topcase and a glovebox to nothing !!! :doubt: LOL in 1 & half week everything will b...

I have it:
R1200R black....
really happy
wind screen and hardbags on the way (not in stock :-( )

so different from my R1150RT !!!! :-))

I'm 5'6" and I've just bought the R1200R with standard seat...I'm fine
with the lower seat it is lower so I'm pretty sure that you don't need to lower the suspension....
