Newbe

Post by Kieran R1200R »

Hi, I am new to this board.
I recently sold my R1200S to buy a R1200R.
Have done some lovely mods to her and would love to post some pictures
but don;t know how to.
I have read that you need a web server, thought I have one.
How do you go about it?

Cheers

Kieran

At my photobucket site you choose the picture you want to post and below the pictures there are four or five different ways you can choose to place the photo. The box is labled "Share This Image" In the box is a line called "IMG Code". Just click on it and it is saved to your clipboard (like right clicking and choosing copy), then you just right click and paste it on your posting at this site.
Good luck. I want to see your bike.

I case you missed what Mark is saying..
  • Go to: http://www.photobucket.com - and create a free account
  • Create a folder to store your photos in
  • Change to the folder
  • Use their tool to upload them off your computer (it will auto-resize them.)
  • Under each photo (after you're done with the title/tag silliness) - will be some links you can click on.. You want to click and copy the one that starts with [img]
  • Then come back here, and right click in the message you're writing and paste - this will embed an image link into the message here, and your photos will show up.

Man O man is that pretty or what?! Both the wheels and the handlebars. I love them. The white bike is very nice too. One of the best looking R1200Rs I've ever seen.
How do the wheels feels on the road? What is the weight difference between them and the stock ones?
Pant Pant, did I mention I liked your bike?

The weight is less than half.
I originally bought them for my R1200S, becuse it had slow steering and I wanted to quicken it up, also because they loook absolutely beautiful too.
On the R1200R they make a already quick steering bike nearly leithel.
Because they are so light the bike accelerates quicker, does evrything in a blink.
The bike is still heavy enough to make good of the ohlins too.
Overall there great!

I'm guessing between the different rotors, and the rims this wasn't an inexpensive exercise? Am I correct in the bike not having ABS (don't see a place for the tone-rings..)

Look closely at the front wheel photo and you'll see a tone ring!

Ah ha! Very nice. Who made the center spider for the rotors?

No wheels for sale.

Where do you get your tires changed? You must be careful.
