New to this forum but not new to BMW!
Hi all,
I just bought a 2011 R1200R and loving it.
I am hoping to learn more about this bike and what I can put on it eg. windshild and other things.

I also have an '11 R1200. I love it. There are many accessories. Check out the various BMW sites here. First thing I got was the potentiometer gard for the left side. It is very easy to brake if your boot hits it. Trust me I know. I broke mine while on a trip to Cabo San Lucas. Luckily there was a new dealer there.
Good luck,
MM

I replaced the sport screen with a Wunderlich Ergo Touring screen. Very pleased. Takes a bit to figure out installation, but fits me well (5'11", Comfort seat).

I'm still hunting for a screen. Could you please post some pics? Thanks.CEW wrote:I replaced the sport screen with a Wunderlich Ergo Touring screen. Very pleased. Takes a bit to figure out installation, but fits me well (5'11", Comfort seat).

Wunderlich Vario Ergo Screen for 2011+
There is a fairly good picture on the Wunderlich site.
It takes a little fiddling to mount the screen and moving the turn signals, but it all comes together pretty well.

At least I see some consistancy here.. but you have it backwards:
"break" - something is broken when it breaks..
"brakes" - are used to stop your bike.
I'm heading twitching away from the computer now..
