Sorry, I don't have very good pictures as you requested. I believe Patrick P.13 has exactly the same fairing as I have. If you still curious how it looks, I will try to take some more photo for you, but it will take some time.

Hi Yoshi,

Thanks.. they show me what I needed. I was wondering if there was room above the instruments for a GPS, and from the looks of things - there isn't. It is quite nice how it is molded around the instrument cluster...

Yoshi,
That is some very nice work. I think the Subaru Blue looks really good on that bike. Bravo!

My two bits!

Two more for silly sake---but she's my baby! Traditional, but sporty.

HI, Don,
Doesn't it look like there might be room for a gps to the right of the RID, like with a tech mount off of the handlebar?

John, after having GPS's in lots of different spots - I find I prefer them to be as close to eye level as possible. They cause the least distraction from watching the road that way. I think even right of the RID one might block part of the instruments.

This is my current setup (with a NAV-III replacing the 2720 Garmin):

I agree with you 100% about blocking any part of the view of the dash and the zumo on my 1150r is mounted to obstruct nothing with a tech-mount (as is my Sirius radio). It looked like there was a niche on the right that a zumo might fit in, but your nav display looks to be wider than the zumo, perhaps.

Just superb Joe. Your photos capture the essence of what biking is all about for me - the sense of adventure , freedom and excitement, and the access it gives us to the stunning beauty of the world around us , if we just take time to stop and look a while.

Inspiring and really appreciated. Thank you.

Joe,
Awesome images!! Soooo good to see you back on the R!!

Some pictures of our Lake Michigan Circle Tour this summer:

Hey Chitown; glad to see your cool pics again.
Never thought I'd get rid of the R1150R; but the R1200... is sweet, even in Elephantitus Trim.
I've blasted lots of dirt roads on it & it's taken a dirt nap or two, a real blast to ride.... anywhere.

Thanks!

Not sure why photo 1 wasn't showing up.... fixed.

What's Elephantitus Trim?



And quit dropping your bike! they don't like it.

Elephantitus Trim = an affectionate term for my new R1200GSA....

Ahhh.... nice boxer, even if...


cheers

Joe,

Those B&W shots are fantastic.

An older but fun one, back before I had ripped off the skidplate.
