Handlebar protectors

Post by injun »

After having tested a R1200GS I have decided to explore the possibility of fitting handlebar protectors to my R1150R. Is there a readily available kit, stock or aftermarket, that will fit the R1150R?

Do you mean protection for your hands?

A lot of R1150R riders use the R1150GS hand guards -- see picture below.

I like your mirrors. Are they from a K1200S?

Hey, Bob. Nice job..! Which windshield do you have? What height? How do you like it? Sorry about the highjack. I would have PM'd you if it was working.

The mirrors are the K mirrors.

The windshield is the BMW Touring windshield.

With the K mirrors installed the Handguard spoilers will fit nicely. VERY useful for the NoDak cold season.
