Removeable drivers back rest for 2002 R1150R

Hey gang,

Does anyone make a removable drivers back rest that will fit my beloved 2002 R1150R. My passenger gets the on the the back of my Givi topcase. It would be nice to have one for those long runs of superslab to get to the twisty roads. Thanks for any feedback.

Re: Considering a 2002 R 1150 R......

I am on a 2002 R1150R with ABS. I picked it up with only 400 miles on the bike. I now have 28,000 miles. I have to say to more I run it the better it seems to get. I have to agree with one of the comments that you can do more than light touring on it. I live in Central NY state and have been all ove...

Re: alaska leather seat cover to stop sliding passengers?

That sticky stuff on the back of the passenger seat is the same stuff they make tool drawer liners out of. Just buy yourself a roll, a little creative cutting and a staple gun and you should be just fine.

Re: Rear tire size question for the group

Hey gang,

Thanks for all the great advice. I am sorry but I was really only looking at the 180 as the only viable option being able to go on the stock room. All of the advice is much appreciated. I now have to come up with the cash for the tires :-)

Rear tire size question for the group

First, happy holidays everyone. I have to shod my 2002 baby with new tires. I am thinking of going with the new pirelli angel st tires. Our current rear size tire is 170/60-ZR17. The manufacturer only makes 180/55-ZR17 and 190/50-ZR17. I still have the stock rims on my bike. Any idea on which tire I...

Anyone intalled pivotpegz on R1150R

Hey gang, Been a while since I posted so good to be back. Okay, I finally saved up a few pennies and purchased some PivotPegz for my 2002 R1150R. I purchased the PivotPegz that would fit an R1150GS or R1150GS adventure. Ordered from AS BMW and they were nice enough to say that if it didn't work out ...

Hey Strangelove, I hear your pain on that one. I removed my tank to wire up some auxiliary lighting. My thought was well you have the tank off so change the filter while you are there. I actually called up my riding buddy to curse BMW on his cellphone voicemail. OMG. It really should not be that muc...

Hey gang, Getting ready to do my fall maintenance on my bike. Placed the T-40 in the final drain fill plug and it just spun. The fill plug is definitely stripped. Can anyone suggest the best way to get it off. I was going to use the old dremel and cut two slots within the top of the plug and use use...

Re: Aerosol spray can straws in bulk? Anyone

Very funny stuff gang but it amazes me how no one has been able to track this item down. I find it so strange that no one sells them in some sort of bulk or small bulk pack for consumers. Well, looks like I will have to make multiple trips to me local Autozone :) :)

Okay, This absolutely drives me mad. Everyone knows those little red aerosol spray can straws that come on the cans of brake cleaner fluid, WD-40, etc.....

Speedometer died on my 02 1150R

Hey gang, Went for a long ride today up in Adirondack state park today. Bike performed perfect as usual but I was surprised when I looked down to check my trip odometer to get a gauge on how many miles I had consumed. It read about 44 miles. Look at it again about 30 minutes later and it read 44 mil...
