HD folks use WD40 to renew the black wrinkle coat...

The BMW demo truck came to town 2 weeks ago and I thought it would have the 1300's. It didn't. One salesman said they weren't going to bring the 1300R to the states. I know when I wanted to get rid of my K1200R, nobody including the dealer wanted it. I rode the K1200S 2X and want to try the 1300S. I...

Being large, I love Joe Rocket(3 jackets, 6 pairs of gloves). But I am going to try Fieldsheer(Aviator jacket) this winter. No special pants for me.

That I do not know...

These worked for me...

I used this kit, I bought it used from someone here. Worked great, but you will grind your pegs in deep corners.

I'd get the price down more and buy it. I've had more than 6 bikes and this one is the first w/ ABS. Only because I had no choice.

This sounded good. Removed the silencer when ripping out of town, kept it in for commuting...

Bought it from Victory BMW during Oktoberfest on sale...

I have used them. I never waited 2 months though. Maybe 2-3 weeks...

These guys are in AZ...

I hope the Rockster is treating you well. I miss it a little...

When I had it, I had a taller windscreen on it for blasting across the desert. I'm quite wide and at 80+ mph, the wind drag sucked w/o the windscreen.

It must not be an issue to the manufacturers, because there is a maintenance CD on e-bay for most vehicles out there. Saw one for the Hayabusa, Raptor 660, Rockster, K1200R, and RT. Many forums even have downloadable versions on them. I'm sure it would be easy to go after the original "pirater&...

I thought it was widely known that Chicago BMW has the worst customer service, but we put up w/ it because of the prices...

I love the prices, but you get what you pay for.

What stock are you looking for? I think Victory in Chandler has a lot of accessories, not sure on hard parts. They get my business as they are close to me and they sell me bikes cheap. Iron horse in Tucson has got the best reputation as far as service. There is no factory store more north in AZ than...

The problem for BMW and their customers, is that the same issues are in their GT and that bike is all about 2-up riding and commuting. And for that amount of money, it's a shame. Yea, I learned to use the clutch alot in traffic and parking lots, no big deal. But such a bummer on what should be a top...

If you are buying a used one, makes sure you ride it slowly first. My 06 KR suffered badly from really rough slow speed fuel injection. Riding 2 up was impossible, we would keep bumping helmets. I had more SW updates than I could count, and the computer only holds a certain amount then you pay for a...

I have this picture in my mind of the bear watching and laughing, what a story to tell the other bears...

Glad you are okay!!!

Buy one now and then get the other in a couple of years. I'm on my 3rd BMW in 5 years(Rockster, KR, R1200RT). I also had a Y2K Hayabusa and before that a HD FXDX. I want to try out all types of bikes while I'm not too old. Life is good and there are a lot of great bikes out there to try. I can't aff...

I ran my Rockster for 2 years sans can...
